I only have one that got away, and I have the option to get it back. I think the new owner loves it as much as I did, so it will stay in his hands.Bless you.
Just subbed your channel you do good work,especially after I watched you put linseed oil on the fretboard and you fret polishing is excellent,Great channel!
Dude - amazing video. I learned alot! Would you be able to elaborate on how you squared the nut away? I'm thinking that my slots are too deep as well. Cheers!
I simply use a sanding block using 300 grit paper to remove some of the heighth of the nut. I sneak up on it until I get about 1/2 of each string protruding out of the top of the nut slots. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching. Be sure to subscribe please.
I'm 67 and never had a real Les Paul or ES-335 before until this year, and my first impression is: "wow, these two guitars are SO different". The Les Paul plays much easier, despite the same scale, the ES feels more like an acoustic guitar, a stiffer action with the same gauge strings, a wider spectrum perhaps, probably depends on the guitars. I assumed the 335 would be my preference, and I have a really nice one, but the Epiphone 59 reissue has me!
File the bridge saddle of the Low E if it’s popping out using a top wind on the tailpiece. Voila. A top wind is a state of mind. It’s like a Mohawk or a Harley. Is it necessary? No. And I won’t debate the value of it. But it feels right and life is short 😂 🤘
Marshall, I have a Nashville ES-335 and I can’t get one string to intonate, the saddle is all the way back. Can I remove a single saddle to reverse it or because of clips I’ve seen on other videos, do I need to remove the entire bridge? I just put new strings on and I’d hate to trash them to remove the bridge. If I must however I will. Thanks! Garry
@funnyharleyman I have had to reverse saddles on tune-o-matic bridges countless time. I would certainly try reversing the one saddle before doing anything else. An extra millimeter can make all the difference. I hope this helps, brother. Thanks for watching and your great question.
Hey Marshall. Just found your channel. I watched the Texas Specials install. I have them.in my strat parts caster. Awesome pups. I jammed along to the track while you were soldering. The TS cut through nicely...even good for metal...to a point..lol. ..
Thank you for watching, and subscribing Toney Davis. The Texas Specials were certainly an improvement to the Strat that received them. I try to include original compositions in most of my videos. Keep jamming along.
Great video.....why are 3 of the saddles turned around opposite to the other 3? And If I turn the neck pickup 180 degrees around would it give a more mellow sound? Or is that a fable?
The saddle direction does not matter. The three saddles that are in the opposing direction are that way so that the intonation of the instrument can be set perfectly. Swapping the direction will move a saddle either closer, or farther away from the twelfth fret on a tune-o-matic type bridge. The pickup direction is a subject of great debate. My answer is to simply tell you to try turning one 180 degrees to see what the result is. If you don't like the result just turn it back the way it was. It's typically not hard to do at all.
Thanks for watching Anthony Monaghan. Watch this for everything you need to know about a proper set up on a 335 shaped object. th-cam.com/video/FSwbU3w4Zho/w-d-xo.html
@@MarshallSetUps Thanks. Your video was the first to come up on the google search, that's why I watched it. If you gave a few measurements that you were taking, I would have found what I was looking for. You obviously know what you are doing, and the guitar looked and sounded great at the end. Cheers.

The other thing in my 71 years of life that I'm sorry I sold was my red 335 . Sold it in nineteen seventy eight.

Liked the setup (thanks), loved the playing!
Thanks for watching Larry.
I love those guitars. That's why I bought my Gretsch bass... It is as close as I could get.
Great video, thanks.
Did I miss it or did you skip the internation part
I haven't watched this video for a long time. Thank you for watching.

The reason for the top rap stop bar, is to deter post lean on the bridge.

are you jason newsted???
😂🤣
I prefer overlap with proper angle.
Thank you for watching Niko & Katie Dax.
Nice job showing us how you polish a guitar...as for 'a proper set up' you told me nothing.
