Life too short for long TH-cam videos? Please see the ‘key timings’ information below.
Dan here, hello! In this video I take my Fender Ed O'Brien Sustainer Stratocaster to Johnny Kinkead to get set up. As we find out, a good setup makes all the difference to how the guitar feels in your hands… which makes all the difference to how much you end up playing it!
Johnny takes us through all the main aspects of a guitar setup as we fettle the EOB closer to where I want it to be. Enjoy…

For the love of God please someone get this darling man his own show. He’s just wonderful to watch and I always learn so much from him whenever he’s featured on TPS.
He has such a soothing voice and pleasant disposition ...
@@scot-combs he's like the Bob Ross of guitars
Yep, I agree, I suggest something like a luthier ASMR show. his voice paired with files, drills, metal, wood, chisel, sandpaper. It's not just an opportunity, it's almost a duty to make that show :D
@@jessebell03 Right?! "Now let's just put a happy little string tree right .... here."
I agree! This man needs his own show. His way of explaining things is unparalleled.
"I want everything to sing." That is such an awesome way to think about guitar fixing. I totally understand why you'd want this man to work on your guitars simply based upon that quote alone.
Johnny Kinkead is literally a national treasure on guitar expertise.
This guy is a great teacher.
Yes!!! Now I want to go there my self! :)
I agree ,great teaching vibe
Agreed!JJ
What a gem of a man. I hope he has an apprentice to carry on his legacy of knowledge into the future.
if he doesn't, I volunteer!
He really is 👍
Johnny has turned into a proper star. Night and day from the first VLOG. You should do a "Johnny's tip" once a month.
Love the setups. More Jonny in the future!
But I had to laugh at 1:33 at “Something sounds like something’s doing something.” LOL. New TPS t-shirt?
I'll buy it
Maybe some TPS branded nut sauce?
My favorite was “Ears are just as good as machines.” 😂
My favorite was “Ears are just as good as machines.” 😂
My favorite was “Ears are just as good as machines.” 😂
I also approve of the 'is it time for elevenses now?' mug... always!!
“The more gubbins you put on a guitar ...” such a gentle burn from a top chap. More of this!
He made life make so much more sense with his explanation of intonation. Jonny demystified the whole process for me. Made it natural and logical, NOT mechanical. Cheers.
logical is mechanical.
This man is a national treasure.
See, you'd think this would bore a three-year-old boy. But after it he said "more guitar man daddy!" And I totally agree!
On intonation.. "You just as well do it by ear". What an absolutely wonderful man, I sat glued the whole episode..
as i get older i appreciate more and more someone teaching me something especially about guitars thanks very much
This is like a Bob Ross of guitar maintenance video and I'd like a series of this please and thank you
What a treasure! Jonny is such a gentle and humble man. Thanks, Dan for introducing us to him.
We need to see him work his magic on a Gibson Les Paul as well. The fret polishing with steel wool & oil for the rosewood board was something new for me. Its a real pleasure listening to him & please Dan make this a regular segment on your channel maybe like "Tips from Jonny".
I'm a bit away from Bristol but I'd drive down and drop off the guitar. I've just bought a Gibson LP that needs a set up.
not even he can save a gibson ;-)
I am guessing that Paul Reed Smith’s head would explode at Johnny Kinkead’s approach to intonation.
Didn't know how much I didn't know about truss rods.
Lovin’ this cat. Nothing like someone who is totally into his or craft. A real pleasure watching, listening and learning. Great job👍
Just watched this again and learned even more. Jonny is a national treasure and so easy to listen to with his quiet but authoritative delivery. Just Brilliant.
I wish Sir Jon could work on all of my guitars. Unfortunately, I would have to ship them all from the USA. Wonderful craftsman and very informative. Thanks to Dan and Jonny
What a fabulous chap he is.
That's some mighty fine pickin' and a-strummin' at the end there Mr Steinhart.
Cheers mate :)
So I have watched the "Re-fret" video (all of it) and now this one, and I must say that I could listen to Johnny teach me about how guitars work all day long. So cool. So much information and such a depth of knowledge. I would welcome any and all future Johnny videos. Thanks fellas!
Brilliant, elegant and revealing. This man is The Guitar Whisperer. Please continue to divulge his secrets, I beg of you. Jonny Kinkead is my spirit animal.
