First of all, I'm glad Bill is sober! Second - his set up tips for
a jag are spot on. my AV Jag came with 1/8" shim ( at least), I
left 'em all in there, and have heavy 12-53 strings. No buzz. I
think especially with the Jags short scale, Heavy strings are the
way to go.
When I pulled the guitar apart, I found the date it was assembled
was 10/31/03 - Halloween, and the assembly guy drew a jack-o-
lantern on the neck pocket! How cool is that?! I'd have taken a
photo, but my digital camera wasn't around.
I got sniped on a D.D. album (summer surf) today, by $1! What a
jip!!!
Marty is right, crank that truss rod, don't be scared. I found it
very helpful to get a really straight ruler or straightedge that is
over 12" long, preferably metal. when you start a set up, make the
neck perfectly flat to start with. Looking at it with your eye
isn't accurate enough. I've never run into a neck that wasn't
fixable with less than a full turn of the rod.
I still love Thomastik Infeld Flats.... Also, Ivans tip on
Rotosound round wound strings was the greatest. THE BEST round
wound strings I have ever used. Thanks Ivan!
My Reissue Reverb tank is working flawlessly, and I kick it at
least twice a week for the effect. perhaps treating 'em bad is the
way to go.
Did I cover all of it Marty? Ha!

P.S. I got a copy of the Packards Pray for surf.... Pretty cool!
