- In this video, I take the Harley Benton Strat that I bought used for £30 / $40 to Phill Orme (Doghouse Guitar Repairs). Phill is going to show you how to adjust the bridge, covering string action, radius and tremolo setup techniques.

I'm going to use this £30 / $40 guitar on a professional, paid recording session and play it on tour to prove that you don't need expensive instruments to make music.
At the end of the video series, GIVE THIS GUITAR AWAY!!

haha, the B&Q masking tape making an appearance at the bottom of the trem arm. I bet that guitar is mightily relieved to be in the hands of someone that knows what they are doing. Its replacement went to someone who knew what they are doing to get set up and have the frets levelled etc. Best 90 odd quid I ever spent.
🤣👍 nice one Mike!
I’m loving this series! I’m learning a lot! Thanks for all the great info!
Pleasure Ed
best setup videos ive seen yet thanks a lot for the uploads - Phill Orme is a very good teacher!
Thanks so much 🙏👍
Phill's guitar setup techniques and knowledge is fun to experience. What a great guy to have available to work on your guitars. Wonderful series.
Thank you Eric 🙏 he’s really quite special.
Killer info here. Thank you
🤘👍
I loved the Post-it notes tip! 😉
I KNOW! Great isn’t it 😎
VERY useful knowledge . Great Tips .
Thanks John
I absolutely love this series! Music is not in the guitar!
It’s in the hands and the soul Curt - for sure!
Normally I just use a block of wood in the back to hold the bridge, but that's pretty clever with the post-it notes. Using old drum sticks (or any round dowel) as handles for allen keys is pretty clever too. Much cheaper than buying a set of T handled hex tools.
Absolutely, I’ve learned so much filming these videos 👍
Wow, I have been doing some things wrong, brilliant video. Now I have to go set up all my guitars again . hahahaha
Haha definitely
Really enjoying learning from your luthier friend. By the way your VO is clipping I think
Hey Saad, yeah I learned so much too, Phill is incredible. Not getting the clipping issues you mentioned on my system, but I’ve invested in and improved my audio and video since this video was released. I’m much happier with it now, I want the best for my subscribers. Thanks for the heads up 🙏👍
Great video and superb tips. Can you do more vidz with the amazing Phill in the future? Learned so much and strats with trems are a nightmare no matter what make they are, so these tips are gold dust 👍👍👍
No problem Martin, there's a few more coming out soon. Phill is just AMAZING! He's rebuilding all my touring guitars at the moment 🤘
@@ScottPoleyMusic Superb stuff - will look forward to watching them. Finding a great luthier/tech you can rely on makes so much difference to your ability to play and love your guitars. The difference a well set up guitar makes - whether it cost £30 or £3,000 - is something you only learn with experience OR from the internet. Now back in my day you had to join a secret society with weird rituals to find a decent guitar tech 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣 it's not changed!!!
Post-it was a neat trick
Isn’t it just!! Love that trick.
Nice video and very usefull informtaion, i m new to guitar and bought a used Harley Benton. The problem with my 3rd string at fret 13 if i press the string buzz, what is your advice, thank you.
Could be a couple of things, follow my video series for tips 🤘
@@ScottPoleyMusic thanks
What was choking at 12 fret? I assumed frets high.
Actually no high frets, it was more to do with the neck set angle (see the other videos in the series).
Heavier strings don't mean better tone.
Billy Gibbons uses sevens? Does anyone think his tone ain't good?
"Why do you so hard, boy?" Asked B.B King from Billy when he used to use tens. B.B King. Another one using sevens.
But tons of great advice here about setting your guitar up.
Aaaah the string debate!!
Billy Gibbons can make anything sound good, he’s Billy Gibbons!! String gauges definitely have an impact on the tone, Rick Beato has a great video about it.
My experience is thicker strings give a fatter sound and allow me to dig into the strings harder. I use 10-52 gauge on most electric guitars and that gives me the sound I like.
It’s all down to the player and the sound you’re going for!! What gauge do you use?? I tried 7’s once and could barely play a chord in tune 🤣 thanks for your comment Maestör!!
are these nickel or stainless steel fret wire?
Nickel 👍
That url lol
🤣🤘
@@ScottPoleyMusic took that into my funny url playlist xD
