How to Setup your Acoustic Guitar like a Pro - Full Tutorial

[@glenwardgross366]

Best video I have seen on this. No one ever told me about setting up a guitar. I best this is why I suck and it is setting in the corner in the house. This amazing.

Thanks, glad you liked it!

[@aethervortex]

I owe you a debt of gratitude that I could never repay. For those among us who love the beauty of the sound of acoustic guitars your information here is invaluable. You have reduced the perfection of the physics of the guitar to a level achievable to the average aficionado. Great job, whoever you are!

A tip I learned online for bridge pins; loosen the string then push it back down, under the bridge. This takes tension off the pin and it lifts out without any help.

[@popogejo7245]

Cut the slots in the pin holes like the ultra expensive ones have, and you'll never have to worry about stuck pins again, and the resonance will be much better also. Because the strings are resting up against the sound board, and not in the little notch

[@paulgrasso7849]

Love love love …… I have burnt my eyes and wasted many minutes watching from so so to mediocre videos for acoustic set up. I am so glad I stumbled across yours and became a subscriber. I have been in possession of and older Takamine left to me by an old friend for many years. The nut was missing, and the bridge was lifted had a split and a sloppy attempt glue repair oh the saddle had been pulled forward and was stuck in that position. So, I found what looked like a direct replacement by the measurements. I learned how to remove the bridge with a little heat and sure enough it had been originally glued to the lacquer. I also ordered a bone saddle and nut. Well, the pin holes were off, so I filled with a wood epoxy and plan to redrill … not there yet. I think what I have learned here will be a big help moving forward. Thanks, if all goes well, I will send an update lol.

[@francoamerican4632]

After adjusting the string height at the nut It's advisable to sand the top of the nut so about 1/2 of the string diameter protrudes above the top of the nut. This prevents the strings from binding in the nut slot when tuning and when doing string bends.

[@jcarstmusic]

I might try my own setup on an acoustic for the first time strictly based on this video. Excellent work my friend. Thank you so much for your knowledge and video skills.

[@InspiringTracks]

Best setup video out there by far. Straight to the point, shows what to look for, and how to actually set the guitar up.

[@InspiringTracks]

Thanks, glad you liked it!!

[@brandonmusich]

Great Video! This actually helped me a ton! The only comment I have is that if you sand down your saddle by 1.5mm (as an example only) the strings lower by 1.5mm. Not sure where the idea of it only lowers it by 1/2 of what you sand down came from but just wanted to let someone know that so that you aren't afraid to remove what is needed. Initially I measured my 6th string at 3.5mm at the 12th fret and then my 1st string at 3.25mm at the 12th fret. My target was 2mm at the 6th and 1.75 at the 1st string so I needed to shave off 1.5mm from the saddle to get to where I needed to be. I sanded off 1.5mm and my action was PERFECT at 2mm and 1.75mm respectively! Just follow the steps of this AWESOME video and you will be successful!

[@eronackerman565]

I thought the saddle reduction had to be double the 12th-fret action because the 12th fret is the halfway point of the strings. Since the strings angle on a downward slope from the bridge to the headstock, the distance between the string and the fretboard at the halfway point should naturally be half as high as where the string meets the saddle. I don't want to question your measurements, but do you think the results may be related to the position of the truss rod in your guitar?

[@Therapyxx]

As I understood and also it must be like this geometricaly - if you want to lower the action by 1.5mm you have to cut the saddle for 3mm just take a blank paper and make a points at A: X, Y (0, 0) - B: (6, 4). And make the 3rd point exactly in the middle at C: (3, 2). Then lower the action by 2mm"s it will change the point B: from (6, 4) to (6, 2) and take a look how high will be the new point C (the middle) it will be exaclty at the half of cutted amount (from 3, 2 to 3, 1)

[@robwilson1140]

Only one thing I would do differently is check string action before adjusting nut height. It’s a lot easier to replace a saddle if filed too low than having to replace the nut because of open string fret buzz.

[@williamb4652]

He’s doing string action without a capo I think? This means that it depends on the nut…..so if you then adjust your nut slots it will screw up your action

[@price5560]

Finally a video I can understand about setups without 45+ mins or more of rambling or useless information 🤦‍♂️. Got any videos on setting intonation?

[@williamb4652]

Can you even set intonation on an acoustic?

Ciao, i am writing from Italy. Thanks a lot for such easily understandable explaination. I try this afternoon and i will keep you updated!!!

