Final Week

To do the final setup and intonation process on my guitar, we plugged the guitar into a tuner and either tightened or loosened the string to match the right note. Then after each string had the right note, we checked the intonation by playing at the 12th fret and checking if the note was still the same. If the note wasn’t the same we would adjust the bridge by moving the saddles up or down to make it so the notes matched up. The activity that meant the most to me was making the pie plate speakers because it was cool to see how speakers worked and how it was so easy to make them. Overall, this course was a really fun and cool opportunity because it’s not everyday you get to build a guitar and it was awesome to be able to do it as a class.
