Will Ray setups

Sun Jan 02, 2022 2:26 pm

Howdy all, it's been a while since I last posted. Happy New year everyone.

I currently own a few G&L guitars. I ordered a brand new G&L Will Ray in 2013? Somewhere around there. I ordered from a mom and pop place so they would get a good sale. I asked him, to ask G&L if they could set it up to the exact specs that Will Ray uses. He did ask, and I am pretty sure it was the standard setup.

Will Ray does his own setup anyway. So, does anyone know where I could find his setup specs? I am a huge fan, and would love to set mine up to his exact specs. I might hate it and change it back after a week. But I would love to have the neck relief, action height, PU height, ect, dialed in just like the man,
Thanks for your time and enjoy the new year!

Thanks, I had found those and they were helpful. But boy I would love to know how he sets his rod and his action. I would love to know the exact pu height, nut height, ect, ect as well. But if I had to boil it down to a minimum, I would be happy with the action height more than anything. It would be so cool to have my Will Ray setup just like his, even if I wound up changing it down the road. I just wanna feel like I am playing his guitar for a while
