Satch setup (holy lowness batman)

I have to run my UV's action higher than I normally might because it has medium frets.

thing is, Joe uses medium frets too.

Very interesting info. I have always set my guitars up very low - but never quantified it. I have a very light touch - I play with eights and a very low action. The problem when others play my stuff is either the strings buzz like crazy or they break my strings. I don't have a problem with either. I'm now interested to try this method for setups and see how it comes out.

After bonding a bit with my JS, I think action is the least of Satch's concerns. I'm astounded that he hasn't made a switch to an AANJ. This square heel is a total throwback to the '90's.

Getting to the 22nd fret is a bitch. When I play my DC727 after the JS, it feels like the fret board is about 20 frets longer, not 2.

That said, it's pretty neat in an old-school sorta way. It does have an awesome sound though.

If youve ever met joe in person, he has alien hands. He cant be any taller than my ex (at 5'4") but his hands are fucking massive

Man that is LOOOOOW. I've never measured how must distance I have between the string and the neck, but for the most part I like things as low as I can get them.
