curious tech question, string height before truss adjust?


just thinkin, on fixed bridge setup, seeing as they both affect action do you personally think it's better to begin by adjusting string heights on the bridge or truss rod??

Personally I do as much setting up with the bridge before I even consider the trussrod (purely because the trussrod is more of a mither to mess with)

Truss rod first -- always. Adjusting the truss is simple and quick. If you do it the other way, you will have to repeat the bridge adjustment again after the truss rod anyway.

hmm true, but then again you have the whole 'settling in time' fandago which means you cant see the perfect results of your labour straight away
