I've watched loads of videos about setting up les pauls. This video is by far the best video I've ever seen in terms of following a logical sequence and all the sections are super well explained. I cannot stress enough the quality of this video. You can tell that a lot of effort and prepararion has been taken in order to put this video together. Simply superb.
Jose, thanks for such kind words. It did take me a long time and I'm very glad it is appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to leave such a nice comment.
He kinda said it all BEFORE he even started! "Its All Connected" so true. I'd add that your sound is only as good as your weakest link....
Let's make all the links strong.
Definitely will need a back and forth but when setting the truss rod and holding the string down at the 1st and 12th fret the saddle height makes no difference, nor does the string gauge. You could do it with a ruler too. It's the best way to ensure you are checking the neck bow without the other elements interfering. By doing this you have the best start for making the fine tuning adjustments of the other elements.
The strings should be roughly correctly tuned before you do any adjustments, to your preferred tuning, there dies need to be tension there, and as close as possible to what it will be at the end (although it's always a back and forth before steps as each effects the other). I would never advise to set up without string tension. Perhaps you misunderstood what I said. I'll have to go back and check.
This was an unreal tutorial. So detailed and well explained.
Thanks for such an amazing comment, much appreciated.
I come back systematically here because any detail is not enough , and you give plenty and more. You are my luthier! Thanks for really teaching!
What a wonderful comment. Thank you so much, I'm so glad I could help. Comments like that make it all worthwhile.
If you don't have a feeler gauge handy, the .015" mentioned in the video is the same thickness as the G string in a set of Super Light (.008 to .038) strings or the B in a set of Mediums (.011 to .050); otherwise check the thicknesses in whatever pack you have laying around for a good approximation.
Excellent tip. Thanks again for sharing.
While I'm learning by doing (repairing a "tortured" 1976 Ibanez 2393 for the first time) this video answers a lot of my questions. Simply brilliant! Thank you so much!!!!
Thank you, that so kind of you to say. Learning by doing is a great way.
When learning guitar setups online sometimes steps are missed and it leaves you missing something(like the string height at the 12th fret .015) your explanations are thorough and leaves me with the right answers...thankyou....
Thank you for commenting, I'm really glad that the video covered everything that you needed.
Tremendous work. Highly appreciated. I can‘t thank you enough. Well done, man!
Much appreciated! What a great comment, it makes all the effort worthwhile.

Really excellent video. Many thanks. I've subscibed to your channel and look forward to seeing your other videos.
Thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it and hopefully you'll find some of the others useful.
Everytime I want to double check my setup I come back here. Amazing, super informative video. And btw, that guitar is amazing as well 👏👏👏
Thank you so much, that's so nice to hear. I'm really glad it's useful.
Excellent tutorial, made setting up my guitar a lot easier, thank you
Absolute pleasure, glad it helped.
Best setup vid on the web, cheers :)
Thanks so much. Best comment here. Comments like that make it worth while.
Excellent video with perfect clarity--not an easy thing to find on youtube! Thanks!
Thanks for such kind words.
Incredibly informative, thank you. Helped me set up my daughter's Epiphone Les Paul just right after rebuilding.
That's great to hear. What did you do to rebuild it? I hope she has loads of fun with it.
Just trying to restring /clean my SG as its been in storage for 2 years-this is a life saver-very comprehensive & clear-and great camera angles-thanks for taking the time & effort to upload this.
Hey, it's a pleasure and so glad it's useful - thanks for letting me know. I hope you have fun with your SG!
Very useful and thorough, thanks a lot!
It's a pleasure, thanks for commenting.
Im looking so long for set up of guitars your details is the best.. Subs
Thank you so much. Hopefully you'll enjoy my other videos too.
I just come across your video found it very very interesting thank you for your good work helped me a lot once again thank you
It's a pleasure. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
I have watched a ton of videos by different people about guitar setups and I'd say without hesitation this is the most comprehensive and well produced I've seen by far. I know these videis take a lot of time to plan/shoot/edit so I want to say your efforts are very much appreciated. My guitar knowledge level is fairly low and this fit perfectly. Thank you.
Hi Andy. Thanks for leaving such a nice comment. It did take a long time to make and edit this, but comments like yours make it worth while.
Thanks for the video.
