There is no way on Gods Green Earth I would sit on a new guitar for a week before it could get "set up". No fuckin' way...
Do yourself a favor and buy this book...
It will teach you everything you need to know to do that shit yourself. Never trust someone else to know what you like. Do it yourself and it's perfect everytime...
Nice guitar!I'm angry because you're stupid

OK sweetie, we'll say no more about it if you like .
So, has it worn off yet. What's the next purchase?
Getting new guitars always gives me wood, but it's like fucking a woman I have pursued for ages (down back alleys, over fields, through the woods etc), as soon as I have emptied my bag I lose interest and am looking for the next conquest. The more you get, the shorter the high.
The only exception being my first Jackson, the snakeskin one, that still makes me want it.So I woke up,rolled over and who was lying next to me? Only Bonnie Langford!

Nope it hasn't worn off. Cuz I haven't played her yet. Setup first. Yes I know what you mean. I kept swapping between two girls and they hate each others' guts. So if I'm ever going back (I left both of them to afford this WR1), I've gotta choose wisely. Having said that - I see another graphic USA Jackson, they're both dumped again. The only guitar I don't play that often is the DK2S.Fuck ebay, fuck paypal

you won't play it until you've had her setup? Fuck that - you have more will power than I. I'd be playing the ass off her all week in the meantime.
Or is it in the shop, and you won't get it back for a week? Then I could understand. Actually, no. I'd set it up myself the day it arrived and play the shit out of it!Hail yesterday

Not when the trem is below the body's surface. Unplayable at the mo. I have no experience in setups, hence I'm getting the shop to do it. In the meantime, I'm looking for one of those books that teaches me how to do it. I'll use my DK2S as a guinea pig before letting myself loose on my WR1.Fuck ebay, fuck paypal

I admire your patience. Don't understand it for all fuck but I admire it...
Did 2 setups today for a local shop here. Took me 30 minutes for both. Those guys at the shop are laughing their ass off because of people like you. How much do they charge? Around here it starts at $25 and goes up from there. Don't pay that cash. Just thowing money away. Besides no one else knows exactly how you like your guitar set up. Hell, I bet YOU don't even know how you like the guitar set up. Do yourself a favor and buy that book. They have some used ones for 11 bucks. Isn't that like 6 bucks for you guys? Cheaper than I set up I bet...Last edited by Bengal; 02-23-2008, 05:15 PM.I'm angry because you're stupid

Learn to do this as it will save you shitloads of money and it will make you more aware of what's going on with your guitar. But it's your like Adolf.Fwopping, you know you want to!

I'm buying the book, don't worry. £12 ain't bad. The setup will be no more than £25 including a set of strings (far less than most shop prices £40-£60). It's a one off. I promise I'll do my all my own setups from then on.Fuck ebay, fuck paypal

Don't buy a book. Buy the Dr Robert Guitar Setup video (can't recall it's exact name, but I got mine from Guitarist magazine years ago.)
Yes, he's a simpering poofter with a dodgy haircut, but he knows about guitars. He even sets up a Strat, a Les Paul, and a Jem to show you some different types of guitars. Nice and easy.
Oh, and Shob was going to call me if you went to his place and we were going to make you Lucky Pierre. Next time!So I woke up,rolled over and who was lying next to me? Only Bonnie Langford!
