Guest MoJo Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I've always done my own setups in the past, but I'm a little nervous about having a go on my new Ric with it's fragile double truss rods in case I end up with something resembling the Corkscrew at Alton Towers or end up snapping something off. Can anyone recommend someone in the west midland area that I could entrust this work to? The nut needs a little work too (slots not deep enough) Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS73 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I would do a search on the net, I'm sure there is a step by step explanation somewhere and the 4003 is a lot easier than the 4001 to adjust. I have always done my own work on my 4001's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I guarantee you'll leave his workshop with a bad case of GAS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len_derby Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 This place is a bit far to travel for you, but they are only 15 minutes west from J23 of the M1. [url="http://www.leicestershire-luthier.co.uk/index.html"]http://www.leicestershire-luthier.co.uk/index.html[/url] They do my Fenders. Very well too. I know the owner, Nigel, has Ric experience because I've seen them in his workshop and spoke to him about them. Might be worth dropping them an email.
