Hello again to all, best regards to everyone out there.
May I get some opinions regarding the photos I'm putting up please?
I'd previously posted concerning a bit of a 'dead spot' on my third fret,high E. Having changed the strings this improved my sound immensely. Subsequently this got me thinking, and of course looking more closely at the components that make the whole.
My guitar was once converted to a 'lefty', which may have some bearing on the pictures attached, but my queries are these;
1)Does the wood used for the bridge here look as it should ? (I got thinking about an ebony plus maple bridge,giving the strings a 'harder' wood to actually sit on). You can see other grooves, likely to be indicative of the bridge piece being switched around back to a 'right hander'.
2)I appreciate that the biscuit should be free of contact with anything but the cone (and of course the bridge)... but does the biscuit necessarily have to be 'dead central' when looking from above, i.e, does this have any bearing on the tonal quality ? . I hope you can see what I mean from the pictures provided.
Don't get me wrong, no big issues here...I'd just appreciate getting down to some brass tacks with you cone-heads and the like.
Much gratitude in advance,(and yes, I've probably gone over the top with the photos !),
Archie.
