How to INCREASE guitar SUSTAIN - Tutorial

Описание: Tech Talk #6: how to increase, improve, boost sustain in bolt-on guitars by solving a construction flaw therefore assuring an extremely tight contact between neck and body. This works like a charm when the neck screws are slightly threaded into the body as well, which has to be avoided!

I have found this issue in more than 50% Fender guitars I have owned during the years (they are many), no matter they were made in USA, Mexico or Japan.
In this case we have a MIM Stratocaster Classic Series 60 in gorgeous Lake Placid Blue finish, that is suffering from this specific problem.

Here is a longer video with the same issue solved in another way:

This video shows what is suggested also by Callaham, where they drill the holes:
"Here is a quick mod that will increase sustain and frequency response. The holes for the neck screws in most Fender guitar bodies are too small. The screw should pass through these holes freely. Simply enlarge the holes. With properly sized holes in the body, the screws will pull the neck into the pocket with greater mating force.

Drill from the back side into the neck pocket. Be sure to measure your screw diameter. Drill your holes based on this measurement; the objective is a .010 clearance hole, meaning the diameter of the hole in the body should be .010 (10/1000 inches) wider in diameter than the screw. You'll likely use a #16 drill, but depending on your screws you may need up to a 3/16'' bit (4.76mm)."