I somehow caught this video of things I already know because it is a topic I watch a lot on the Ytube.. Normally i skip over how to setup a guitar video, yet somehow you explain in a way that I feel compelled to keep watching.. Your attention to detail, and demonstrating the details you are talking about keep me tuned in.. True sign of a well done instructional video.. Well done, I also appreciate the artistic value of the guitar you are using in the video, I am sure the customer has a prized fiddle they will cherish. .
What a great comment, thank you for taking the time to leave it. I'm glad to hear it kept you watching, I always worry these videos are too long. I'm actually making another guitar for that customer so I guess he was happy. Thanks again.
What a great video 🎉 Everything clearly explained in a logical order, at the right pace. Thank you for your time in putting this together 🎸👏🏻
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I'm glad you liked it. Are you setting up a particular guitar?
@@DevilAndSons Yep, an LP type, although not an actual Les Paul! The video fits perfectly 👌🏻
Great. Glad it helps. I do have a les paul tuneomatic bridge videonif you want to go geekier.
Thank you. This video helped me a lot.
I'm so happy to hear that, thanks for taking the time to comment.
I don't often comment on videos, but this guide is excellent. Easy watch, brilliant timing and pace no crap background music and what a good bloke! Thank you.
Thank you so kuchen for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it. It does make the whole video creation process worthwhile. Cheers.
This is the most useful video I've ever seen on this subject ever. Noice.
Ha, thank you so very much again. That is a great comment.
So good explained, with an even better English!
Thanks so much, I'm glad you found the explanation good.
This was very helpful to me. Thank you so much for doing this video. John from MI USA
Thank you for taking the time to comment. I'm really glad it was useful.
Very well done! Thank you!
It's a pleasure- thank you for commenting.
Brilliant video! Now, I just need a feeler gauge, a ruler and I should be ready to set all my guitars up!
I feel lucky I have found out about your channel!
Greetings from Paris, France!
Hello. Thanks for leaving such a nice comment. Although I think using a feelers gauge helps keep things consistent some people just use something roughly that thickness, like a business card - that may do as a temporary guide.
The best explanations I have seen in a long time.
Ronald Marceau that’s very kind of you to say, thanks for leaving the comment.
@@DevilAndSons anyways, were they set to Standard E?
Yes, this one was tuned to standard EADGBE, although the same set up principles apply whatever the tuning.
Hi. I just want to thank you for this amazing video !
It's a pleasure, thanks for commenting.
Thanks for sharing the details
A bit delayed, but it's a pleasure.
This is super helpful. Great video I learned a lot.
So glad to hear that, thanks for taking the time to comment.
Except for the tea break segment, the best informative set-up video I’ve seen. I hope you do this for a living man, bc you can if you don’t.
You'd be surprised how important tea is for me! Thanks so much, that's very kind of you to say. I'm trying to do it for a living, and comments, likes, and shares really help- so thanks again.
This video was so helpful! I picked up a sweet gretsch electromatic solid body for under $200 on craigslist that has had some obnoxious buzzing issues.. I've never done more than replace strings and this video helped me totally fix up this internet score. Thank you for your content!
That's great news, thanks for letting me know. Happy strumming!
great video! so helpful. greetings from Brazil
Hello. Thanks for leaving a comment, it's great to know people all around the world are watching, I'm honoured.
Nice Video sir, It's very helpful ❤️
Thanks for letting me know, much appreciated
Thank you for an amazing instructional video - this really de-mystified the whole thing for me. I'm a beginner on electric guitar and was too afraid to change my strings or touch the tune-o-matic setup, but with the help of your video I changed the strings, lowered the action and fixed the intonation on a couple of the strings. It feels and sounds fantastic now. Greetings from South Africa!
Greetings from the UK! Thanks so much for commenting, it's so good to know this video is helpful...all around the world.
You've really helped me out! Thank you!
It's an absolute pleasure, thank you for commenting.
Thank you very much for this video. I really don't understand why this great tutorial has so few views. You did an exemplary job! Setting up my self build guitar wasn't really that hard after watching this. I even downloaded this video just in case it gets taken down for whatever reason :D
Greetings from Germany
Ha, I really hope it doesnt get taken down! Thanks for the kind comment, hopefully more like that will it get increased views, I'm still a very new channel and this has only been up a few months... one day! Thanks again.
I was just about to extol the virtues of this video, but I see Jose (below) has said exactly what I would have done. Head & shoulders above anything else I've seen here.
Thanks so much for commenting anyway, if you hadn't I wouldn't have know you liked it and knowing people like it or find it useful makes it all worthwhile.
