Considering that in this time and age, where guitar manufacturing goes out of control so much, which affects the guitars' quality control, learning how to set-up your guitar, is both time & money saver. Love your video, Phil.

My "TRAIN" system is very similar: Tune, Relief, Action, Intonation, Nap.

[Antonio_Ortiz]

Dude, this video is gold. I never even knew this was needed on a guitar. I just played a couple of Squires out of the box and wondered why it was such a pain.

This video and the older one where you use different picks to determine string height are the BEST quick guides to setting up your guitar. Thanks for the great content!

[peterdebad]

Thanks for revisiting this Phil. I have gone back to the video you made with Mr. Thorn and really enjoy seeing how he sets up guitars. Thanks again, have a great week and stay safe .

That ron thorn video is still one of my favorites you've ever done.

Thank you for this Phil !! This 5 minutes can save a person many hours and frustrations !! Easy to understand explained in a straight forward way by an intelligent yet humble person. Love everything you do Phil !! You’re one of the greats on here bro !! 🤙🏼

I've recommended the original video several times in guitar groups on facebook and have told them to skip ahead to 9 minutes and whatever it was. Thanks for making it shorter and more easily accessible. You're the man!!

[petelamothe]

I like it!! Great picture quality. That LP light looks amazing.

[zaz]

Glad you did a video on the order. When I first seen the Fender guy say that I replayed that part of the video many many times to memorise that.

[Rompler_Rocco]

I've been using TRAIN on multiple guitars since seeing your video with Ron, and it's a lifesaver! With the addition of Nut, this should forever be an essential part of guitar ethos 👍

Need to note that after making any of the adjustments in ‘R’, ‘A’, ‘I’, or Nut, you need to constantly re-Tune the strings and re-check!

I have been using this acronym since the original video and it has made my guitar maintenance way more methodical

[josephbecerra]

I can't tell you how many times I keep coming back to this video!!! Thanks!!

[LordDeShadow]

Its been almost 15 years since I stop playing and what started by a simple clean up and strings replacement is now a full overhaul.

I realized that beginners guitars are cheap and doesn't sound well because no one gave them love.

It's a really usefull video man!

[Jaudatali]

Love your channel! Thank you for everything! Would love a video of you setting up a cheap guitar following this order (+ maybe a few other maintenance tips)

[JReyes]

Thank you so much for this! I'm going to be basically restoring an old beat up guitar and this is going to help so much once I replace the components.

[JohnOhkumaThiel]

Before I even bought my first Stratocaster, you taught me everything I needed to know, and I built my own perfect, custom guitar on your instructions. Best guitar I ever played, mine, because of you. Thank you so much.

[neiljohn]

Thanks for all your hard work Phil. Keep it up and stay safe bro 😉🤘

[chrisggoodwin]

I got a new bass with high action, even with the saddles all the way down. The intonation was also off at the 12th fret. I recalled this video, and sure enough, a small truss rod adjustment fixed both the action and the intonation. Thanks for the practical application videos!
