Guitar Bridge Adjustments
My guitar sounds very bad, the new strings are not touching the frets, the neck is straight, the board needs?
Just bought this guitar in a garage sale, is a Squier electric, I wanted to buy a guitar that I messed up the raised bridge adjustments, as they go. I think that helped a little
If you raised the bridge and it helped, I assune that sounds bad because of Fret Buzz. You mean the strings do not touch the frets, while in home and you look at them, but they are hitting when you pluck the strings hard. So are the chains hitting a fret and making an unpleasant sound tinnitus. First check the nut! =============== Strings should not be loose enough to move the grooves around the nut, sometimes a nut they wear out and crack. If the nut is worn, you should replace it or the guitar will never sound right, and you will not be able to get it to perform a melody decent for more than a minute / Test ===== Ho d the ropes down the third fret with a capo. You should be able to slide a piece of paper with the chords in the first fret, or you should hear a tick when you touch the string on the first fret. This shows that the nut is high enough. Truss Rod ======== You seem very proud and neck straight. I'm assuming you did a truss rod adjustment, together with the adjustment of the bridge. I applaud your enthusiasm .. However, an arm of the guitar is not supposed gay, is supposed to have a slight concave curvature in it. This is called relief in the neck. The strings vibrate with greater amplitude in the middle , Then the ends. There should be a greater distance between the frets and strings in the middle of the strings, which is the 12th fret to tune the guitar properly: Fix ===== 1) Move the bridge (saddles on a squier) back to where they were .. 2) Tune the guitar, the best way possible. 3) Loosen the truss rod, about 1 / 8 of a time. The strings will pull the head forward. Adjustment should go flat, SO 4) Re-tune the guitar - very important, all you have to relate to a well-tuned guitar, in order to fix this, you must tune constantly, or none of the tests are arcurate. 5) Verify that the neck has a slight curve, with the apex at 12 fret. The distance between the "Top" of the 12th fret and the bottom of the bass string and must be between 2 / 16 "and 3 / 16". This is the capo on the first fret, to eliminate any varience due to the nut. 6) Make sure to keep tuning the guitar after each setting. If you do not keep re-tunimg it, you will wasting your time with the measurements., 7) When everything looks right, then remove the hood, each test sequence in all homes to be certain the strings are not in any frets buzzing. 
If only one string buzzing adjust the saddle, if several strings are buzzing, loosen the tensioner another 1 / 8 of a turn 9) If you also adjusted the pickups, then move them away from the strings, adjust them closer, while connected to the amplifier. Strike the strings. find the distance gives you the most output for the duration longerst. The sequences of small will be closer than the larger chains. Too close and you lose support and volume. The magnets buffer string. =================================