Learn more each time I watch these videos..as always, well done.Happy New Year, Howard, Leftie, 83, H6UK
And happy new year to you. Thanks for all the interactions and positivity.
This, Sir, is indeed a great video!
Thanks so much, comments like that make it all worth it.
Thank You for your video it really helped me out setting up my guitar !! Thanks for all the effort made on this
It's a pleasure, I'm glad I could help. What guitar have you got?
@@DevilAndSons I have a Charvel Desolation DC 1. Had some trouble with String height and fret buzz. Your video helped me fix it!!
Nice, I just looked them up and they look cool. If yours has a Floyd Rose on it I have another video on that which may offer some tips too.
cool. I''ve been playing for 50 years and never fully understood many of these things. The best string tuning explanation I've seen.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave that comment - much appreciated.
I have some knowledge and a few things seem obvious even to me, but the way you explained them gave me more trust about the things I didn’t understand! Thank you for a well made video :^}
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that. I try my best to explain everything clearly so good to know it has helped reinforce your knowledge.
Very thorough. Very helpful
Thanks for commenting, I'm very happy that you found it useful.
Very useful. Now I feel like drinking a spot of tea for some reason
It makes everything better.
Excellent, keep up the good work. I've learnt so much through these well made videos. Who knew you could have a cuppa during set up...lol.
Thanks again. Who can get through a long job without a cup of tea?
Honestly, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You have gifted me a NEW guitar. I wasn't playing my ES-333 for ages because subconsciously it just didn't sound as good as my other guitar. After watching your video and doing a setup it sounds AMAZING!!!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I've been playing for 5 hours straight!
Brilliant to hear that, and thanks for letting me know. I'm so happy it was helpful.
Legend, thank you. This was so helpful.
Thanks so much for commenting. I could get used to being called a legend. I'm glad it was helpful.
Thanks. I decided to learn setup on, of all things not my cheaper other guitars, but my 95 LPS. Hasn't been setup for the 10 years I've had it and doubt the guy I bought it from did much of anything. Been watching videos that all say the same thing just in different ways and this one bring it all in on the how and why.
Thanks for commenting. I really wanted to make sure they 'why'd was included as well as the how so I'm glad you like that element. Good luck with the set up, I'm sure you'll notice the difference once you've finished.
Love your videos you earned my sub fantastic the best !!!
What a compliment- thank you. I've got lots of videos lined up for the new year so hopefully you'll enjoy them too.
Thanks for that. I really appreciate the effort that you put in to these videos, particularly the close ups that can really show the detail that people need to see.
One thing I would add is that people should be aware that when adjusting pickup height, if you get the pickup too close to the strings the magnetic field from the pickup can affect the string's vibration, killing sustain and generating unnatural overtones called "wolf tones".
The pickup may not be close enough to touch the strings but could still be close enough to produce wolf tones
Thanks for leaving a comment, and the very useful advice. Hopefully people will read this too.
Just to say, i've set up three guitars in a week using this video. Best tutorial i've seen on the internet. You're a natural teacher. Thank you!
Amazing-thanks for letting me know!
big thanks for the only video which does it properly
Thanks so much for such a great comment. I'm glad you liked it.
I constantly consult this video. Thank you very much. I'd love a video with a little more advanced stuff like nut work but this is great
Thanks so much, that is great to hear. I'm currently working on a whole batch of new videos that I will start up loading from October. I'm going to start with some basics but get more advanced, I'm sure nuts will come in at some point. Thanks again for taking the time to comment.
Fantastic. Thank you.
It's a pleasure, thanks for watching and commenting.
Only just found your site Daniel, Brilliant, no one explains it better in depth than you, I have subscribed.
Thanks so much Pete, that's very kind of you to say. I have more how to videos coming in a few months so hopefully more for you to enjoy. Cheers.
@@DevilAndSons Than you very much will look out for those.
Thank you. It makes it all worthwhile knowing people actually watch these.
Tanks mate. You're a legend. Exactly what I needed. This and your Floyd Rose tutorial gave me a fighting chance with my Dean From Hell setup! YUUUURGH
Thank you. Good luck with the Dean. Floyd Rose set ups can take ages the first few times you do them, but once you get used to it you'll be fine. Do let me know how you get on.
