For the love of God please someone get this darling man his own show. He’s just wonderful to watch and I always learn so much from him whenever he’s featured on TPS.
Yep, I agree, I suggest something like a luthier ASMR show. his voice paired with files, drills, metal, wood, chisel, sandpaper. It's not just an opportunity, it's almost a duty to make that show :D
"I want everything to sing." That is such an awesome way to think about guitar fixing. I totally understand why you'd want this man to work on your guitars simply based upon that quote alone.
We need to see him work his magic on a Gibson Les Paul as well. The fret polishing with steel wool & oil for the rosewood board was something new for me. Its a real pleasure listening to him & please Dan make this a regular segment on your channel maybe like "Tips from Jonny".
Just watched this again and learned even more. Jonny is a national treasure and so easy to listen to with his quiet but authoritative delivery. Just Brilliant.
I know I am late to this video but this video reminds me so much of my grandfather and my father. The attention paid to the most minute detail is so amazing. Thank you for all the videos!
Brilliant, elegant and revealing. This man is The Guitar Whisperer. Please continue to divulge his secrets, I beg of you. Jonny Kinkead is my spirit animal.
So I have watched the "Re-fret" video (all of it) and now this one, and I must say that I could listen to Johnny teach me about how guitars work all day long. So cool. So much information and such a depth of knowledge. I would welcome any and all future Johnny videos. Thanks fellas!
The thing about great luthiers and repair people is that cumulative knowledge of tricks, tips and techniques from a lifetime of setting up instruments - priceless in many ways. I love looking at all the bits and bobs in that shop, everything is really packed in there! Great Video, keep up the good works.
This Master Luthier is the kind of guy that after he sets up your instrument to perfection and pay him, you simply want to kiss and hug for bringing your guitar back to life!! Money isn't everything and people like him deserve more than that... More money & Gratitude. And TPS, Here is an idea... We need you to TPS him on his own T-Shirt and a gig bag with his name on it for the world to see. Thanks Dan and deeply grateful to Jonny Kinkead for sharing! Kudos J.K.
I wish Sir Jon could work on all of my guitars. Unfortunately, I would have to ship them all from the USA. Wonderful craftsman and very informative. Thanks to Dan and Jonny
Not only a wealth of knowledge and experience through what must be years (I'm sure I heard Dan say he's made 500ish guitars BY HAND), but also that genius streak of being able to express what, at times can be quite complex concepts, in language that is easy to follow & understand. Thank you, Dan for introducing us to this guy, and yes, like others have said, get him on the show more (maybe a weekly or monthly hour where he can show us how.... well, everything really 😃!)
I want to play this video on repeat so that I can absorb all of its genuine knowledge, talent and skill into my being. Absolutely fantastic work! TPS has to be one of the best channels on the tube.
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you to Jonny for sharing his knowledge, and thanks to TPS for producing and sharing this bit of RUclips treasure. Every guitar player should watch this multiple times.
I also enjoy the dialogue between the two of you, the fact that you ask questions that we all have and the fact that Johnny knows when to say he does not have a definitive answer but must experiment.
Daniel Steinhardt I genuinely don't think I've heard you play better than that little section at the end of this vid. Just beautiful note choice and feel man!! Had moments of Joey Landreth about it (obviously sans slide). The inspiration of a beautifully set up guitar.
Dan and Mick I love your show. Thanks so much for this video with Jonny Kinkead. What a gentleman and a treasure of knowledge. This episode is a true diamond in the gemstones of That Pedal Show!
Thank you for doing the two videos and Q & A with Jonny. This has increased my knowledge of the setup and refretting process 10,000%. It also demonstrates the importance of finding and supporting a good, local luthier. Keep up the good work. Cheers.
What I love about shadowing a master (thats exactly what this is) is you get to cover all three levels of knowledge. The three level of knowledge: what we know, what we don't know, and what we don't know we don't know.
Thanks so much for this video. It gave me the courage to tackle the set-up on an inexpensive guitar I keep in my office. Mission accomplished, and it now plays 1,000 times better! You know, a good set-up can be just as inspirational as good tone!
So glad Jonny decided to do these videos. I'm learning a lot, and though I don't do much work on guitars myself, the occasional adjustment I do need to do will be more informed, and I'll be able to communicate with guitar techs and luthiers a bit more intelligently. Thank you!
YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! I suspect that there are a lot of TPS fans like me who work on their own instruments and want to learn more, more, and more. I'm to the point of having done about 10 refrets at this point, and I'm almost not terrible. Every little scrap of info from someone like this is super valuable to us repair nerds. THANK YOU and please keep this series going!
Can we please have Jonny as a regular on your show. His insight into setting up and working on a guitar is simply amazing! i guess what he does not know about guitars could be written on the back of a postage stamp with a big thick marker.
Once again I am astounded at the attention to detail and the conscientious way in which Mr. Jonny handles his business. He's an astounding teacher and extremely interesting. Thank you guys for sharing some more of his work with us.
Phenomenal episode, Dan and Jonny. What an informative hour! Jonny and Dan: you're great teachers. I really appreciate Dan's thoughtful questions, and Jonny's patient, well-reasoned, sagacious answers. What a masterclass. Keep up the good work.
The info at 57:10 is gold. That little blip. I guess that’s one way of saying it. My first guitars weee not not locking so when you used the trem a bit, that little quick jerk actually works great for getting the guitar back to tune or pitch.
Thanks for the Vlog Dan and for sharing your knowledge Jon Kinkead. I have Jon's book on building your own acoustic guitar (beautiful book, gorgeous guitars!). In my dreams I would have a luthier/teacher like you.
Mr. Kinkead, you remind me of my grandfather who I miss dearly. Your patience, depth of knowledge, attention to detail, and teachers heart are a treasure as well as an example of the best of the human spirit. My granddad Luther Wallis and you sir are of a class of few. Thank you for a wonderful hour. All the best to you sir.
Dan, as I told you at Namm in Anaheim, I love watching these videos with Johnny as I learn so much, but it also puts me in a very relaxed state. Keep doing them, and I like the fact that you and Mick submit your own instruments for Johnny‘s work.
This is like that scene from toy story 2 where Woody's arm is fixed. This man is fixing my soul as well as the guitar. ASMR for guitarrists at its best.
