Hey thanks all. @BanjoBen I can see the bow but I can’t really tell if it’s unusual.
Here is more accuracy about the tuning (i’ll indicate fret and +/- “cents” sharp/flat)… when you strike the string it’s always sharper and then goes flat so it’s hard to pinpoint these numbers accurately… but this is a rough idea of the patterns:
1st string: 0+0, 1+7, 2+10, 3+10, 4+8, 5+7, 6+7, 7+4, 8+4, 9+5, 10+2, 11+0, 12+0, 16-6, 17-7, 22-10
2nd string: roughly same as 1st
3rd string: 0+0, 1+9, 2+15, 3+17, 4+15, 5+17, 6+15, 7+15, 8+15, 9+12, 10+10, 11+10, 12+10, 16+6, 17+7, 22+3
4th string: 0+0, 1+10, 2+4, 3+4, 4+4, 5+2, 6+3, 7+3, 8+0, 9-3, 10-5, 11-4, 12-2, 16+5, 17+8, 22 (couldn’t read it)
5th string: 5+0, 6+12, 7+14, 8+12, 9+3, 10+2, 11+2, 12+2, 16+2, 17+2, 22-7
a 1-5 cent difference isn’t really that noticeable. But +10/12/15 is pretty noticeable
Anyway, for the most part strings 1-4 are pretty sharp from 1 thru 12. The third string is particularly bad as it’s sharp all the way up (that’s even with my bridge having a notch that is “further back” from the neck for the 3rd string). I’ve tried moving the bridge around quite a bit using the whole idea of “12th fret note compared to 12th fret harmonic note… getting them to match and having open string also in tune” and even doing that no matter what I do, that lower range is always pretty sharp.
String height:
Looks the same for each string to my eye.
Using the old calipers (I barely get to use these so very exciting! haha) (in mm/in)
1: 0.74/0.0295
5: 2.18/0.086
7: 2.28/0.09
12: 3.46/0.136
17: 3.98/0.157
22: 4.1/0.16
If I were to take it to get checked out like @Archie suggests, do you know a good person to take it to in Nashville @banjoben? Or maybe I’m just being too critical about it?
Thanks all.
