HI, New to the forum here. I have a questions about neck relief on the Strat. I see how to videos on checking neck relief but not everryone is doing it in the same manner.
First, When I place the capo on the first fret should it be on top of the fret wire or behind it?
Second, Should I place my finger on the 17th fret where the neck meets the body or at the 22nd fret?
Also should my finger be behind the fret or placed on the fret wire?
I have been playing this guitar for a long time and have never liked the wait it felt. Hard to play so I decided to delve into it.
As of today, after spending all day yesterday and this morning messing with it, I am happy to say that now the guitar is very comfortable and easy to play.
I ordered a few tools to verify string height along the radius and check neck relief. They will arrive on Tuesday.
I learned how to set pickup height as well. The strings were eyeballed but I will confirm the individual saddle heights with the radius tool when it arrives.
The relief I believe is good but I would like to properly check it out.
Thanks for any information you can offer on neck relief.
Regards,
Rich