I hope this Good man has a apprentice…so that his amazing skill lives on. New to Stratocasters but This is one on my list, Thank You for making this video. The Stratocaster sounds perfect 👌🏽
He used to teach guitar building. I have a tele that was made by one of his students at the Kingsdown workshop maybe 30 years ago. I liked the guitar so much I married his sister (the student's not Jonny Ks'.).
Hi Guys, I see your videos for about three years now. They are always interesting. The downside is, that I became a poor man. But who cares? Now I own a great pedalboard and bought several new guitars. So thank you guys, for your effort and your passion. I love the video series with Jonny. It's not only about his voice. His sense for the details is incredible and I love it. If these videos would have come out 20 years earlier, I am sure that I would build guitars today. His descriptions are really inspiring and interesting. Maybe we see something more of him in the future. So thanks to Jonny for sharing his knowledge with us. To suggest a new topic: a series about acoustic guitars could be quite interesting. I guess, there are some different things to take care of. Greetings from Germany
I love this man with my whole heart. What a master of his craft. His knowledge is arresting and kept my attention for the full hour. I love how varied your videos are and how the entire breadth of what it means to be a guitar enthusiast is represented on your channel. You guys are my favorite show on any medium. Now, let’s get some Jazzmaster and Jaguar coverage. 😉
Dan, thanks so much for posting this! I could listen to Jonny talk shop about guitars all day! Super informative since I’m learning to set up my own guitars.
Probably the most comprehensive video on the entire internet for a Strat setup, the link to this should be embedded in a QR code inside every fender case.
Great episode and Jonny is obviously a master. One reason he might prefer to hear the 19th fret harmonic a fraction sharper than the fretted note is because the natural harmonic there is actually sharper than the fretted note. Guitars are equal temperament instruments so natural harmonics and fretted notes should only be the same at the octave and unison points e.g. open, 12th and 5th fret harmonics. The other harmonics wont match and the 7th and 19th fret harmonics will always be a little sharp compared to the frets.
I don't know what that was that you played towards the end but it was probably the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Also I can listen to Jonny talk all day and never get tired of it. Great video!
Even though I know I am very familiar with everything he is discussing and going over. It is still great to watch. A good refresher. Thank you Dan and thank you Johnny.
I'm sure everybody else has said this too: but Dan's playing here was lovely - on a Strat - and yup, NO PEDALS :) Top class show, top class episode, top class playing. Obviously Jonny is now officially a national treasure, for the nation of guitar-heads that is. Props to all involved.
Love this guy! Amazing teacher! Every Luthier I've ever had, I've spent hours dropping off and picking up my guitars. Listening to all the explanations and watching them draw diagrams and sketches of what they've done. I love it! What a talent. Engineers and Luthiers are the reason stars! ❤
What a lovely, informative, soothing vlog. Jonny K is a master, and yet I feel better able to take on everyday adjustments from watching him rather than more intimidated. Brilliant fellow. Brilliant fellow to Dan too. ❤️
I've been slowly learning how to do my own setups for awhile now and I've learned a ton from watching these videos with Jonny! I'd love to see more with him!
MORE of this sort of thing please!! And if Jonny doesn't mind I'd like to set up an easy chair in the corner of his shop and just sit there all day drinking coffee and watching him work. LoL
Absolutely FANTASTIC! So much good information and Jonny is natural and funny. Plus, Dan you are one of the tastiest players I know, luv’ ya tone and your way of thinking guitar. Thanks a lot and cheers mate!
mr Kinkead is without doubt the epitome of cool ! effortlessly, (tho he`d probably just smile at that) , bless him. inspiring to see the skill he imparts to every little detail, an absolute pleasure to watch .thanks for sharing it dan, enjoyed every second of this,.
This is just sooooo great to watch. So inspirational and relaxing meditation. Believe it or not, but sitting here and watching makes me wonder about life and what it means to be alive and happy :-) And you Dan - you are just so calm, curious and enthusiastic and great to “interview” and get the best out of the people you are with. Ommmmmmmmmm
Thanks, Dan. Extremely helpful to all players. It suddenly struck me, Dan, that you think and visualize at the molecular level, where electrons live. Ed is at the microscopic level where scratches and imperfections live, just out of plain sight. Everyone should grab a magnifying visor as Ed has. (they are inexpensive) You'll be amazed at the machine scratches left on at the factory. Think about the cost increase for the hand-work required to offer a perfected guitar. A magnified look at frets and fretboard for affordable guitar is eye opening. With great faith and confidence, I leave all my guitars in the hands of my friend, Larry Cragg (please look him up) first discussing only the string gauge for each string, and he does his magic, right down to his own pegs on the acoustics. It all makes a cumulative and dramatic difference. Larry has changed my life. Every player will benefit from a proper and detailed setup. The difference between off the shelf and a proper setup is remarkable. (p.s. Nice Curt Mangans...)
Phenomenal Dan. I just bought a EOB yesterday and this was tremendously helpful for knowing where to start when it arrives in a few days. And you posted this on my birthday! Rarely are stock Fenders and Gibson's "ready-to-play" anyway from the factory but this was more specialized for this axe. A+++ Cheers!!
This show is an always a great education, and FairPlay to Johnny! Great addition to the channel, he is such a fountain of knowledge and such a relaxing character too! Thank you lads!
Dan,What a pleasure to watch you playing and loosing your self in this guitar!!! Nice chords! And this clean sound pretty puristic but really musical. Thanks
Hi Dan, What an amazing Video, watching and listening to a Master Luthier. The Smallest adjustment can make a Huge difference! Thank you for sharing your experience, just Brilliant, Love the Strat Dan! 👍👍👍. Take care Mate. Melbourne, Australia
I just got an EOB Strat, and will be getting it set up like this! Possibly change the neck for a professional II maple neck. But, Wow! I can't believe how much better it played after Jonny set yours up
This is such an informative video. Mr. Kinkead explains things so clearly and concisely he makes it easy to understand what he's doing and why. I've been playing for over thirty years and I've learned a great deal from the two videos he's appeared in. I'm so impressed by the depth of his knowledge and his willingness to share it with us all.
Having stumbled through a few electric setups myself (with mixed-to-poor results), this video was hugely enlightening. I only hope I can find a local luthier with half the sense / experience / chops to undo the messes I've made.