Daniel Steinhardt I genuinely don't think I've heard you play better than that little section at the end of this vid. Just beautiful note choice and feel man!! Had moments of Joey Landreth about it (obviously sans slide). The inspiration of a beautifully set up guitar.
Ah, that’s very kind, thanks Neuk :)
I'm glad the Strat is set up properly and we might get more Daniel Stratocaster action in the future ;)
Thought exactly the same thing. Beautiful.
What I love about shadowing a master (thats exactly what this is) is you get to cover all three levels of knowledge.
The three level of knowledge: what we know, what we don't know, and what we don't know we don't know.
Not only is this guy extremely talented but he seems like the nicest guy. I could watch and listen to him endlessly 👍
I came back to watch this after the acoustic build vlog. Could watch this all day long!
The thing about great luthiers and repair people is that cumulative knowledge of tricks, tips and techniques from a lifetime of setting up instruments - priceless in many ways. I love looking at all the bits and bobs in that shop, everything is really packed in there! Great Video, keep up the good works.
Jonny is such a lovely bloke, fortunate enough to have had a couple of guitars built by him and it’s such a pleasure to spend time with him.
Not only a wealth of knowledge and experience through what must be years (I'm sure I heard Dan say he's made 500ish guitars BY HAND), but also that genius streak of being able to express what, at times can be quite complex concepts, in language that is easy to follow & understand.
Thank you, Dan for introducing us to this guy, and yes, like others have said, get him on the show more (maybe a weekly or monthly hour where he can show us how.... well, everything really 😃!)
After more then forty years of playing and adjusting my guitars, I’m still learning from this master Luthier 👍🏼🎸
When do we get to see a vid on Jonny building some acoustics?
I absolutely love watching this Gentleman show and explain his craft
This Master Luthier is the kind of guy that after he sets up your instrument to perfection and pay him, you simply want to kiss and hug for bringing your guitar back to life!! Money isn't everything and people like him deserve more than that... More money & Gratitude. And TPS, Here is an idea... We need you to TPS him on his own T-Shirt and a gig bag with his name on it for the world to see. Thanks Dan and deeply grateful to Jonny Kinkead for sharing! Kudos J.K.
Thank you for doing the two videos and Q & A with Jonny. This has increased my knowledge of the setup and refretting process 10,000%. It also demonstrates the importance of finding and supporting a good, local luthier. Keep up the good work. Cheers.
What a great chat and lesson, thanks for sharing Mr. Kinkead.
I want to play this video on repeat so that I can absorb all of its genuine knowledge, talent and skill into my being. Absolutely fantastic work! TPS has to be one of the best channels on the tube.
Took me decades to learn the information in this one hour video. Wow, what a great show
I hope this Good man has a apprentice…so that his amazing skill lives on. New to Stratocasters but This is one on my list, Thank You for making this video. The Stratocaster sounds perfect 👌🏽
Dan and Mick I love your show. Thanks so much for this video with Jonny Kinkead. What a gentleman and a treasure of knowledge. This episode is a true diamond in the gemstones of That Pedal Show!
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you to Jonny for sharing his knowledge, and thanks to TPS for producing and sharing this bit of TH-cam treasure. Every guitar player should watch this multiple times.
Brilliant work by Johnny. So cool to watch him work and talk through everything. Straight Fire! Thanks.
What a great show!! Just lovely Jonny your awesome!
Good ol' Johnny takes the intimidation away from tweaking your own guitar.Yep! Time for the J.Kinkead Happy Guitar Fix it Show
Lots of fantastic knowledge and experience given free of charge! Top man!
This video was great!!! Thanks for sharing.
What a fabulous and charming chap. Brilliant!! A joy to look and learn. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I love looking at this man’s work! And the voice complements this, it’s soooo relaxing
These videos are awesome. Love the inside knowledge that you can really only get through that level of experience.
What a pleasure to watch Johnny work, and he explains everything in such great detail too!
An inspirational hour of very musical, laid back perfectionism! Johnny puts the hum in humble.
Thank you!
What a legend to share his amazing skills.
This is like that scene from toy story 2 where Woody's arm is fixed. This man is fixing my soul as well as the guitar. ASMR for guitarrists at its best.
I am grateful indeed. I truly love these videos. Thank you!
relaxing, sounds excellent thank you !
Best layman's explanation of how a truss rod works I've ever seen. Well done, Jonny!
