***Update***
I’ve misplaced the decimal point in the neck relief tables! They should read:
“: “
9.5“ to 12“: “
15“ to 17“: “
Setting up your electric guitar can completely change how it feels and sounds for the better! In this video, I’ll show you my easy step-by-step method to setup an electric guitar.
Here’s a link to everything I use in this video (links to Amazon - as an Amazon Associate, I’ll earn a small commission on qualifying purchases!):
Tools required:
- a phillips head screwdriver
- a ruler that can measure in 64ths of an inch
- a hex key that’s the right size for your truss rod
- Either a hex key (for Strat style bridges) or flathead screwdriver (for tune-o-matic bridges)
- A capo
- A set of feeler gauges
- a set of new guitar strings
- A guitar tuner (one that can take a direct signal from your guitar)
I’m using the GrooveTech Stagehand Guitar Tech Kit which includes everything I’m using except the truss rod hex key, strings, and tuner.
