    Baritones and intonation

    Honestly, Tony, I don't think Buzz intended any condescension, as that would be out of character for him in my experience. But I do have a quick question, Tony-- does your baritone feature an adjustable truss rod? My understanding of the finer principles of these things is limited, but I...

    Ja jsem sirotek (Song from old Prague) for plastic ukulele

    Awesome! I think we may apply different terms to the sport (here in the U.S. we generally call it soccer, and I'm guessing that in the Czech Republic it's known as football). By either name, it's a great sport! I must admit, I had little interest or exposure to it growing up, but when my...

    Installing a Disc-type Passive Piezo Pickup

    Hey, glad to hear that you managed an installation, Pondweed, and that your open mic debut went well !! I've had very serviceable results with these types of disc pickups, just by sticking them as best I could reach, in a position that-- although not ideal-- seemed like it ought to catch...

    Uncommon tuners?!

    That's a nice little unit, Jump. I'm still having really good luck with my basic Snark model, which I've had for about 8 years now. One of its swivel joints did crack a few years ago, but I was able to fix it with superglue, and it's still holding up okay! I'm honestly not a fan of...

    Risa Electric Les Paul, intonation / tuning problems

    Thanks, PT, good deal. For some reason Prenez's update (indicating that the issue was fixed) didn't show up on my system. I'm probably missing something. :unsure:

    So many great artists named! Being a soprano fan, I might add Ukulele Uff, and Andy Eastwood, to the list!

    Risa Electric Les Paul, intonation / tuning problems

    Good video, Neil! I note that we haven't heard back from the original poster (Prenez) yet. Maybe he'll hop back on soon and we can continue the troubleshooting process! :)

    Risa Electric Les Paul, intonation / tuning problems

    Good points, PT. I see that these have an adjustable truss rod too, although it seems unlikely that the problem would stem from excessive neck relief, especially if this is a new instrument that no previous owner has tinkered with. A few photos of the nut area and the bridge area really...

    Risa Electric Les Paul, intonation / tuning problems

    Hi Prenez, maybe I can get the ball rolling for you here... Does your Risa Les Paul have a "zero fret"? If so, that probably eliminates the nut as a source of your issue. When you tune the strings accurately in their "open" position, and then check them for accuracy at the 12th fret, are...
