Tomorrow I will go to Woodsong luthier in Boulder CO. to pick up my 89-year-old Gibson mandolin. I decided to send it to the health spa and have it given a pro set up. It is a wonderful mando and I decided it deserved a good tune up.
So, while I am down there I was thinking I should take them my 514e to have some work done. The guitar has this very annoying B string twang (I think you all know what I am talking about), I can most times play and I don't notice the twang, but just today I was really annoyed.
Since I will be at the luthier I could take it with me, just drop it off and have a pro do it. But, could I take care of this myself?, is it a job the unwashed could do successfully?, and if so how the in the world would I solve the problem? How do you eliminate the B string twang?
I typically do repairs like home improvements myself, and I am not afraid to work on my guitar. I installed Gotoh tuners on my 814ceFLTD with no problems. I am a bit nervous about filing down a nut or saddle on such a beautiful LTD Taylor. Does anybody know what I will need to do to fix my B string twang or should I just go ahead and let the pro do it.
