Dumb question, is this actually Lee’s guitar?

Hey Dean. Greetings from México city. I have two questions for you. I recently bought this new Schecter C-7 SLS Elite guitar, It has an Ernie Ball compensated nut, 9-54 strings, two way truss rod and 12"-16" compound radius. I'm having some fret buzz problems that I'm trying to solve. It occurs on the low B, E and A strings at the 9th to 12th frets area. So in order to do the required adjustments I asked to Schecter for their setup specs for this guitar and they answerd only neck relief, string action and intonation but didnt comment anything about nut acttion. By now I set it up (as they said) starting flatening the neck moving the truss rod to the center position and then going anti clock wise to 0.100 (0.25mm) on the 12 fret for neck relief. The nut action is 0.003 (0.08mm) for high E string and 0.002 (0.05mm) for the low B string, I didnt touch the nut height. The strings action is 4/64" from high E to D strings, 5/64" from A to low E strings and 7/64" on the low B. All the frets are leveled. So the questions are ¿What do you think is causing the fret buzz? ¿What will be an good starting point for the relief and nut action for this guitar? Thanks in advance!

WSS?

Awesome video and super educational! Been a fan of yours since the BMTH rig rundown vid from a few years ago. Nice one Dean. Subbed!

Would love to see one of these videos detailing your bossk rig. Your sound was outrageously big!

Why did you not play it after you made adjustments?

This is the type of stuff I like to see and learn from on TH-cam! Immediately subscribed.

I thought this model has a Richlite fretboard...not sure the oil has any impact as it is not permeable. But great job overall!

"That cherry picker's doing my fookin' head in!" haha. Great stuff though love the insight and info on the rigs.

Just bought one of these guitars 2019 model, with trem, like you said the build Quality is fantastic, and the playability is so easy, the neck system is so smooth to play, thanks for the tips ect, 1st time here really enjoyed the Video

It's great to see your spreading your knowledge after being a tech for a big band for a bit !! Great to be able to get some tips and tricks from a pro like yourself !!

ooooh man is UK full of talented people or whuuuaaaaat!

Great video! Can you tell me about Fishman's orange and green wires named "boost"? Do they work or not? Do I need to solder them together under rubber or are they useless? I dont remember how it was in stock. I remember only that they was under rubber

man its so cool to see this, weird to think i was at this show as well haha

Ever thought about doing an online training course, that people can pay for? Would be great! Just like different tiers, Beginner, Intermediate, professional. One for home musicians who just want to be able to re-string properly and safely and set up their guitars for their own playing then the other two tiers for more experienced techs, or people who want to start from the ground up.

Great video. What was the model of those gotoh machineheads? I have same guitar and i like'd to do those changes.

I have learned so much from watching these videos and seeing your work throughout the years. I am curious, though, why not set the radius from the underside of the strings?

Thx you for your video i have the same guitar

Oh man!! I’ve been waiting for this one. Absolutely love GC! Let’s fucking go

Loved watching this! So inspiring to see someone so knowledgeable and detailed in the work they do, a master at their craft! I'm surprised Benji and Billy are old school tube amp users though, would have expected them to be on Axe FX or Kemper but good to see they still rocking the half stack 🤘 Please do more of these!

Do you think you could do a video about how to know how to adjust a truss rod? I’m always worried about it simply cause I have no idea how to “read” the neck.

Why is that I can't seem to be able to download the service sheet. It doesn't let me to download or print it.

Cheers, mate

Love the show super helpful. Any chance you can post your checklist? Thanks again.

Very interesting insight, thanks for the video!

Hahahahahaaha

Awesome channel find great video content Dean! 👌 looking forward to more

Great insight into what work goes on behind the scenes. Looks like the show was awesome too, wish I could have been there.

Hi Dean I’m currently studying at a music college in Brighton and my dream is to be a guitar tech with a touring band, do you have any tips on how to get into this job?

Where can you find the Cat 5 Boxes ?

Again, can’t recommend you highly enough, with my strandberg and with this mayones you absolutely killed it, they both play better than they did on arrival, truly inspiring instruments! Thank you again, let’s catch up and have a beer or something soon!!

Amazing job as always!

Never understand this wild 80 string. It will be sound unbalanced on power chords. For this tuning and that inch scale perfect will be 11-56 or 12-60 for higher tension. But clients desires it’s their desires.

Limp bizkit tuning is actually c# standard. They only play a couple of songs in drop b.

awesome video dean. With the hipshot fixed bridges, the grub screws that adjust the saddle height always seem to dig into the base plate and scratch the coating. Once you remove the bit of paper that come with the hipshot bridges, how do you try to reduce or stop any damage in the future if you need to make any adjustments? Thanks in advance

Lovely first video! Nice to see the work that goes on behind the scenes.

Update: can’t play the strandberg for a few months as I have a broken wrist from falling off the stupid fucking thing I’m riding at the end of the video hahahahaahahaha

Extremely interesting to watch! Thanks!

Really slick mate. Best teching video I’ve ever seen. Subscribed!

Hey Dean! we met in Venezuela a few years ago when you went with BMTH - great stuff! keep going mate

love the videos so far! if you manage to get a guitar with a trem or floyd. I would love to see your approach to setting those guitars up. I only have experience with fixed bridges.

Another great video Dean. From another Notts based guitar tech, F1 fan and biker \m/

Incredible work dude, would absolutely love to see you set some evertune and floyd rose guitars up at some point ! Cheers

Hahahaha love this man, thank you so much for the work you did on the guitar, it plays impeccably, the way I’ve always seen it is that often overengineered guitars lack the mojo of something more old school but something about how a strandberg resonates and feels, it just rips in the same way that a strat would! Nothing on the guitar is necessary but just really nice to have, makes life that bit easier when you play as much as I do! I am a fruitcake indeed, it’s part of my charm 😂

Always lovely waking up and watching these on a Saturday morning. I’ve never been a fan of these guitars, looks wise. I’ve played one, they’re great. Just not for me. 😂 Taping that fretboard is my worst nightmare 😂😂

I do event security and often speak with touring crew guys. Coolest guys to speak too, always. Loved this video!

I remember you from the BMTH Rig Rundown! Glad you came up on my page! Love this. 🔥

What an awesome point of view of a huge event - thanks for sharing, this was super interesting to watch

Really cool video, love anything behind the scenes. Shows how much work is put in and by how many people!

Dean, you are a legend! Fan since your work at BMTH! 🇲🇽
