dousty

It was put together and bought from a guy called Vince Sansevere at Huntington Guitars in Coneticut. Body and neck are Allparts products. The excessive beveling is a problem the entire length of the neck apart from the 22nd fret. It was a good price because to buy the guitars in parts here is Aus would cost well over $1k Aus. I paid $500 US for it. Emg 81, Afterburner and Grovers would total over $500 alone. Pity about the frets Here's a shot of the trem and a pic of the guitar. Thanks for the help guys.

Thanks for the replies guys!! Standard 6 point trem. If you look at the 22nd fret you will see the least amount of bevel out of the entire frets. I would like to think that a nut would solve the problem but after taking a look at my other "decent" guitars (which one is an ESP Eclipse CTM-1) I'd have to say there is way too much of a bevel cut into the rest of the frets. There is a luither here in Australia called Charles Cilia but damned if I can get his contact details! Thanks for the input!

Thanks for the response. I think your right, I will wait untill I get a few more opinions although I agree with most of whats been said so far.

The spacing is very close to 7mm between all slots.

Cool thx for the advice. A new nut would be my prefered option for simplicity lol

Hi guys. I'm not a builder but I do like to tinker with guitars. I am hoping one of you wise people could offer me some advice. Earlier this year I bought a "strat" from a shop in the USA (I'm Australian). It's pretty hard to get a good apprasial over then net but it looked sound. Anyway, once I got it here and gave it a good setup it played fairly well. My problem though is the high sliping off the fret board. It seems to me that the frets have too greater a chamfer un them and that makes the string slid off the board. The low E seems to be spaced the same distance from the edge of the board but I dont have the same trouble using it. IThat may well have to do with the different way in which that string is played. Here are a few pics that may help the description. My question is...what do I do to fix it? I'm guessing a re-cut nut that takes the string way from the edge won;t work and that leaves a re-fret. Thanks guys.