@@DevilAndSons Thanks mate, I wish I could say it all went smoothly but I'm about ready to give in and take it to a tech. I've come to understand the Chinese re-issue is a bit shoddy. The screws for the back plate aren't aligned so it drifts up and down and goes out of tune whenever I hit the tremolo, stretch a string or even strum. I spent the last 2 days retuning and retuning then crying myself to sleep.. :'( I'm thinking maybe try putting washers between the screw head and the plate to keep them balanced. And maybe trying a higher gauge set of strings. Would that be worth a go? Otherwise I'm just going to shove blocks in and fix the bridge
Cheers
@@simonbrown7007 oh no. If it's going out of tune then I think the strings and springs may not be balanced. How many springs have you got at the back? I wonder if it could do with more tension and more springs? Do you notice when it goes out of tune that the tuning goes flat? That might imply an extra spring would help, or tightening the claw that holds them.
Or it could be that something is sticking somewhere.
Hi Daniel. Thanks for this video!! It is the best I have seen and made so much sense and really helped.
My day started bad after watching another video about trying to reduce string buzz by eyeballing the fretboard and turning the truss rod, it only got worse.
I have also been getting annoyed lately how bad my instrument sounded, notes were too sharp (but intonation at 12th was ok)
I found your tunomatic bridge video first then raised my stoptail a lot as as you pointed out my string angle was extreme and strings were catching on the back of bridge, I hadn't even noticed. This reduced a lot of string tension too
Then I found this Video and went through everything step by step, even changed my strings to wind up the peg instead of down, reducing string tension more. (Why do most people wind down as I have always done?)
Using a feeler gauge made setting the truss rod so easy, i dropped my bridge height and raised my neck pickup. Guitar sounds sooooo much better now and reduced string tension means less finger pressure required so lower down notes are not sharp.
Thanks
Also thats a cool guitar you built.
That is great news, I'm so glad the videos helped and thanks for taking the time to let me know - feedback like that makes it all worth while.
According to a video on the Gibson youtube channel featuring there head luthier, when doing all six strings at the same time (such as in there manufacturing process), it makes things easier and reduces the chances of gouging the paint job with the wire ends if you remove the tail piece from the guitar and thread all six strings before reinstalling it.
Great tip, thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for such a thorough and well done video. I am going to follow your instructions to set up my Les Paul Studio tonight!!🎶
Much respect!!!
Thanks for commenting, and it's a pleasure. I hope the set up goes smoothly - do let me know how you get on.
@@DevilAndSons I am happy to say that my set up went very well and my guitar is playing like a dream. Thank you again!! You have had a very positive impact on my life. The past 15 months have been the most devastating time in my life. Without playing live shows I lost my income and my way of life. I haven't had the money to keep up on the usual maintenance on my guitars and now as I make my comeback I feel confident that I will sound my best. Cheers!!
Thank you for letting me know, I'm so glad to have been of help, and I wish you all the very best for the future.
@@DevilAndSons You're welcome and I am sure I will be in contact with you. You're knowledge and kindness are much appreciated and your guitars are beautiful pieces of art. You have such a gift of talent and creativity. One Love!
I look forward to hearing from you again in the future.
So glad that the video shows everything close up whereas some video you have to guess what is going on.
I really tried to focus in to make sure everything was clear. Glad you like it, thanks for commenting.
Great video and explanation. Loads of great detail and presented in a way that kept my total attention and didn't bore me to death. Excellent !!!!!!
I'm so glad it kept your attention, I do worry that some of my videos are too long.
@@DevilAndSons . Not at all. The information is pertinent. The way you present it is right on the money. Easy to digest and retain. If you taught in California , I would go to your school in a heartbeat. I hope you continue to put out great videos.
What a compliment! Thanks.
@@DevilAndSons I hve to tell you, since i went through your video, and with a few slow attempts, i now have my Les Paul playing and sounding better than when i paid $85 for a setup at a shop. I have a huge favor to ask, by any chance have you done or can you do a video on setting up a PRS Tremonti single cut? I know there is something out of wack on mine, and i just can't put my finger on it. I have some buzz and the sound doesn't sound as full as it should. So if you could do a video on the PRS, please let me know, i would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.... Bob
Firstly, that is great news - I'm so happy this video was helpful. For the problem with you PRS perhaps you can email me some photos or upload a video and I may be able to suggest some fix for you, no guarantees though as it's hard to do over the Internet.
Really great -- super helpful, especially for a noob like me. Thanks!
It's a pleasure- thanks for taking the time to comment.
Man.. you called the tea when i have my coffee in my hands. great video !
