I cleaned my Ball and took some pictures

[Crimson Sunset]

Today I restrung my guitar. And while I was taking off the old strings I thought: "hey, this is a good moment to do a set-up on my guitar again.
So when all the rusty strings were taken off, I cleaned the fretboard and put the new strings on. Then I grabbed a screwdriver, a hex-"thing" and something to measure the action. After I got the action as close as I could get it to the measurements in the EBMM-FAQ, I gave the guitar-body a quick clean.

The set-up and cleaning were finished, so I was ready to play...

But why wouldn't I take some pictures first . I have already posted some pictures of my guitar a little over a year ago, when I first got it, but those pictures weren't actually too good. So now I tried making some better pics

Anyways, I saw this little spot with some flowers in the living-room, put my guitar infront of them, and took pictures !

Thanks.

I really like how the last picture turned out. The yellow-ish color on the fretboard coming from the light looks pretty cool

Looks really cool. You can see the radius of the neck too!

yes !


Though I don't really like playing on brandnew strings. Brandnew strings sound a little bit too harsh IMO and they feel a little bit "slippy". Especially when I try to bend (with new strings), my fingers sometimes slip off of the string.

But after having played on new strings for about an hour, they start to "feel" and sound better.
