Have everything Music Nomad makes for guitars. Stew can KISS my foot. Thank you M N for making all the stuff you do, for REALISTIC prices.
I can't imagine a more thorough and comprehensible demonstration on setting up the Fender Squire Strat. Very well done sir!
Great, how to one thing you're a pro have you ever been a GT for some guitar player while touring with a band...RocknRollflat5
When I saw the almost hour long time on video I thought, "wow, must be a bunch of wasted speech". I was so wrong! This guy makes the set up so clear and simple and his commitment to detail is appreciated!
First, great tutorial. And a tip: I just set up a new Squier Debut Strat. It’s their new, least expensive line sold exclusively on Amazon. $119! The Debut was much better set up than the Affinity shown in this video.
Thank you so much. Definitely saving this video for future setups.
Thanks Geoff... Really great information and well presented. I'll be tweaking my guitars over the weekend.
I bought a new Squier Strat ... and NOW i feel like i can make it as good as it can be. Thank you so much for your tutorial!
The best guitar setup video, no question 'bout that! Thanks a lot!!! 😎
Very nice demo of the kiss system. Next paycheck will be ordering this nomad setup and maintain kit. Thank You.
Excellent tutorial. Thanks.
I have a classic vibe 50 strato and it sounds like a dream😊
Thank you again. Just a tip for us newbies. I used my Fender headstock tuner to do this. Didn’t realize for a bit that when correcting intonation that I had to put the tuner into Chromatic mode.
I brought all of my guitars to Geoff when I lived in his area. Not only is he a great tech and master luthier he's also a great person. You should check out his custom guitars as well. Awesome video Geoff and now I will learn to do this myself since I no longer live in you neck of the woods......hopefully.
Great detail. Thx. I invested in some Music Nomad tools as a result.
Really well explained thak You!!
Fabulous..i cant play but i bought a beautiful Squier infinity..i now have a better understanding of the methods ..thank you .
From Australia
Excellent video!
I went through the set up after a restoration job and everything wet well. I followed the guidelines for the nut slot depth but everything was a little sharp on the first fret. I took one or two extra strokes and it fell into place. Thanks for the tips. Oh and your nut files worked great!
Thank you for this video. I've learned a lot on how to properly setup my squier stratocaster in the right order. After discovering that the factory nut was set too low at 0.006 for low E instead of 0.010 and 0.004 for high E instead of 0.006. I'll be replacing the nut with a TUSQ XL. I can't wait to get started with setuping up the whole guitar and back to practicing. Love the information yall provided. This is game changer. THANKS
I know most of this but I picked up some very usable tips here, thank you for sharing this!!👍
Glad it was helpful!
Awsome Work 🎶🟰🔝😇
Thanks for this video and all the rest you do! I certainly learned a lot and don't need to look anywhere else for my information and Nomad for my gear!! I'm a new to playing guitar, Less than a year. I purchased a Zager 50CE African Mahogany Acoustic Electric and it's beautiful! (I figured if I get a top quality guitar, I'd stick with playing it and not give up) (I also bought a Fender Squier Strat too). One thing Denny Zager said.... if you play a guitar, you need to learn everything about it and learn how to change strings to begin and then be able to make all adjustments and repairs.
Amazing ❤
Best setup video that I've run into.
This was the best guitar setup Video I've seen !!! Excellent
This is why making an investment in quality tools is worth the expense. You learn a skill while also saving money in the long run. I am very happy with the KISS tools and nut files. The G&L in the picture plays great thanks to these tools.
HEY!!! Phil Swift here, with the amazing Nomad stuff!
Wow thanks mate i have a fixer upper 🎸 it's been sitting round time to pull her out.🎸🙏👍 & Restore her . ❤
Less than 30 days ago I got a DKMGT from 2003!! Scored it from this chick who didn't know what she had -possibly didn't care 🤷🏻♂️ lol because it was priced SO cheaply. Thankfully I saw it immediately after she posted it!
I've got 5 Jackson's now 🤦🏻♂️ lol
This is the 2nd Japanese one and is my new Fav!! other's are post Fender buying Jackson 🤬) I dig the afterburner and am actually getting GREAT sounds from the stock EMG HZ's
Awesome video brotha🤘🏻😆🤘🏻
Great video. Geoff has mentioned uneven frets/needing fret level and dress, on a couple of these videos. Any plans to do a video on fret leveling and dressing in the future?
Yes, for sure!
I have one I bought new for my Daughter been played twice been in gig bag 2006 .
So that's how the pros do it. 👍👍👍
Can you tell me the manufacturer of the red 6 drawer lockable mini chest that looks like it’s hung on the side of your black tool chest ? Great understandable setup video 👍🏻
Shouldn't one relieve string tesion first, adjust the trust rod, then re re tune since the tension matters, and then remeasure?
Great video but under string radius gauges are more accurate bcuz they take string gage out of the equation but the regular radius gauge should be fine if it's all you have
Where should the saddle be when restring you're guitar
Isnt the Tremolo adjusted first?
Thank you for the informative video. I watched it especially to see if you have a solution for some issues I've had setting up my CV 50s Squier strat's action. I've tried to lower the action on this guitar to recommend values by Fender, Sweetwater, etc i.e about 1.2mm -1.6 mm at the 12th fret, but at those values there are many dead notes when bending at the high frets on the high E strins and a lot of buzz on the low E string, so it is impossible to play at those low actions. Even on the Squier manual itself they say that the Fender factory settings for the string heights at the 12th fret are : 0.098 inch (2.4892 mm) for the high E string and 0.12 inch (3.048 mm) for the low E string [These are even higher than Stevie Ray Vaughan's preferred actions), and that any problems caused by lowering the action will NOT be covered by Fender warranty. Also I've taken my Squier strat to some expert guitar techs but they all say that lowering the action of Squier strats to as low as 1.2 mm-1-5 mm will only cause dead notes and problems with SEVERE buzzes and bendings, so I had to accept a high action on this guitar. I'd appreciate your comments on this?
Thank you for reaching out to us! Can you email us at tech@musicnomad.com to discuss your instrument's specific setup with our tech team? Thank you.
Sure, will do. Many thanks.
I have a question. The tremolo springs tension should be adjusted with the strings in tune? Once we start working on the tremolo, the balance between strings tunning and the tremolo tension it's hard to get. If you know what i mean. Thanks
Hi Gustavo - yes, the guitar should be in tune when adjusting tremolo springs. We do know what you mean...it does take some back and forth between adjusting the tremolo string and tuning to dial it in.
@@MusicNomadCare Thank you
Proper setting of bridge if I don't use the tremolo?
Tighten the spring tension so the bridge sits flat on the body then adjust string action.
Is the line6 pedal board string tuner reliable to perform the tuning process?
Any tuner can be used, even clip-on tuners. They may not be as precise as a strobe tuner, but they will work for the tuning process.
i don't use trem on my stratocaster so i screw tight to the body, is it ok or has effects when bending strings.
Hi, Can you reach out to us at tech@musicnomad.com, and we will be able to discuss your instrument's specific needs. Thanks!
What is the difference between nomad guitar one and nomad guitar wax? Both are have wax right?
Guitar One is an all in one cleaner, polish, wax for gloss finish guitars.
Guitar Wax does not contain cleaners or polish and is only wax.
@@MusicNomadCare So which better?, use both or just one
Does this apply to any Stratocaster like Yamaha Pacifica??
Yes, This will work well for setting up a Yamaha Pacifica.
Fret buzz sucks, i prefer higher action settings than lower with that annoying noise that probably affect sustain