This is my favourite ever comment! Cheers.
Was just thinking about you the other day while I am still working on my headless guitar kit. Love watching tips for setup! Nice and thorough.
DragonofLimerick how nice to be on someone’s mind. Thanks for commenting on this too, much appreciated.
DragonofLimerick and how is the headless guitar coming along?
@@DevilAndSons Super slow because of time constraints and a couple of frustrating screw breaks or setbacks I'm on Instagram as dragonoflimerick, it is the Galaxy painted body.
DragonofLimerick I totally understand, time is hard to find and the most annoying thing is not having the screw you need (or breaking one) and then having to wait for a new one to be delivered/bought.
DragonofLimerick going to check it out on Instagram now.
Great video!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for commenting, much appreciated.
thx for this vid!
It's a pleasure, thanks for commenting
Very nice description of truss rod adjustment, saw another video that said tightening the rod will make it "forward bow", while loosening will produce a "reverse bow', the opposite of what you stated. Going to try loosening my truss rod to see if I can get rid of the string buzz, and string snapping at the machine heads.
Thanks for commenting. I'm pretty certain what I said is what normally happens. Tightening the truss causes back bow. When you loosen it there is less tension against the strings that pull it up.
@@DevilAndSons Brilliant video. Just one thing, at 25:58 you say "tightening" the truss rod, when I think you mean loosening? Lovely thorough video. Thanks very much.
Thanks for commenting and glad you like it. Sometimes I'm surprised anything I say makes sense after I've spent so long sitting on my own talking to a camera.
@@DevilAndSons What you said in your video worked, although I wasn't able to completely get rid of my string buzz issue. The neck was distorted and required a shim to bring the strings up off of the frets. I was able to tame the buzz, but still have a problem with the machine head, still snapping the string. I tried to file the feed hole to knock down the sharp edge, going to try to restring to see if it will work. Hopefully it won't be a sacrificial set of strings and I can start playing my guitar again. Thanks again for your video, it helped a lot!
just ordered a feeler gauge......my best mate stole mine about 5 years back when he wanted to adjust the valve clearances on his Triumph Dolomite Sprint....oh, happy days.........a real bird puller,H6uk.
Brilliant! This time if you lend it out just keep the one you need for your strings.
as before, love the close-ups....and have managed to get Video player (vlc) into slow mode.............have a pint for me, Howard............keep 'em coming..............
Wow, thanks again. I must sound really slow slowed down, one commenter recommended listening to me at 1.5speed as I talk slowly anyway!
Very detailed tutorial and I have learnt a lot! Could you please also do a video on how you maintain your guitars?
Thanks for leaving a comment Aaron. That's a good idea, I hadn't thought about doing that. I'm currently editing a few other videos and now have a long list of videos to make, but I'll definitely add that one to it.
@@DevilAndSons Looking forward to your new videos! Just wanted you to know that your videos are very useful and I really love your filming + editing style. Keep up the great work!!
@@aaronyeung8828 thanks so much, I really appreciate you taking the time to comment.
Inspired by your comment I made this video: th-cam.com/video/I-83j9NI8bo/w-d-xo.html
I'm sitting here ready with my cup of tea!
Brilliant. I hope the video was helpful and the cup of tea delightful.
@@DevilAndSons Thank you so much! My strings have never been(looked) neater and for the first time in 24 years my Epiphone SG is playing as it should all the way down the fret board! Fantastic clear instructions giving great tips! Amazing what a setup does to a guitar!
I am so glad to hear that, thanks for letting me know. Yes - it is amazing what a set up can do.
amo tu canal pibe
muchas gracias. muy contento de que hayas dejado un comentario.
I really liked the depth of your explanation, and how to think what happens when you tighten the truss rod (based on wood section format) but just to clarify, at 21:00 you say you don't want the neck to be completely flat, you want a little bit of a back bow, but then when measuring string height at the centre of the neck you want to have the 0.381mm gap, isn't that the opposite of a back bow? I'm going to try to tune a Steinberger I gifted my son this Chrismas, and have seen your other video showing how a headless bridge works, thank you so much for your clear and technical explanations, I haven't seen before how all those parts work with any detail, much less your level of detail that is indeed very useful for understanding how it all works together and how to better tune it ;)
Thanks for such a nice comment. I was using the terms back bow and front bow. But I now know some people use them the other way round. I use back bow for a neck where the centre bows back away from the strings.i hope that makes sense. So a gap is advised.
