Recommended Luthier to set up a Ric

[Guest MoJo]

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

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.

JayDee does everything, not just custom builds, depends how stacked with work he is for a turnaround time. Though I guarantee you'll leave his workshop with a bad case of GAS.

Can't afford GAS at the moment. Better give his workshop a wide berth lol

Ok, back pedal on my input here, just looked at a video on Rickresource on 4001 truss adjustment, the screwdriver as a prybar was enough , take it to a tech.

This place is a bit far to travel for you, but they are only 15 minutes west from J23 of the M1.

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.
