Please share your guitar model and year (e.g., 2021 Player Telecaster), string gauge, tuning, current action at the 12th fret, neck relief measurement, and any recent changes (new strings, bridge or pickup swap). Clear photos of the bridge, nut, and neck relief readouts help us diagnose quickly.
Yes. Tell us your playing style (fingerstyle, pick, hybrid), tuning, and preferred feel (slinky vs firm). We can recommend gauges and suggest small setup adjustments to keep feel consistent when changing string type. See Telecaster String Gauge Guide and Jaguar String Gauge Guide.
We can provide guidance on common Telecaster, Stratocaster, Jaguar, and Jazzmaster wiring layouts, switching options, and troubleshooting basics (cold joints, bad grounds, pot values). For complex repairs, we’ll point you to qualified techs.
