Seagull S6 Quantum I [4.9 lbs] :: setup

July 18, 2016

A Canadian built Seagull acoustic in for some tweaks. After straightening the neck, the saddle had to be shimmed up to improve the action. There is an undersaddle pickup so any modifications to the saddle require the consistent string-to-string output be verified and corrected if necessary.

Replace pickups :: 1994 Godin Multiac Nylon ERG90VEG15 NA [6.1 lbs]

May 25, 2016

A 1994 Godin Multiac nylon string guitar in the shop for issues with amplified string-to-string balance from the pickups. The pickups are six individual saddles that are set into the bridge's saddle slot. I ordered a new set of pickups and swapped each one out for a new one as each pickup's output in the set is calibrated. Check the video below for the pickup swap.