He has such a soothing voice and pleasant disposition ...
@@scot-combs he's like the Bob Ross of guitars
Yep, I agree, I suggest something like a luthier ASMR show. his voice paired with files, drills, metal, wood, chisel, sandpaper. It's not just an opportunity, it's almost a duty to make that show :D
@@jessebell03 Right?! "Now let's just put a happy little string tree right .... here."
I agree! This man needs his own show. His way of explaining things is unparalleled.
"I want everything to sing." That is such an awesome way to think about guitar fixing. I totally understand why you'd want this man to work on your guitars simply based upon that quote alone.
This guy is a great teacher.
Yes!!! Now I want to go there my self! :)
I agree ,great teaching vibe
Agreed!JJ
Johnny Kinkead is literally a national treasure on guitar expertise.
What a gem of a man. I hope he has an apprentice to carry on his legacy of knowledge into the future.
if he doesn't, I volunteer!
He really is 👍
Johnny has turned into a proper star. Night and day from the first VLOG. You should do a "Johnny's tip" once a month.
“The more gubbins you put on a guitar ...” such a gentle burn from a top chap. More of this!
Love the setups. More Jonny in the future!
But I had to laugh at 1:33 at “Something sounds like something’s doing something.” LOL. New TPS t-shirt?
I'll buy it
Maybe some TPS branded nut sauce?
My favorite was “Ears are just as good as machines.” 😂
My favorite was “Ears are just as good as machines.” 😂
My favorite was “Ears are just as good as machines.” 😂
This man is a national treasure.
I also approve of the 'is it time for elevenses now?' mug... always!!
On intonation.. "You just as well do it by ear". What an absolutely wonderful man, I sat glued the whole episode..
What a treasure! Jonny is such a gentle and humble man. Thanks, Dan for introducing us to him.
What a fabulous chap he is.
We need to see him work his magic on a Gibson Les Paul as well. The fret polishing with steel wool & oil for the rosewood board was something new for me. Its a real pleasure listening to him & please Dan make this a regular segment on your channel maybe like "Tips from Jonny".
I'm a bit away from Bristol but I'd drive down and drop off the guitar. I've just bought a Gibson LP that needs a set up.
not even he can save a gibson ;-)
Just watched this again and learned even more. Jonny is a national treasure and so easy to listen to with his quiet but authoritative delivery. Just Brilliant.
I know I am late to this video but this video reminds me so much of my grandfather and my father. The attention paid to the most minute detail is so amazing. Thank you for all the videos!

