Good video but shouldn't all string measurements be done with the guitar in playing position? When the neck is resting on the cradle it gets pushed forward a bit.
I think I disagree. My point: the last step is intonation, because everything that we make before this for sure will affect the correct chords, pitch...anyway, the intonation at all.
too much talk and getting ready to make a point about 'how it used to be done' ... skip that nonsense and use the correct 12th fret method to set intonation and have adjustable saddles.
U show what it should b but do not show how to get their 😂
Nice that your tele is already set up near perfect...You didn't tell us how and to what degree to set up ours. Mine is exactly the same as yours...even the same colour, maple neck etc. but ..was looking for a how to....? Sorry I rarely, if ever, leave negative reviews...but this was disappointing.
What if you have a high fret high on the neck when measuring relief. Wont it give you inaccurate relief measurements?
So, what if there is no neck relief? Then I assume we are adjusting the truss rod? How does an amateur accomplish this? Which way does he turn the trust rod adjustment Allen wrench? That would have been very useful information… Otherwise, I appreciate the videoand your efforts for making it…
I wanted to share my gratitude for the content you've posted. I found your channel about 6 months ago, two months after I started playing an electric. The first tech I used was terrible so I decided then to do my own tech work going forward. Your content has been invaluable, so clear and concise and simply laid out. Ive done numerous set ups on my own instruments and have disassembled and reassembled all of them for various reasons. Your vid on setting up a floating trem is gold ! In the last couple of weeks I have done two fret levels and I'm about to attempt to wire up a two hB control panel with one volume, one tone and one toggle. I came today because for the umpteenth time Ive linked your channel to a FB Guitar group for those like me and I wanted to share the gratitude.
Hi I have a Fender Squier Classic Vibe 50’s, I’m having issues with choking out at the 10th fret, I’ve got the neck relief dead on and I can’t go any lower on the action because of this issue, what do you recommend I do? I have done some research on putting a shim in the neck pocket.
Nice tutorial, once the neck relief is correct I prefer to bend the high E up a full tone around the 14/15th fret to see that it rings clear without fretting out and that sets the action.
Nice and simple to understand. Much appreciated 👍
Great video. Thanks for the help.
Very helpful. Thank you!
Excellent video. I've watched so many other videos on setup that were confusing or contradictory. This is clear and easy to follow. I feel like I understand these steps properly now. Thank you!
Wow! I can't tell you how much your video helped me. I, like many other people, have watched dozens and dozens of set-up videos. Your was explained so well. Thanks again. Oh .... and yes, I subscribed. 😊
Excellent.
You are awesome! My tele sounds awesome now! I just subscribed!
Thank you for taking the time to create a clear and simple approach to a telecaster setup. How will you raise the low e string at the nut? A file will not help in that instance, will it?
ขอบคุณมากครับ ผมไม่เคยรู้เรื่องนี้เลย
Great vid! Question: Would you want to do the string height adjustments first since this will effect the height of the string during the neck adjustment. Inversely, the neck curve shouldn't effect the string height at the 17th fret so logically the neck adjustment should be second. Do you agree?
