Hello everyone,
I just got an Eastman 315 sent from Arizona sent to San Jose, CA.
It was set up prior to shipping, but after bringing it up to pitch I found that the action is high enough at the nut that I can't get a clean low Ab without over pressing the G string. I eye-balled it and the gap does seem a bit wide.
I just bought some feeler gauges online and will have them Thursday. I also got and read Rob's free set-up ebook.
My quandry is: Does the 12" radiused fretboard on the Eastman mean I need to measure the string gaps with a radiused feeler gauge?
Does such a thing exist?
Should I move (or remove the G strings) to get an accurate measurement of the D strings?
Lastly, I plan to let the instrument acclimate to its new environment for at least a week before trying to adjust anything.
Is that ample time?
Would traveling from Arizona to San Jose in less than a week cause the action to get too high at the nut?
Thanks for any insights!
Aldon Sanders