Lovin’ this cat. Nothing like someone who is totally into his or craft. A real pleasure watching, listening and learning. Great job👍

When do we get to see a vid on Jonny building some acoustics?
I came back to watch this after the acoustic build vlog. Could watch this all day long!
This is like a Bob Ross of guitar maintenance video and I'd like a series of this please and thank you
Jonny is such a lovely bloke, fortunate enough to have had a couple of guitars built by him and it’s such a pleasure to spend time with him.
See, you'd think this would bore a three-year-old boy. But after it he said "more guitar man daddy!" And I totally agree!
I want to play this video on repeat so that I can absorb all of its genuine knowledge, talent and skill into my being. Absolutely fantastic work! TPS has to be one of the best channels on the tube.
I absolutely love watching this Gentleman show and explain his craft
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you to Jonny for sharing his knowledge, and thanks to TPS for producing and sharing this bit of RUclips treasure. Every guitar player should watch this multiple times.
I also enjoy the dialogue between the two of you, the fact that you ask questions that we all have and the fact that Johnny knows when to say he does not have a definitive answer but must experiment.
Some of my favorite playing from Dan ever! Beautiful chords and melody accentuated by the sustainer!
I thought that too. Mick here. Amazing playing!
Dan, seriously, this strat suits you. This is the best playing from you that I heard since long! Nice vid! Keep them coming
I have the same Strat and it is seriously an inspiration machine- there's just something truly magical about it
Daniel Steinhardt I genuinely don't think I've heard you play better than that little section at the end of this vid. Just beautiful note choice and feel man!! Had moments of Joey Landreth about it (obviously sans slide). The inspiration of a beautifully set up guitar.
Ah, that’s very kind, thanks Neuk :)
I'm glad the Strat is set up properly and we might get more Daniel Stratocaster action in the future ;)
Thought exactly the same thing. Beautiful.
Dan and Mick I love your show. Thanks so much for this video with Jonny Kinkead. What a gentleman and a treasure of knowledge. This episode is a true diamond in the gemstones of That Pedal Show!
Not only is this guy extremely talented but he seems like the nicest guy. I could watch and listen to him endlessly 👍
Thank you for doing the two videos and Q & A with Jonny. This has increased my knowledge of the setup and refretting process 10,000%. It also demonstrates the importance of finding and supporting a good, local luthier. Keep up the good work. Cheers.
What I love about shadowing a master (thats exactly what this is) is you get to cover all three levels of knowledge.
The three level of knowledge: what we know, what we don't know, and what we don't know we don't know.
Jonny episodes have become my absolute favorites!
Paul Camus ditto just brilliant
Love Love Love ,This luthier he does need his own show. love to spend the day just hanging in his wonderful shop
Thanks so much for this video. It gave me the courage to tackle the set-up on an inexpensive guitar I keep in my office. Mission accomplished, and it now plays 1,000 times better! You know, a good set-up can be just as inspirational as good tone!
It’s the good set up that facilitates good tone :)
Best layman's explanation of how a truss rod works I've ever seen. Well done, Jonny!
as i get older i appreciate more and more someone teaching me something especially about guitars thanks very much
That's some mighty fine pickin' and a-strummin' at the end there Mr Steinhart.
Cheers mate :)
Took me decades to learn the information in this one hour video. Wow, what a great show
So glad Jonny decided to do these videos. I'm learning a lot, and though I don't do much work on guitars myself, the occasional adjustment I do need to do will be more informed, and I'll be able to communicate with guitar techs and luthiers a bit more intelligently. Thank you!
That's one of the most informative and nice to watch episodes on RUclips I have seen in a long time! Thanks your sirs.
YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! I suspect that there are a lot of TPS fans like me who work on their own instruments and want to learn more, more, and more. I'm to the point of having done about 10 refrets at this point, and I'm almost not terrible. Every little scrap of info from someone like this is super valuable to us repair nerds. THANK YOU and please keep this series going!
The nut slot height advice alone in this video is something I've never seen before and invaluable.
Can we please have Jonny as a regular on your show. His insight into setting up and working on a guitar is simply amazing! i guess what he does not know about guitars could be written on the back of a postage stamp with a big thick marker.
Once again I am astounded at the attention to detail and the conscientious way in which Mr. Jonny handles his business. He's an astounding teacher and extremely interesting. Thank you guys for sharing some more of his work with us.

