Any Guitar set up step by step for Dummies

Re: Any Guitar set up step by step for Dummies

Ha, I asked a similar question to this awhile ago.

Gearjoneser was a big help, he could write the book on it. You need an expensive tuner though... :rolleyes:

For what its worth, click on the link in my sig to my homepage.
On the lower, left-hand side, you'll see a Tech Tips section.

"Basic Guitar Setup" is a good one, along with others.

A full blown Floyd setup tutorial by your truly is also in the works, just need to pick up some new batteries for my cam and write about another 2 paragraphs, but I must admit that it doesnßt cover the "basics" like trussrod, action and Intonation but assumes that that knowledge is already "there" ;)

Other than that, Dan Erlewineßs "Guitar Player Repair Guide" (Miller-Freeman, available through www.stewmac.com among others) is the repairman´s and Techs bible, and an 8th grader can become a luthier reading it (look at me, that´s what I did ;))

You also need to have long hair, wear tight trousers, put your foot on the monitor (cat or dog if you don't have one) and then pull various faces at the guitar or in the mirror - this could help you on the way to being a great rock guitarist :32:

"Electric Guitar Setups" by Hideo Kamimoto. I've used this book for a reference for quite a while. You can buy it from Warmoth.
