new nut, set-up, janglebox = heaven

Post by coreyman97 »

I had my luthier cut a nut with wider string spacing for my 370/12 and I cannot believe how much of a difference it made. It's like playing a different guitar. With a setup and janglebox, ahhhhhhh!

Corey,

I'm glad you're happy with the mod to your 370/12. As it happens, I'm having just the opposite done to my 360/12: I prefer more space between each low course and high octave string, and somewhat less space between pairs. Whatever your preference, a Janglebox makes a major tone difference. No other compressor even comes close, and I never play either of my 12'ers without one! :D

You might have an interest in this thread I posted a little while ago:

Please send us some photos of your modded 370/12! 8)

Robert-
I read all the postings in your thread as I was researching what everyone was saying about modding the nut. Great info there. Good luck with your mod. Here are photos (from an earlier thread):
