I’ve learned a great deal from diving into this fretboard work, so I’m glad I used this cheap guitar to get started. When I do my first build I won’t be completely green and at least have a clue on the interplay between the nut, the saddle and each fret in between.
I had some big issues on the 11th, 16th and 17th frets, but also part of the problem was in the treble area of the saddle. The high E string was too low, so even after leveling all the frets I still had buzzing. I’ve corrected it by fabricating a small plastic spacer before ordering a package of new saddles.
I suspect that the rather extreme temperature and humidity fluctuations have played havoc with the neck on this instrument. I keep it under AC at all times, but never in it’s case. It’s either on a stand or hanging on the wall.
