Tools and materials:
This project begun by a toy guitar. It had some potential but it couldn't actually play. So I tried to make a few fine tunings on the instrument and now it's actually playable.
First of all I checked if the 12th fret was in the middle of the distance from nut to nut. It was a little off. So I removed the nut and bridge.
I then cut the headstock a little bit because I wanted to make it a 4 string instrument.
Since I removed the bridge I had to repaint the top. I used my airbrush with latex paints and water based varnish.
Next I re-positioned the bridge and epoxied it in place.
Now the fret was OK but I had really high action which led to intonation problems. So to lower the action I lowered the height of both nuts.
And my little guitar was ready. Still it isn’t the most easy and accurate instrument but at least it is playable. I hope you liked this project, because that was it, see you soon with a new project video.
