OMG! My guitar is screwed up!
« on: April 30, 2009, 12:23:30 AM »
I was at the hospital with my sister earlier (she was in a car accident) and I left my cousin in my room.  He asked if he could play my guitar, and I said "sure, just dont do anything more to it than tune it if it gets out of tune."  I come home and the :censored: is messing with the bridge and the string saddles!!! Now the whole thing is out of whack! What can I do about this? I have no idea how to set up a guitar! It was set up at guitar center when I got it!!!

ROFL maybe guitar center can do it for free (forgot i bought the insurance >.>)

My cousin has no clue how to set one up other than put strings on it.  He is only good at playing, and nothing else.  Its rather unfortunate actually ^_^ (the funny thing is, the :censored: that screwed it up is the OLDER brother of the great guitarist.)

take a screwdriver/alan key (depending on what you have) to your bridge and loosen and tighten stuff at random.  then you will know.

dont actually do it

He said the action was too low (it buzzed a LITTLE bit when you did something on the twelfth fret) so he wanted to fix it. I was fine with the little bit of buzzing, it wasn't too bad >.<