[@garybeckwithmusic]

this is great. i've been playing guitar for decades and my acoustics get out of whack all the time and I can't afford to go running to the luthier every time i need an adjustment. I wanted to learn how to set up my guitar on my own and I am following this video as a guide. so far so good. I knew something wasn't right, and the video helped me determine the saddle is way too high. i'm going to sand it down tonight and see how it goes!

[@InspiringTracks]

Good luck! Remember to measure twice and sand once! Dont rush it and take all the time you need

[@garybeckwith]

@@InspiringTracks thanks, i'm working on a plan to make sure I sand it evenly. I have an oscillating sander tool, i think i will use that to start and then change to manual on a flat surface. my string height was 3.25 mm!

[@garybeckwith]

@@InspiringTracks thanks! i actually broke the saddle, trying to get it out without removing the strings! but I glued it back together for temporary, and i ordered a new on that just arrived. the guitar is WAY better now already.... in the next couple days I'm going to put the new one in and make sure it's the right height. thanks again.

I like the Black Smith 80/20 Bronze Extra Light 10/47 strings that you showed. Currently, the strings that I have on my acoustic guitar are way to heavy of a gauge and causing me to apply way too much finger pressure. Thanks for sharing great setup video. I appreciate you.

Thank you so much for this! Great quality content. I really like the 3d print idea. I wonder if wood filament would turn out better than the PLA or ABS shown.

Thanks! I'll add a little recomendation about 0000 wool, thanks for the remeinder! There's really no risk of damage with something coarser but certinly you'll need to work more later to polish the frets and leave everything shiny. And i'm glad you liked the bag idea!

Great video. My daughter has just started guitar lessons at school and I'm looking to find her a good beginner guitar without spending too much in case she doesn't stick with it. The thing I've noticed in many reviews of various brands is that they often need tweaking and setting up especially at the lower price ranges. I'm fairly sure that I could do what you've shown in this video if I needed to but I may just get a shop to do it. Any recommendations for a guitar would be much appreciated. Currently considering things like the Yamaha 310 and that lower price range.

[@jackhowland3737]

I've been playing since I was a teen. I currently own, have owned and have played, a number of high end and custom made guitars . But I just love cheap guitars that sound good and are easy to play. My favorite hands down is the Ibanez Art Wood series. They retail new around $230 but can be had used in the $110-$150 range. I just bought another used one for $110 off eBay with free shipping and I can't wait to get my hands on it. Put some Elixir poly web or nano web light strings on it and she'll play. Frankly I favorably compare the feel and playability of them to the Martin D & HD-28s and the D-16 which I now own. That ain't too bad a crowd to be with is it?

[@bradwilliams7145]

Thank you for the informative video and the bonus. Cool ✌🏽🎸🎶

[@davismillard3822]

When you’re measuring your relief and your action hold the guitar in the playing position. I have an expensive set of nut slot files AND the torch tip files you used, they work really well! I use René Martínez “Nut Sauce” in the slots. He was Stevie Ray Vaughan’s guitar tech and he’s excellent. Google his name, you’ll find his site. And just to repeat the most important detail of setting up your guitar: as the guy said go SMALL steps. It’s easier to take off a little more than to have to cut a whole new nut! Also always check for free buzz by playing each string up the neck and see if it’s buzzy. Sometimes you have to sacrifice perfect action to get rid of the buzz. Go slow, go far!

Nice video. The 3D printed saddles were cool too. One of my favorite parts was that technique for removing the saddle. I like the order and flow of your setup process as well as the care you exercise. I think you could call it the Zen of setting up an acoustic. I am curious to know why you didn't use lemon oil on the fret board or polish on the body. Is it possible to overuse lemon oil?

[@fenderman7596]

Not sure about the Dremel tool to shave the bridge? One slip..DONE saddle required. Slow on level sanding block for me. Nice video, well done.

[@BobGnarley.]

