the 1/64 is from the 1st. fret to the top, with no skipping of strings.
remember i am using .08 to .042 strings so i have a lot less tention than you will.
besides it is an american built gretsch, and i do all of my own set-ups.

remember , some of us have it and some of us dont. in my case i'm full of it. lol

that has nothing to do with the subject.

jimmy

this should be a bunch.

That's pretty blasted good, I'd say. I'm only able to get 2/64 without buzz on my Strat though I do have a bit thicker guage of strings. Sexy pictures. How'd you get the epic damage on the side?

And whatever "it" is, I'm accused of being full of it very frequently.

that is just wear from my arm, with a real shitty touch up attempt.

don't forget i played that guitar for over 40 years, 25 full time. it is only worn off finish.
the cracks you see are finish cracks caused by temp. changes, trailer to inside , with no time to let it warm up in the case.

Ah, I see. Looks cool, none the less. Damage like that always seems kind of alluring to me. Something about a guitar that's been there, done that, y'know?

Why do I have the feeling you wouldn't want it to talk if it could?
