Tonight I worked on a Tangelwood acoustic which was in need of some love. Having already re-glued the headstock, it was now time to move on to get this guitar back to playing ways!
There was a great deal of fret wear down the lower end of the guitar so I needed to do some heavier work down there, and re-profile the rest of the fret work accordingly.
Once the frets were levelled, I polished them up to a high shine, and began work on setting the guitar up.
I lowered the height of the nut a fraction to make the feel a bit lighter down in the open position, and then worked to bring the bridge saddle down a touch to get a lower action across the rest of the neck.
New machine heads are now fitted, and with fresh strings she’s now playing much better, and looks great after the thorough polish I gave the guitar!
