@Loraine thank you for the feedback. I am not opposed too having a professional setup done, however when I inquired how long it will take last I was in the shop (before this issue began) I was told 2 weeks… and I’ll be honest I don’t want to go 2 weeks without playing guitar.
My main goal is to play at my Mother’s 70th birthday this summer, entire family is getting together for a week to celebrate. I have never touched a guitar in any meaningful way before January of this year. Neither she, or any of my family know I have taken up guitar, so it will hopefully be a nice surprise. I am trying to get as much time playing as I can in before the big “debut”. I really don’t want to buy a 2nd guitar at this point, and don’t want to give up daily playing for 2 weeks, so I decided to forgo the setup. Looks like I may not have a choice now, this is so annoying that I don’t think I have much of a choice if I can’t figure it out… the B String in particular is like fingernails on a chalkboard when acts up.
I hate to lose 2 weeks, I may have to buy a cheaper “fill in” guitar for that period, which isn’t the end of the world, but just hate to buy an even cheaper guitar for such a short time, because I know I won’t touch it again once I get the FG800 back… and I don’t feel I am far enough along to justify buying a “really nice” guitar yet either. Plan was put a year or two on this one and if still advancing and interested in it, then go buy a nice guitar.
But as the saying goes… “Men plan, God Laughs”.
