Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

HELLO! I HAVE A 325V63.I HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS TO STAY IT IN TUNE.I TRY TO PUT A HEAVY STRINGS SET,0.12-0.54 AND IT'S BETTER,BUT NOW THE ACTION IS TOO HARD AND THE STRING'S HEIGHT IS CONSIDABLE.I TRY TO ADJUST THE NECK,BUT THEN,THE STRINGS BEGIN TO BUZZ.CAN ANYBODY TELL ME SOMETHING?
PD.SORRY, MY ENGLISH IS NOT VERY GOOD

Enrique. We will help. There are some who speak Spanish here and I am hoping that they will assist you as well.

Is the neck of your guitar straight with the .12 to .54 strings?

Enrique, usted puede necesitar ajustar el puente. Yo no pienso que desordenaría demasiado más con el cuello a menos que no sea correcto.

We can always use Altavista's Babelfish translation service (http://babelfish.altavista.com/). For example, this is what Stan just said, translated to English by Babelfish:

Enrique, you can need to fit the bridge. I do not think that she would disorder too much with the neck more unless he is not correct.

Ummm .... on second thought, maybe we should not use Babelfish!

Welcome Enrique! I am sure this will get sorted out in time and you will have a fantastic playing instrument. You have certainly come to the right place.

Gary....I just tried to use Babelfish... oh my God! I better do not write down here what the hell came out translating to Italian some of the messages written in the forum LOL

Hi!!
i would like to thanks all the people in the forum by their answers,but i don't understand very well.Buzfluhart say that i must adjust the bridge,but the bridge is too much height,and if i go down with it,then the strings buzz.do you know what i mean?
Me gustaria dar las gracias a todo el mundo del foro por su interes.Pero debido a mis problemas con el ingles creo que no lo acabo de entender.Buzfluhart dice que deberia de ajustar el puente en lugar del mastil.El problema es que si bajo el puente hasta una altura comoda para tocar,las cuerdas empiezan a trastear.Para que no trasteen debo subirlo bastante,con los problemas que ello acarrea.Creo que no es problema del mastil porque esta bastante derecho.En fin,de todas formas espero que haya alguien que hable español,porque sino....
I hope anybody could speak spanish,becausethe translator is not very good......

Enrique no ablo espanol..but you are from madrid which is a big city...try to bring your guitar to an expert luthier in town...you said you tried to adjust the neck...you better allow a professional luthier do that

Enrique, I have a friend from another forum who lives in Barcelona. I have sent him your email address and perhaps he will contact you. He is quite knowledgeable about Rickenbackers and he may be able to help you.

If only We could solve wars like this. You guys are great.

Dale is right. You guys are doing outstanding work. Lets hope Enrique is on his way to a satisfactory resolution. I have often wondered if a couple of graphics would provide a universal solution.
