OK KZbinrs. Take Note! THIS is how you do a tutorial video! No need for flashy intros, or trailing off the subject or trying to be overly humorous. Just organize the content ahead of time and not try to wing it. Get straight to the point and offer close-up shots of the actions to be taken. Very nice job sir! Kudos! I have been balking on buying some of the setup tools for my acoustic, but I think I'll invest so I can make my own adjustments. Thank you!

Holy moly, it's about time someone posted a video that can talk THE ENTIRE process of adjusting an acoustic WITHOUT talking over someones head. This dude is an absolute pro. Smartly articulated and the visual aids are spot on. This guy wants you to succeed at adjusting your own stuff. The use of some clever techniques I'm already familiar with but never thought to apply the way he does is incredibly helpful. For once, I actually feel like I can attempt to maintenance an acoustic without issue. An absolutely outstanding job on this video! By far the best I've seen to date.

I had an acoustic that felt really stiff to play as he was describing in this video. After doing what he demonstrates in this video, I measured that my action at the bridge was 1.25mm too high, so I followed his process to sand down the bridge to lower the action and it's like a totally different guitar. Plays so much easier. What a well done video! Thank you StewMac, this was extremely helpful.

Simple and direct instructions and examples with very good photography ( I think that's the first time I've ever said that on KZbin) is what makes this tutorial stand out. I bought an acoustic that I really love, from a guy who had it set up with 12 gauge strings, which I really don't love and I am going to go back down to 10's. I know this will cause all kinds of buzz if I don't adjust at least the truss rod and possibly the nut. After watching this video I feel confident that I can make the adjustment on my acoustic, just as I have on my electrics.

I had played years ago, and had stopped to raise a family. In 2009 I'd had a stroke that left my right hand not working so well. For therapy I picked up a Mitchell D100 MD for $100 bucks. After a while knew it needed some work. So I sanded down the saddle and worked the nut. One night I was doing an open mix and there were some luthiers from Bourgeois guitars.(crafted about two miles from my house) Everyone played that Mitchell all night and were surprised at what I'd done to it and how well it played and sounded.

I have a 1972 Sigma / Martin (Japan) Acoustic that I am just learning on as I'm a beginner. I checked the action and found it to be very high which I thought would not help my left hand as they had to press on the strings very firmly. I adjusted the truss rod and put in a new bone saddle in which I sanded down for a low action. The result is fantastic. The Guitar not only is easier to play but sounds excellent. I'll just have to put the hours in now and learn to play :) Thank you once again. Warren (Kalgoorlie Australia)
@ellam3nno Жыл бұрын
Thank you! This is super helpful - So many new students come in with terrible cheap guitars that their parents buy online. They don't know that they need to be set up and the truss rods are always completely loose for shipping, the plastic nut is always too tall... Making these adjustments on them makes them at least playable. They still don't sound amazing, but definitely much better, and makes it possible to learn on without getting injuries, or quitting immediately because they're just too hard to play and sound awful!
@IndianaDoug5 жыл бұрын
Great video! Couple of things to mention if I may: String gauge will have an impact on truss rod tension, also its not advised adjusting this while strings are off. Another little cool trick: when setting intonation, the distance between the nut and the 12th fret, should measure the same distance as the bridge and the 12th fret. Lastly, a quick intonation check can be simply making a harmonic at the 12th fret, then comparing the tone to the note on the 12th fret of the same string; should be the same. Hope this helps!
@glennsprigg2378 Жыл бұрын
Doug, you are right!... Especially your last sentence about the 12th fret harmonics!! I used to always have a comb in my pocket for my hair, and if in a guitar shop, (especially 2nd hand ones!), I would use the back edge of my comb lightly touching the strings after first plucking the strings, to check the harmonics. (The Perfect 5th 3rd harmonic on the 7th fret, is a good one too!!)... In one shop, they approached me saying they've never seen a guitar checked with a comb before!! hahahaha.....

First thing half an octave out of tune. Once this was done the tention on the neck was lessoned to better. 1/8 turn loosining the rod, tuning and better again. One more time adj and tune and its actually much much better. I moved on to my 5 string and did the same. Played them and checked. Great. Now my musition friend said oh you shouldnt adjust that. To late. Now the bridges on both guitars are readjusted and very playable. When i work on the frets and flatten them ill continue watching your videos.

The services StewMac provides is absolutely awesome! you can order the tools online and they ship internationally, i haven't seen any other website where i could find tools especially for international ordering.