Phenomenal episode, Dan and Jonny. What an informative hour! Jonny and Dan: you're great teachers. I really appreciate Dan's thoughtful questions, and Jonny's patient, well-reasoned, sagacious answers. What a masterclass. Keep up the good work.

Man, Dan’s playing at the end is magnificent. All those extended chords sound so good, such a melodic player. Simply awesome.
Ah, cheers Matt, that’s very kind :)
I am not sure how anyone can give a thumbs down...these episodes with Jonny are fantastic and he should have his own channel.
What a treasure that man is! Please have him on again. 👏👏👏👏 ❤️
Thanks for the Vlog Dan and for sharing your knowledge Jon Kinkead. I have Jon's book on building your own acoustic guitar (beautiful book, gorgeous guitars!). In my dreams I would have a luthier/teacher like you.
What a pleasure to watch Johnny work, and he explains everything in such great detail too!
Jonny is amazing a wonderful and wise craftsman I learned a lot from this video.
Mr. Kinkead, you remind me of my grandfather who I miss dearly.

He used to teach guitar building. I have a tele that was made by one of his students at the Kingsdown workshop maybe 30 years ago. I liked the guitar so much I married his sister (the student's not Jonny Ks'.).
That's a guitar builders setup masterclass. One of the most enjoyable videos I watched in the past years. Cheers!

Thanks I didn't even pay attention to this part
You don't happen to be a piano tuner as well do you? I thought it was only us few who cared about inharmonicity!
I don't know what that was that you played towards the end but it was probably the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Also I can listen to Jonny talk all day and never get tired of it. Great video!

MORE of this sort of thing please!! And if Jonny doesn't mind I'd like to set up an easy chair in the corner of his shop and just sit there all day drinking coffee and watching him work. LoL
Absolutely FANTASTIC! So much good information and Jonny is natural and funny. Plus, Dan you are one of the tastiest players I know, luv’ ya tone and your way of thinking guitar. Thanks a lot and cheers mate!

(tho he`d probably just smile at that) , bless him. inspiring to see
the skill he imparts to every little detail, an absolute pleasure to

I am guessing that Paul Reed Smith’s head would explode at Johnny Kinkead’s approach to intonation.
This is just sooooo great to watch. So inspirational and relaxing meditation. Believe it or not, but sitting here and watching makes me wonder about life and what it means to be alive and happy :-) And you Dan - you are just so calm, curious and enthusiastic and great to “interview” and get the best out of the people you are with. Ommmmmmmmmm
I learn so much from TPS! Thank you so much Dan and Mick! Keep up the good work.

Take care Mate.

I just got an EOB Strat, and will be getting it set up like this! Possibly change the neck for a professional II maple neck. But, Wow! I can't believe how much better it played after Jonny set yours up
This is such an informative video. Mr. Kinkead explains things so clearly and concisely he makes it easy to understand what he's doing and why. I've been playing for over thirty years and I've learned a great deal from the two videos he's appeared in. I'm so impressed by the depth of his knowledge and his willingness to share it with us all.
This channel has some crazy informative videos! Thank you for bringing this type of content when I just want to know more about my instrument
Having stumbled through a few electric setups myself (with mixed-to-poor results), this video was hugely enlightening. I only hope I can find a local luthier with half the sense / experience / chops to undo the messes I've made.
Agree on own show! Educational and informative - presented in a clear and engaging way! Thank you both for doing this!
