This helped me set up my string action on a guitar I've had for 17 years, and I just now started trying to learn it. And this and the rest of the series has been hugely helpful for setting up my standard tele. Good stuff ^__^
Thank you very much for your kind words! I'm always happy if the videos help. In fact, it took me a similar amount of time to figure out how to set up my guitar. ^_~
Thank you so much for this vid. I got a really good deal on a player series Fender Tele while I was in Poland. While I was in Poland the action was perfect but some how during the flight back the string action got super high.
Thank you soooooo much!! I just finished building and painting my first Harley Benton tele kit. These squire tele videos were the last piece of the puzzle. Thank you!!! Oh and....you are super cute. The cherry on top of good information.
You very welcome and thanks for your kind words! :D I had trouble getting my hands on a suitable tool before I came up with the idea of making one. I'm happy to hear that it did the job for you, too! ;)
Thank you so much!!! I have the same telecaster as you do and your video helped me out tremendously! Liked and Subscribed! Aloha and Happy New Year from Hawaii!!
Concise and clear! Great explanation of action set up, but I laughed out loud when you said tune in next week to find out how to correct the intonation. ( ie play your out of tune guitar for a week LOL )
Really good video! I personally appreciated the tip that some buzz you can hear when strummed, but not through an amp. So test it with an amp. I was in that exact spot. Great advice, thanks.
Thank you very much!! xD This was a game changer for me, too when I found out. I have an Epiphone SG which has a buzzing lower e string when played acoustically and I was always worried about that until I found out that it's not really audible when I plug the guitar into an amp. ;)
Good tutorial. By putting a capo on de first fret you take the nut out of the equation. This works if the nut is perfectly cut but it will always be a fraction higher then the first fret. Keep that in mind. I always double check my action before and after I worked on the nut.
This was super helpful and well explained. Thank you! Btw, at 1:12 when you say “gauge” you pronounce it exactly as it _should_ be said, but that is not how we native speakers say it. The way we say it, it rhymes with “cage”. Englisch hat Regeln, aber wir können sie anscheinend nicht befolgen 😅
Thank you! I've improved on that. :) It's really counter intuitive for us from non english speaking countries. Deutsch ist aber noch viel schwieriger. ;)
After about 18 years, I've finally bought proper tools (from Music Nomad) to setup my own guitar haha! Though, higher quality tools are not cheap, so having an alternative like this to setup your own is something beginners with limited cash would appreciate! I know I would when I was just learning during my teens! Such a clever solution! Good job, Rina! Also, I saw your channel update posted 5 months ago, any updates on when we can expect new videos? :)
Thank you so much for your kind words! Music Nomad would be my go to brand, too but they're difficult to buy in europe. And about the videos… yeah, it's been way longer than I'd have thought! Moving and then putting everything together in the new flat (especially the kitchen) took forever and left me so exhausted that I didn't have the energy for anything else at all. But, a new video is in cutting stage at the moment and it feels so good to come back! FINALLY! :D
@@Bandforge oh, tell me about it! I live in Australia myself, so some guitar related stuff are either hard to get or way too expensive over here, even worse if both haha! Anyway, take your time and don't stress yourself too much, we're excited for your new videos but we can wait! If there's anything that covid has taught us- being more patient 😂 Cheers! -A
@@AU-cs6er Oh, I can imagine! :D At least you have pitbullguitars close by. I really want to get my hands on one of their kits but I'll finish my other mods first. Btw, here's my brand new video! ;) ruclips.net/video/7O2w2P5Fcbg/видео.html Finally back! :D
I just came upon this but your website is out of service and would love to get that gauge printed, any other way I can get it? (also great vid, super well explained! Thank you!!)
Hi Rina, Thanks so much for these videos! It helps me a lot! I just wanted to download the free template, but it doesn't work, and even I couldn't register for your website. Is there any way to get it? Thanks in advance! Viktor
I'm desperatly in need for that template. Unfortunally your site is a long time now under construction. Is there another way to get that template for free, Best regards, Jim
@@Bandforge at the very very beginning at 2 seconds Rina you put the 2 fingers up I find it funny in a nice way, the series of setups have been very informative Cheers 🙂