Nice Washburn. Just got a WD10S myself and was thinking of filing the saddle a touch.. only thing is im not sure if years of playing electric has made me forget what it feels like to play an Acoustic lol. Maybe am just chasing that hyper low action that is unrealistic on a good sounding acoustic. Still it definitely requires more effort than im used to putting in at this point

[@InspiringTracks]

You'll be surprised how much more easy is to play an acoustic with the right string height at the nut, specially while playing chords. I'll start checking that If I was you

[@lockhartzzz]

Great video! I just did this exact same process on my first nice acoustic, a Taylor. Factory setup was 2.5mm, but it felt too high for my taste, so I sanded the bridge down a bit to get it down to 2mm, much improved! Although using a dremel is smart, took me forever to do by hand XD

[@InspiringTracks]

That's great, enjoy your Taylor! Dremel is fast but also a little bit risky, in a nice guitar like yours and for a small adjustment I think I'll also use only sandpaper. Cheers!

[@Ciscoho]

One detail I read from luthiers is when winding the strings through the posts, make sure the wounds are on TOP so that the string is at a correct angle to the nut. I think I saw that this was a bit inconsistent in the video. Not sure if this is true or makes a difference though. It's just something I read. Good video though !

[@InspiringTracks]

Thanks! There's not much difference in winding up or down. As long as you don't make a mess and keep all the windings nice and not overlapping each other, then tunning stability will be fine. It's kind of like the "top wrap" on Gibson Tune-o-matic bridges, just a personal prefference that doesn't have much real world impact. Cheers!

[@nikkowood7465]

Is the steel wool mandatory? I've seen people just use a soft cloth and lemon oil, have you tried that method before? And if so can you explain why you prefer the method you use. Trying to find the best way to do it, but I like to know the why behind it haha

[@InspiringTracks]

SW wool is just one of the many methods out there. It's by far the messier but I found it works wonderful on very dirty boards. Other people use razor blades or naphtha but I don't like to use solvents or sharp objects. If your guitar has only the light dirt from a couple months between string changes then a soft cloth and some lemon oil should be more than enoug. You can also use some fret erasers to polish the frets and you are good to go.

[@jennyomalley7634]

Very good , thanks for your video.

[@sampurpura8787]

This is a great straight forward video. Thank you for sharing !! Can you tell me if the settings would change for 11's ?? I use 11's and I wonder how much different the settings would be? I used your helpful settings and I believe the nut needs to be replaced as the g string has almost no gap and the saddle has the strings too high. I believe it was set up with 12's. Thanks again !!

[@dalemullen96]

Wouldn't it have been a better to do all the measurements, adjustments, etc. before putting new strings on. That way, before cleaning the guitar, all measuring, filing and other adjustments could have been made using the old stings. Then the old strings could have been removed, the guitar thoroughly cleaned, and then the new strings put on, with little left to do other than fine adjustments and tuning, on the newly cleaned guitar. Just a thought...

[@williamb4652]

Maybe tension in new strings is different from tension in the old worn stretched rusty dirty strings, which might affect the neck? Just guessing. But I see your point.

Eventhough it seems no gap, but it should be enough to move slightly a little. But you should also able to create similar sound when you do the tapping like in the video demonstration

If you adjust the truss before setting the saddle and nut depths do you need to go back and re-adjust the truss?

[@elprup2011]

Hey thanks for putting this up man. Clear & concise. Great music as well! I have a question... When adjusting the string action (by trimming or raising the saddle). the string length from nut to saddle will lengthened or shorten; however minute; depending on whats done. Is this correct? And thus will affect its intonation. Is there a work-around to this? I've actually done a saddle height trim once before and took off about 1mm from the bottom. The intonation was spot on before I made the adjustment. With the trimmed saddle installed, intonation went to shxt! I couldn't figure out what went wrong and my best guess was the change in string length. BTW, that was the last time I will ever try to set up an acoustic guitar lol

[@InspiringTracks]

Glad you liked the video! And that's an excelent question! Since there's no way to easily adjust intonation on an acoustic never tought about that. What you said makes sense but in my experience never noticed a significant change in intonation. Since isn't that common to play high notes on an acoustic I think isn't a big deal

[@mjaldrich7]

Great video but I don't understand the difference between adjusting truss rod/neck relief and the action on a guitar. Seems like the same thing?

[@davismillard3822]

Not the same at all. Relief is not for action, it sets the fretboard into the proper shape to accommodate the arc a string makes when played, less movement at the ends, more in the middle of its length. Action is set by adjusting the saddle. If you use the neck relief to assist your action you end up (more than likely) increasing the relief and bringing the string to high off the middle frets. Then your notes will play sharp. Measure your relief and adjust it, that will remain the same, it’s set by the straight line of the string between the first and 12th fret. Too long, sorry!
