An old friend made its way back into the shop today —
#123 Undercrown 6-String Cigar Box Guitar.
The owner mentioned it had developed a little string buzz. After checking it over, I found the high E saddle screws on the hardtail bridge had slowly worked themselves loose from good old-fashioned playing time.
Easy fix.
A touch of clear fingernail polish on the threads to act as a mild thread locker should keep everything where it belongs without making future adjustments difficult.
While it’s on the bench, it will also be getting:
• fret level and redress
• nut adjustment to fine tune the action
• fresh cleanup and conditioning
• a little Lumberjack Lard treatment
• and a fresh set of strings
Always good seeing one of these guitars come back with some honest wear from being played instead of hanging untouched on a wall.