@@Bandforge Heh, that gives me hope for learning how to... learn the guitar as well. Love the tele, and have a nice day!
Best tutorial for my squire tele. Thanks Nina
Thanks!! :D

The Player Tele is really nice! I hope that you enjoy it a lot after the setup! :)

Thank you, Rina, your videos and tool (gauge ruler) helped me to set up my new tele made from a kit with some upgraded rig! Happy with the tones ;)
Thanks for your kind words! :)
Very clear, just bought a telecaster type guitar cheap and planning to do it up. Best video. Printed out the measurement tool . Thanks very much
You very welcome and thanks for your kind words! :D I had trouble getting my hands on a suitable tool before I came up with the idea of making one. I'm happy to hear that it did the job for you, too! ;)
Thank you so much! I was looking for a complete tutorial to adjust my 98' Tele and you explained it flawlesly. You deserve far more subscribers :) .
Thank you so much for your kind words! xD
Thank you so much!!!

You're very welcome! :)
thanks for not telling me what size allen key i need haha. that would be helpful

That’s a pretty tele there 😍
Thank you!! I really like it, too! :)

Simply amazing content. this was my first guitar and Ill be learning how to do every adjustment from you! great work :)
Thank you so much!! :D
Thanks for that! Subscribed!
Thanks for subscribing! :)
Thank you!
You're welcome! :)
Why do you capo the first fret, since you are intonating the strings. You fret the 12 fret for the low E and the high E, then go from there.
Excellent!
Thank you! :)
Hi Rina, Thanks so much for these videos! It helps me a lot! I just wanted to download the free template, but it doesn't work, and even I couldn't register for your website. Is there any way to get it? Thanks in advance! Viktor
Thanks
You're welcome! :D
Oh my god you are a god send. This video was super helpful and you explained everything perfectly. Thank you so much!!!! you gained a sub!!
Thank you very much!!
Do you still have the PDF file to print the string action & radius gauge ? Thanks
I'm desperatly in need for that template. Unfortunally your site is a long time now under construction. Is there another way to get that template for free, Best regards, Jim
What size allen key is needed?
The problem im having is that my action is too low. I have have dual humbuckers on mine. When i get up to the 12th fret my low E is touching my pickup
Could you resolve your problem with the help of my video or I there some information missing for your case? :)
@@Bandforge I believe that I could probably do it. Not sure if I trust myself though😂😂
@TheTexanFarmer Just take your time and be gentle with the steps. Sure you can do it! I mean, I could! ;)
Great video! Website is under construction, how can I download the tool template in the meantime?
Hi Vlad, just register on the temporary website and I will send you an e-mail. :)
Alternatively, you can drop me a line on Discord.
@@Bandforge Much appreciated :)
Does this work with a tele style guitar?
Yes, absolutely! :)
Hi Rina, the 2 fingers go the other way🤣
What? Where?? I just rewatched the whole video and still didn't get it, sorry🤣
@@Bandforge when you say two you put two fingers up, in England that means a naughty word but the other way round its peace ✌😂
@@Bandforge at the very very beginning at 2 seconds Rina you put the 2 fingers up I find it funny in a nice way, the series of setups have been very informative Cheers 🙂
I'm an American and realized I may have been pronouncing "gauge" wrong my entire life 😂
Hahahaha! Yeah, sorry … I fixed that in the later videos. That word is very counter intuitive to non native speakers. ;)
I'm an English man and you've been pronouncing most English words wrong your entire life 😝lol
You're very pretty🤩😍⚘️🌷
Thank you! :)
Love the content but, and I mean this constructively, "Gay-jjjjje"
Hahaha, yeah! I worked on that! ;)
This video was like way longer than neccessary for the lack of playing
This is very cool ! Thank you so much for the tools and gauges 🫶🎸✨
ur amazing whats ur instagram
