Maybe a bit beyond your target audience for basic set up, but neck radius can play a big role is setting action (particularly for old Fenders with a neck radius of 7.25 inches - not so much an issue with flatter radiused necks). Its not enough to make sure your string doesn't buzz (beyond what you can tolerate) when straight. If your playing style includes bends, make sure you can do the bends you want to do without "fretting out" before you settle on the action. Also, although you did it, your didn't mention that intonation is best done holding a guitar in a playing position (especially a trem guitar). For that matter, so is saddle height adjustments.

Thanks for the additional infos Donald!! I agree of course. The only reason I didn't talk about fretting out on round fretboards, is because there are literally no affordable guitars with a 7.25" radius. That's more of a thing to consider when going for mid priced Mexican Fenders and above (custom shops, etc). As for the intonation: you're 100% right, intonation setups are more precise when done in playing position. Thanks again! //Kris

How do I set up my Dobro?? The spider rattles bad on one leg and the bridge spider just sits (bolted to) on a floating cone?? do I just string it up and move stuff around by pushing it with a pencil or something till the intonation is close to correct, cause that’s what I did?!?. Do I try to reshape the cone so the rattling leg of the spider makes tighter contact or … I should probably get a book. And learn how to play slide, yea I definitely need a book and probably a teacher, but any advice would be greatly appreciated. Metal guitars 🤘🏽

Truss rod adjustments should be accurate, not eyeballs or based on feel but a feeler gauge and set to a given spec. This then facilitates better results when adjusting the bridge for action which is what sets the feel of a guitar. Any other way, you're just never gonna get the best out of your setups.
@ThomannsGuitarsBasses3 жыл бұрын
Hey Tony, for a beginner I'd say eyeballing it with the right way of checking it (as shown in the video) is way better than being overwhelmed by all the numbers and measurements. That freaks beginners out and then they just don't set up their guitars at all. That's the worst that could happen. Also important piece of info: most of the star guitar techs I've talked to had to search for their notes to tell me the neck relief. They don't even know it by heart, because they never measure it anymore. They check the relief the same way I do it and adjust it based on feel. Measurements are very important of course, but in many cases experienced techs will work based on feel. Again, there's no general right or wrong. It all depends on the circumstances. Cheers //Kris

@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses nah. As a tech I disagree. If a player isn't gonna check neck relief accurately and correctly then they are best off leaving it alone. It's impossible to eyeball the relief required, usually 0.002 to 0.010" depending on the guitar. You mention 1mm. If you're talking such big measurements and you have a relief of over 1mm, you got some truss rod turning to do. Do it right or leave it alone I say.

While I respect your opinion I tend to disagree with using truss rod to adjust action..a lot of new players don't understand that there's a set measurement range of neck relief and they just start cranking the truss rod to lower the action and create a mess...
