Correcting and playing, set up, dismantle, correct, tune up, play again a bit, think, disarm, sand here and there, string again, tune again, play a bit more

Only For those looking to reach me personally for all things related # bitcoin , π¨π« ππ¨π¬ππ«
I noted it a bit harsh still. Hard in its mechanics. The neck is thick by standard but could be a bit lower in its action still.
It's a fine edge, lower lower it starts buzzing a lot. High and it will hurt to play and will be an abandoned guitar and no one will play it.
Then I erased a lot of friction points in the headstock. Friction points make tuning difficult. Maybe you turn the peg around and it takes a while to reach tuning and to even the tension along the string. So, people with no patience always get a guitar out of tune. And another reason why it causes no pleasure to play and why these guitars end up in a dusty corner of the room.
So, a little grease in the cogs, a little graphite in the nut, and erase all additional friction points where the strings touch wood or headstock parts.
Also, I lowered a bit the action and pulled the compensation of the string length a little bit closer to perfect. I mean erased a milimiter in compensation because I heard the tuning a little bit off in that direction. That is another factor for poor tuning or difficulty in tuning.
The guitar is "lying" a bit so you have to fine tune it making a compensated temperament by ear so to not be howling out of tune in some chords.
Another reason why it ends up thrown away with the children's toys . 99% of people tune it with a phone app, so it might read green and perfect open string tuning. But when you play a chord there are discrepancies.
So a good compensation and calibration is key to make it easy.
Those things are only possible to calibrate if an artisan spends time playing, feeling and correcting. It takes a bunch of stringing and loosening strings... Patience and search
