How to set up an electric guitar - Telecaster PICKUP HEIGHT Adjustment

[@christiebratherton9188]

ace video 💙you've just saved me the cost of a string action gauge! thank you

[@D..A..N..E]

I highly value the emphasis on the order of operations. Happy to report that I successfully set up my Telecaster by following your Setup Playlist, and I now feel more connected to the guitar. Thank you for your efforts! :)

So much knowledge! You're absolutely adorable as well!

[@thseed7]

I'm definitely using the tape trick. Way easier than juggling a ruler, screwdriver and holding down a string at the last fret.

[@Bandforge]

I prefer it, too! Another plus is that you don't run the risk of scratching your pickup covers (if it's a Tele)… ;)

[@BriantheLionNZ]

Wow. Well, this old dog learned a bit today. The hum thing you mentioned has bothered me for years. I tried to put the. Pickups closer to the. Strings to get a louder signal to noise lol. Thanks for taking the time to put together an excellent video.

[@tendingtropic7778]

yes please, a video on hum would be awesome

[@Bandforge]

Absolutely! It's on my list! ;)

Great video! Very informative and helpful for guitarists like me who are just now starting to "get their feet wet" with the technical aspect of guitars! :)

[@Bandforge]

Thank you very much! xD

Love the hardhat...

[@sanjaybalachandran]

Very informative and detailed video thank you!

[@КтухКозинакович]

Thank you! I bought affinity tele, but it made in Indonesia.

[@Bandforge]

Is it a string through body construction? A new 2021 model will be available in about six weeks. Maybe you're lucky and you already got it! :)

[@КтухКозинакович]

@@Bandforge no,it was made in january 2020,and string connected to bridge. But it is a good guitar,i like it)

[@everythingguitars]

What's your preferred height setting on your neck pickup on your affinity telecaster. I've just taken mine down to about 5mm from the strings. Yes weaker but clearer

[@Bandforge]

I've played with the lowest possible setting for quite a while and than moved up to about 2mm. I liked both settings and enjoy changing them once in a while for variety or when I switch amps. ;)

[@voqz6667]

@@Bandforge what about the bridge one?

[@dannythemedic]

HEr: here is what the heights offer! ... ME: they all sound the same!

[@Bandforge]

Hahaha! xD Did you try headphones? It's a subtle difference, that's true!

[@Pappysan]

Maybe you should stick with a kazoo...?

[@pmay222]

what about the bridge pup..?

Um…what about the bridge pickup? Who uses a Telecaster for the neck pickup?

[@ronnynast]

The tele neck pickup is one of the best clean sounds a guitar can make!!

[@josephstacy8678]

I like 10s

[@bugrauzer]

bravaaaaa... :)

[@volkerschmoll4731]

Get 2,5 mm distance both. That's enough for a beautiful sound.😂😂
