    It’s more the bottom that seems to be bowing. 1-3 are good and then starting at fret 4 starts getting higher and 5 is really high and gets worse going down. I can’t imagine there would be any delam going on as this guitar is so new. Maybe I over exaggerated how bad it’s bowing but compared to what it was at after the first setup it’s bad

    Sounds like you are talking about the action on the neck...but what is the guitar top doing? Bowing at the bridge? Neck?

    I was thinking also that I may need to sand down the saddle a little bit to help lower the action. The neck has a slight U-shape bow in the neck. I’ll try and snap a pic

    Can’t get a picture it’s too hard to get the angle to show. The neck is supposed to have a slight bow though, right? Maybe my saddle is just too high?

    It’s the acoustic. The 339 is playing wonderfully still

    Very slowly figuring out the looping pedal and how to get them to flow nicely. Unfortunately I still suck at playing :rofl:

    Anyone got some easy song recommendations to put together on the loop pedal?

    Surf pearl is one of those colors that, once you see it in person, the GAS for one becomes huge! Love it. I can’t believe I don’t have one yet!

    My kiddo has a Loog Pro Electric. It's tons of fun to play around with. We swapped out the stock flimsy strings. I contacted a string manufacturer who put together some 3-string sets for us that do well 1) for kid's hands 2) for this scale, and 3) give the guitar some better tone. The kid has really taken to the guitar. It's clearly an entry-level instrument and the electric side is not top-notch. The volume pot is coming loose and I am considering swapping it out for a stacked volume/tone pot, giving kiddo some added control over their sound.
    Question: Has anyone here swapped out to a stacked pot? Any recommended resource for this? I've modded my guitars in the past, repaired old pedals and built a tube combo from a kit, so it won't be technically tough for me as I have the tools. Always open to advise from those more experienced. Thanks!
