What’s your best setup tip? Edit: For those saying to measure from the fret rather than the neck, I am accounting for that adjustment with the measurement by adding a couple 32's, as you can see on the ruler itself. Sorry if that was unclear!

You have no idea how much this helped me. No one else has been as clear as you were on a proper setup.

As a beginner, this helped me set up my 2 strat knockoffs, I changed cables to the amp and am getting good tone. Learning by ear and trying to read TAB, scales, theory etc., is fun, only if my arthritis would cooperate, it's become my new physical therapy! Helps to keep my mind off of pain, almost meditation like, finding that zone, takes you to another place. Thx for great tutorials.

I have been doing my own set up for years, but my friend, you have created the most thorough instruction video on guitar set up I have ever seen. Wonderful mini tips.

Your cleaning supplies cost more than my setup

When you measure the height of the string you're suppose to measure from the top of the fret.

Anything can be easy when you have the right tools. Make sure you invest in your setup tools and don't cheap out.

Just a heads up when tightening the control pots and the output jack. Make sure you stabilize them from the back to stop them from spinning! Otherwise, there is a good chance you'll break a wire inside.

Just rebuilt my Epiphone LP custom with EMG Het Set and then realized I can’t get it to the shop for set up because it’s still closed.
This video just saved me big time.. never done a set up by myself. Just followed exactly the steps and it is 100 times better than I thought. I’m wondering how bad my set up has been for the last 10 years.
Thanks Tyler, spent the money on a subscription to guitar super system instead to help support the channel and learn some more theory!
Keep up the great work!

I've been doing all my work on my guitars for years now and there isn't much I'm not comfortable doing but still watches these videos and I always find something I didn't know or a small tick that I may of forgotten.

I've been wanting to find an all-encompassing setup video like this one for a while now, so thanks for taking the time to make it! I've been playing for about a decade now, I guess it's time I learn to take care of my own guitars other than just changing out strings.

I'd always been afraid to touch the screws on the bridge, or (gasp!) the truss rod. Thanks to following your tips, my Washburn that I bought new in 1999 sounds *better* than it did when it was new! Now I have to do my other, newer guitars that now sound... not as good in comparison! Understanding what everything actually does was key for me, so again, thank you for the excellent tutorial!

This is easily one of the best setup videos I’ve seen. I love the camera angles on the truss rod adjustment.
