My last two (and maybe last two?) were a factory-new J-45 and an almost unplayed 4-year-old HD-28.
The J-45 arrived on the truck in perfect tune, so the first thing I did is change the strings three months later. After a while I had Gryphon change the tuners to 21:1. Nothing else. All the HD-28 needed was a pretty substantial truss rod tweak. I watched amazed while the Gryphon tech turned one, then two, then a third quarter turn. Like I said, almost unplayed (and just a humble Standard guitar, largely ignored in an elite collection — lucky me). I bought a truss rod wrench and gave it one more quarter turn (the other way) after I changed to light strings. That’s it so far. I keep ’em clean and polished. So count me lucky. I could see asking Gryphon to take a fine tuning to the nut slots and saddles someday maybe. But no complaints for now.