I also enjoy the dialogue between the two of you, the fact that you ask questions that we all have and the fact that Johnny knows when to say he does not have a definitive answer but must experiment.
Some of my favorite playing from Dan ever! Beautiful chords and melody accentuated by the sustainer!
I thought that too. Mick here. Amazing playing!
Thoroughly enjoying these videos. Both of you doing a fantastic job and hope to see many many more 👍. Learning a lot from Jonny 👌
Dan, thanks so much for posting this! I could listen to Jonny talk shop about guitars all day! Super informative since I’m learning to set up my own guitars.
This show is an always a great education, and FairPlay to Johnny! Great addition to the channel, he is such a fountain of knowledge and such a relaxing character too! Thank you lads!
What a gift! Thank you so much for this!
What a real gent.
Always full of useful info gained by experience and genuinely humble. Bet his guitars sound awesome 😀
Jonny episodes have become my absolute favorites!
Paul Camus ditto just brilliant
I learn so much from TPS! Thank you so much Dan and Mick! Keep up the good work.
Great episode Dan! Thoroughly enjoyed watching him setup and fix guitars. He’s a genius!
This is absolutely fantastic. Master luthier and master teacher. Thank you so much for demystifying the whole set up process.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise.
What a delight! What a master. Thank you!!
this is the best clearly enunciated and demonstrated working version of intonation I've seen as well as truss rod adjustment. Brilliant... I agree... more please
The best set up video I've seen. Very detailed with good explanations.
Awesome! What a lovely and knowledgeable man!
I enjoyed this Video very much it was very helpful . Thanks to you both, Alan from ITALY
This was an education - I feel privileged to be able to learn from such a great teacher.
This is such an informative video. Mr. Kinkead explains things so clearly and concisely he makes it easy to understand what he's doing and why. I've been playing for over thirty years and I've learned a great deal from the two videos he's appeared in. I'm so impressed by the depth of his knowledge and his willingness to share it with us all.
Dan, seriously, this strat suits you. This is the best playing from you that I heard since long! Nice vid! Keep them coming
I have the same Strat and it is seriously an inspiration machine- there's just something truly magical about it
Great explanations! So informative and sensitive, and sensible! Happy to hear for the first time confirmation about that intonation adjustment by ear with the 19th fret harmonic. And all the rest is pure love. Thanks !
Just great. Keep em coming!
That's one of the most informative and nice to watch episodes on TH-cam I have seen in a long time! Thanks your sirs.
Thank you thank you …… just fantastic, cheers from 🇨🇦
I LOVE THESE VIDEOS! Thank you Dan!
What a lovely humble chap
What a wealth of information Jonny is. I could listen to him all day. Top bloke.
Best setup vid I've ever seen. Thank you for this. And especially coz I'm getting this exact guitar :)
Love Love Love ,This luthier he does need his own show. love to spend the day just hanging in his wonderful shop
Man what a great show. Great to be able to watch a real craftsman . Thoroughly enjoyable and informative.
Phenomenal episode, Dan and Jonny. What an informative hour! Jonny and Dan: you're great teachers. I really appreciate Dan's thoughtful questions, and Jonny's patient, well-reasoned, sagacious answers. What a masterclass. Keep up the good work.
Jonny is amazing a wonderful and wise craftsman I learned a lot from this video.
What a treasure that man is! Please have him on again. 👏👏👏👏 ❤️
Even though I know I am very familiar with everything he is discussing and going over. It is still great to watch. A good refresher. Thank you Dan and thank you Johnny.
What a lovely, informative, soothing vlog. Jonny K is a master, and yet I feel better able to take on everyday adjustments from watching him rather than more intimidated. Brilliant fellow. Brilliant fellow to Dan too. ❤️
Absolutely FANTASTIC! So much good information and Jonny is natural and funny. Plus, Dan you are one of the tastiest players I know, luv’ ya tone and your way of thinking guitar. Thanks a lot and cheers mate!
I've been slowly learning how to do my own setups for awhile now and I've learned a ton from watching these videos with Jonny! I'd love to see more with him!
Once again I am astounded at the attention to detail and the conscientious way in which Mr. Jonny handles his business. He's an astounding teacher and extremely interesting. Thank you guys for sharing some more of his work with us.
Agree on own show! Educational and informative - presented in a clear and engaging way! Thank you both for doing this!
awesome video. I learned a lot! thank you!
True craftsman and luthier! So much care!
