I had someone (a shop) restring a guitar like that. The why is unfathomable to me. I had such a hard time getting the strings off the tuning posts, and I actually pricked myself accidentally with a string and I cursed the shop and used every expletive in the book while spending 4 times as much time and effort trying to undo the shit winding job. NEVER AGAIN.
the only time there is a pad under the bridge is when it's new and should be removed... the bridge should sit directly on top. out of all my archtops, and i've got 2 that are over $5k, i always come back to my epi joe pass... i LOVE it. they are excellent jazz boxes!!! for $600, u kidding me?? they are the definition of sweetness.
Wow that’s real nice to hear considering I just got my Joe pass emperor pro a week ago…., right out of the box it looks and sounds beautiful. I am hoping to have the action lowered a bit. I wanna do it myself. Thanks man
Awesome Eric. I'm at work and you have me itching to restring my emperor just to play it. I just cannot get past the B string buzzing. I too have a rosewood bridge but something is just not right about the notch for the B string. It buzzes behind the bridge. Annoys me something fierce.
Another great video and I’m ready for the journey, if you don’t mine, where did you get this guitar and how do you shop For your projects. And would love to see a video of you on a mission to find your new project.
Yeah, most times there’s a piece of white protective material under the floating bridge for shipping purposes, but this is obviously not a new guitar. Just to make sure that no one thinks that it under any circumstances would be a good idea to put any kind of pads under a floating bridge. That would defeat the purpose of having the bridge in direct contact with the body and reduce the sustain as it was meant to be. Peace man. 👍🏽
I had a model similar to this. That removal of the entire electronics was awesome. I've never seen that before. Thanks. Hey, on the bracing, were you checking for cracks? I've seen some crooked bracing in acoustics, but they played well. Eric, I don't want to freak you out, but I spent 35 minutes looking over your shoulder while you worked on this.
New friend here Eric, I left a like as well and I must say that I admire your work! You know how to do things! See you around!
I know your going to have this Guitar shinning Eric awesome video brotha ROCK On Brotha 😎🤘👍
Thanks for the lesson. I’ve got this model, and this video is awesome!!
Glad to help.
The one complaint I here about the Joe Pass is 45mm nut. Most prefer the 43mm nut. I love mine but prefer the 43mm nut spacing best.
Where is your problem with 45mm nut?
Difficult F barre?
Beautiful guitar man. You will bring it up a huge notch still!

I get some pretty filthy guitars here too, mostly the fretboard, used and abused lol good work here man!
I all ways have guitar to fix. I have a rack of 7 right now.
Min. 23:38, the Fingerboard is obviously offset to the neckjoint ??

That was some fine decent camera work Eric, Although I think the guitar might have felt a little violated lol
That is really a nice looking Guitar
I use that tool all the time. Why my guitars tune up PERFECT EVERY TIME. My guitars sound better then some pro players. ILL BET ANYONE.
I bet your right to Zip

Try rapping some foam in and out of the strings. Behind the bridge. Looks funny. But it works great for live shows.

Why would there be pads under the bridge ? It’s the main contact point for string vibrations onto the body.
Its to protect the finish under the bridge.

You are messing with my brain by playing jazz tones and wearing a Megadeth shirt.
lol
I kinda like the tone I am getting off of it. Getting away from the distortion.
Eric C yeah I go back and forth tone-wise on the tracks I create. Sometimes you just need a change in tone to inspire something new.

I was checking for cracks on the braces and to see if anything was loose inside. Seems to be solid. Looking over my shoulder lol.
Thinking of buying one of these .....
Do you think that bridge was for a 12 string if it has more than one place for the strings?
no.. it would show marks on all the strings.
Eric C yeah I got to the part where you said it was just on some strings after I posted that.
I REALLY like that color on a Paul!
👍
hey bro this actually fire🔥🔥 lets support each other - I liked and subbed (1.82k)
Haha! Ponytail not included ✌😂
It's time to crank up the amp and play some Stranglehold lol
It's Nice
Good score Eric TFS
Hopefully not a feedback squeeler
Using the f word you lost credibility
Oh man. I'm Italian. The F word is part of our vocabulary.
Filthy as what?
