Jagstang Setup 2018

[XaG 0]

Hi guys I have been in this community for a little while now, I've read all of the setup post's but I've still got unbelievably high action on my Jagstang, which if i try to lower start to get buzz and notes fretting out. I've had my JagStang since October last year and haven't got it they way I want. I've took it to a repair shop, but they didn't fix anything, just took my money. I had to go back 3 times because of problems the last being because the guy forgot to put a screw in the pickguard, so overall a terrible experience. Completely unprofessional. I've done adjustments myself, followed setup guides, replace the nut that the guy over filed. I'm at the end of my ropes with this guitar, because I love everything about it, but can't play without wanting to make it better

I'm sorry if I come across as a whiny bitch, I know this is the best community for offset guitars on the internet, so if you guys can't help me I'm fu**ed.

 

Thanks, XaG

Hi, I’m new here as well but you might like to check out in this forum and other mustang and jag forums about neck shimming. It’s cheap and easy and really helps bridge/action issues. Good luck.

I will do.

Thanks for the reply.

Hey Brotha, I've had a similar issue with my jag, I put on a Warmoth Mustang sadle and then increased my string gauge to 11-52 (which was the real issue solver). I'm sorry about your crappy experience in the shop, I highly suggest looking up a local luthier (not a store) and getting a pro setup on there. The guitar sounds 100% better with one. it'll cost like $80-120 but seriously world of difference. 

My use case: Frequent Gigging, Weekly rehearsals, heavy use

I would measure the neck relief and determine if the neck needs to be adjusted.
