The difference was very noticeable between a fret before and after.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Oiling:<\/strong> The rosewood key was <strong>dry as the Gobi Desert<\/strong>.

I found this system <strong>very unpleasant<\/strong> to change. I used a trick: <strong>bend the rope<\/strong> to create an angle before inserting it so that it catches the bridge and rises.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Winding Method:<\/strong> To tighten the tuning pegs, I inserted the string, pulled it as tight as possible by hand, then... <strong>recast by about one square<\/strong> (One and a half frets is ideal for thicker strings). By tightening, I ensure that the winding is <strong>descending<\/strong>, which creates a locking angle and better tension.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Adjusting the Action (String Height)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Curvature Check (Post-tension):<\/strong> I put the strings under tension and checked the <em>relief<\/em>. The handle is <strong>elastic<\/strong> and the curvature was still too pronounced. I made several <strong>round trips<\/strong> between loosening the strings, adjusting the <em>truss rod<\/em> (+1\/4 turn, etc.) and re-energize until a satisfactory curvature is obtained.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Easel Height (Action):<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I determined the <strong>radius of the key<\/strong> (between 9\u2033 and 10\u2033 with templates).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I aimed for a share of approximately <strong>1.5 mm<\/strong> under the small rope and <strong>1.75 mm<\/strong> under the big rope (for comfortable playability).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I adjusted the height of the outer bridges, then I adjusted the intermediate bridges to <strong>follow the aisle<\/strong> of the touch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Intonation (Final Setting)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Intonation ensures that the instrument sounds in tune along the entire length of the neck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Principle:<\/strong> We need to compare the sound of <strong>the harmonic at the 12th fret<\/strong> with the sound of <strong>the fretted note at the 12th fret<\/strong>. The two must be perfectly identical.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adjustment:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If the fretted note is <strong>lower\/bass<\/strong> that the harmonic (flat), it is necessary <strong>move forward<\/strong> the bridge (shorten the rope). (Tip: <em>Flat Forward<\/em>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the fretted note is <strong>higher\/sharper<\/strong> that the harmonic (sharp), it is necessary <strong>to move back<\/strong> the bridge (lengthen the rope).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Observation :<\/strong> The bridges have taken the classic form of a <strong>stairs<\/strong> after the adjustment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lubrication<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Saddle and bridges:<\/strong> I used some <strong>pencil lead (graphite)<\/strong> to lubricate the nut slots and the contact points on the bridge saddles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Liquid :<\/strong> I applied a small drop of <strong>ceramic-based bicycle chain lubricant<\/strong> on the pivot points of the bridges, wiping away the excess so that it does not come into contact with the vibrating part of the string (which would impair the sound).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion: The Guardian of Your Guitar<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A well-adjusted guitar makes all the difference: it sounds better, it plays better, and you&#039;ll want to play it more often.
