STG mini- inevitable meddling

Yes, they had to go those vintage-type string trees. The replacements, as seen above, are the rounded version which made tuning more effective, an immediate benefit.

A dragon sticker I bought a few days ago, an in-between residence there as a reminder that there are only 2 pickups here. Along the way, the fretboard was re-moisturized as well.

Last but not least, a fresh set of strings; K-Garage's .010 - .046. This isn't my preferred string gauge but putting anything thinner in there was out of the question for a much shorter-scaled instrument. The action was set lower much to my preference, of course, & re-intonation was done as well.

fretboard re-moisturizing does not make you play better :-) but it helps maintain the life of the fretboard.

Any guitar workshop you can recommend to get our guitars re-inotation and have our fretboard moisturise?

if you want the job done on your instrument(s) quickly, look for BEEZ :-). click the link on left shoulder...

but i believe intonation & fretboard cleaning/ re-moisturizing are very user-friendly maintenance chores :-) if you are in my neighbourhood, i'd be glad to do it for you...
