Hi. I have an Epiphone mb200 and would appreciate suggestions as to how I can best set it up. The only thing I've added so far is a Grover compensated bridge.

	Klondike Waldo says: 4/28/2012 3:58:17 AM Have you checked the action height ? Mine was too high as set from the factory, so I lowered it by shimming the neck, opening the angle some. I can provide more details on that if you need. I've also replaced the original Remo white head with a Rennaissance head and am using AMB cryo strings I'd try those things first. Look up XNAVY's (Jerry Rabun's )threads and my "Waldotone" blog formore possibilities.
