2:18 RE; Fender ''cut D and G flat'' Interesting, is a 'dead' G string, one that sound dull, usually due to a poorly cut nut? I find the G and sometimes B strings sounding quite dull, especially when not plugged into an amp, just playing acoustically or 'unplugged' .

2:10 ''copy the shape of the headstock''? Do you mean copy/follow the angle of the headstock?

2:08 What is the term for the Gibson angle? 'Fender vs Gibson filing angle.' The Gibson is a ? I don't have a Gibson, but I have some 24.75'' scale guitars as well as 25.5''. Also, I've been told to us 'that' angle you're using 'here' for the final couple of finish strokes so the strings exit on that final point, not the entire nut, which seems right.

''adversely''? Conversely, right?

I've got open E buzz the rest is okish. Epi 2012 china standard pro.

yeh but is it the same for Ephiphone?

what hex key are you using? I am not able to get anything to work on my 22' MIM strat. Thanks!

Next step? Wha?

Camera too far

Zoom in please

Lmao this one was not helpful...

As far as the output jack goes, I like the idea of a bore brush. The ID of a 1/4" jack is about 6mm or .23" so a .22 or .223 brush would probably work well. I think a 9mm would be too large though.

I just installed a new nut. When I got it close, I used a very good tuner to check the first 3:11 fret note to cut it to completion .

This is brilliant - just what I needed. I had a G string that was cut too low and it was making the string sound dull and muffled when played open. All of the rest of the strings spot on the money, but just the G was anissue - so used this technigue tojust raise that slot a little. Thanks for sharing this handy advice - saved me replacing the entire nut :)

What step will filing the nut be at?

Nut up or shut up right!?

I just pay for a setup at $30 once a year

Very interesting! I've never seen this method of using a Capo during string height adjustments. I've got Jazzmasters a 66 and a reissue 65. Love them, but they are a bear to dial-in when changing string gauges. I'm going to give this a try. Thanks for this Setup and Maintenance Series. Clearly explained and demoed.

HELLO MARTY FROM HOLLYWOOD JOE -

Great video on simplifying basic neck relief understanding. 😎👊🎸

He just mesured the string height 😂

The first time I've looked up how to set string action. May I ask why the capo is needed? Also, I'm discovering that the big name music stores here Toronto Ontario area don't even sell a radius gauge, under-saddle gauge, any name I try, which is a bit surprising. Very helpful video, though. I have learned a lot.

Is it s secret what that can is? The brand name.

Please, cm - mm !

intense knowing they're nice guitars.

useless

Great video .. Some of you should take your guitar to a luthier if you can't figure out what he's demonstrating . Dang

Wow, rambled on for almost 4 minutes and didn't tell us how to adjust the bridge

I have intonated my guitar correctly with a Peterson StroboStomp HD and my guitar still sounds out of intonation why?

Tbh it's much easier to check the radius on the bridge if you lay the radius tool over the strings, not under the strings. Of course for the fretboard it's easier as done in the video

action height isn't measured with capo on methinks

I hate my tune-o-matic. I can never get it right. Always something is buzzing or the sustain of the note does not sustain for long enough... and I have all the tools necesarry to do the job... ehh

Wtf is stair step? And you didn’t address getting the trem bridge straight, as mine is angled. Im assuming due to tension on springs is off. This didn’t help me one bit.

OK I`m Canadian and we use the Metric system however being born in the early 60`s I also know the Imperial system. So that said, 4/32 nd actually is 1/8 th on an inch.....please people do it right.

I’ve never heard of checking 12 fret string height with a capo. That adds confusion to what Gibson recommends which is 6/64ths at the low E and 4/64ths at the high E.

This is the single best set-up video I've found. Concise and direct. The neck relief straight edge/feller gauge technique is the foundation........its simple but super effective.

@MI Guitar Craft Academy Nashville Did you actually just say that tune-o-matic bridge is easy to adjust, becase he only has 2 screws to adjust, and there is not much you can do about each string?

So bass side is 19.333333/17 and 2 fourths recuring and Treble side is 1.7 Fishes divided by 17.2 eights? Got it.........🙄

Whats the tool ?

People never use simple terms for new people to understand, is the neck bending forward or backwards. This is what needs to be reiterated.

Shredders love straight necks. Also, if you are fretting the 5th fret and hitting the 6th fret. You need fretwork.

Great video. One minor vocabulary mistake. 1:03 you say the glue is "very viscous like water". Viscous means thick and sticky. I think you mean it's very thin like water. (hope this helps 😊)

I go with barely any space when doing the hold down test. Space you can't see. As long as you hear a plink while holding down tne string between the 2nd and 3 frets, you're good. Thats small space is basically 002-005. All I need. Unless its actually sitting on the fret, imo it's not too low. Slide a piece of notebook paper under it and should have some resistance, but fit

It will work without glue but glue is very useful in preventing the toothpick falling out as crumbs the next time you take screw out, or even to hold it in a little before screw. Always screw in while wet though

plz fix the audio cutting in and out.

my action is at 0.5 mm at the first and last fret. sweet low action. plays crazy fast and easy.

Finally someone who explains it clearly 👍🏼 this video shows how simple the process is and how much difference a little turn makes. Thank you for this!

Better if we could see what you were doing

Are you using standard understring guage. Or is it wide?
