Ep 14 – Q&A and Harmony Truss Rods

In this episode, Eric and Melissa take questions about why Fender bridge pickups are slanted, why Gibson stopped doing the volute, how to properly shim up a bone saddle on a high end acoustic guitar, what’s the deal with Harmony truss rods, and whether or not tricking out cheap guitars is worth it. Also, Rickenbacker guitars are beautiful but feel really weird.
