Uploaded in 2011, helped me in 2019. Proof that both a good guitar and good lessons will last, regardless of where they come from.

Awesome video. I took my strat into the shop and it came back worse than when it went in. This video helped me set it up myself and it plays like a dream again.

This video helped me over 10 years ago. And it will help me out again all these years later. Thanks again Frudua. Always in my favourites.

I'm watching this Nov. 2020, and it's almost 2021... Almost 10 years Sir and still your video is helpful 🙂

String Height 101. Never knew the details of adjusting height of the strings until I've seen this. Thats quality setup right there.

[alanludlow]

what a guy, i've been playing 44 years, and after watching this guy, i feel i should go back to music school, this tutorial has REALLY opened my eyes to the "correct" set up of string height adjustment, thank you for your advice!!

[lerch]

I used to think of this as some kind of black magic, but i just did the best set up iive ever had on my guitar, and did it myself. Thats very empowering, Thanks from New York. :)

I love this guy...He just showed me that music is not the universal language, the *Stratocaster* is!

This dude gives the most easily digestible, yet in-depth explanations.

This is absolutely wonderful. I've been playing guitars equipped with Floyd Rose temolos for years, and know that system like the back of my hand. However, I just recently picked up a standard strat for myself, and for the life of me just couldn't get the height/setup adjusted correctly. It's wierd how a video like this helped me to actually "get it." Thank you very much for the help. You're really good at providing good visual references.

It's impossible to achieve perfect results every time without understanding how things really work, so thanks for sharing the knowledge, Galeazzo! It's nice to know all the tricks in the trade as well, so thanks to the commentators. The more knowledge the better.

Players who have flawless technique and total mastery of the instrument, can (and should) be very hard to please. That doesn't mean they're impossible to please. I guarantee only a handful of people know how to make the final tweaks on their guitars to make them play perfectly. (And of course, good strat action includes just the right amount of "fight".)

Setting up decent action takes like five minutes, that's just too easy. The nice tricks that people have been talking about here tend to fall in the next category: good results with high-action-low-feel and medium-action-high-feel. That's good. But ladies and gentlemen, if someone would give you a guitar that has the action of extreme comfort on every level - balance in all areas - set up by a pro's pro.. I promise you would notice the difference.

 Let us learn from Galeazzo and appreciate his helpful instruction!

It's almost 2020 and you saved my life, my strat now plays awesome, all thanks to you!

[LukasDozer]

Hey I'm watching in July of 2024 and this video has helped me out 100%. I now think I have the confidence to try this on my brand new guitar as I'm only trying to lower one of my strings. I want to thank you for making this video!
-Cheers

[jennifermay]

This is by far the MOST HELPFUL! I'm a nerd for details and this video is precisely that! Thank you so very much!!

Hi, I have been using the tremlo flat to the body. Today, i adjusted the tremlo to one eighth of an inch from the body(like fender recomends) and things have improved. I have noticed the string height has increased slightly, but the tension is slightly better. I dont use the Tremlo at all, but i think i will leave it alone for now, and see how it goes. Maybe i should swop it for a Clapton Strat! Thanks for your help. Tony

[kamealex]

U made my day. 9 years after, but still.

[colivet]

Wow you are a star my friend messed about with my guitar changed the hight of the strings and the whole set set up basically.And i have not been able to play it for months, now i've gone through your set up video it sounds better than ever thanks you've made me so happy ;)

[habibiak]

Ok so I have tried this method as well as the method mentioned by some viewers to use a credit card at the 12th fret. Guess what ? On both occasions I ended up with low E being 2mm above 17th fret and high E 1.6 mm, which is exactly the measurements recommended by fender. I used feeler gauge to measure the action so it's pretty damn accurate.

I've now watched five different videos about this, and you are the only person (who I've seen) who advises people to lower the pickups first. 👍 Thank you for a thorough explanation and demonstration.
