Mark you are amazing! I was afraid to set up the guitar by myself but with your tutorial I set up the guitar successfully and now I really enjoy playing the guitar! Thanks!! <3

[yipitsrose]

Wow you really went thru all that trig to give us an accurate calculation. Respect!

[wewannatry]

Grabeng tutorial to walang ibang kwento focus lang sa mismong ginagawa good job sir!

You just need to remove two times the amount of material on the saddle with however much you want to reduce the action at the 12th fret (e.g. you want to lower the action at the 12th by 2/64, then shave off 4/64 at the saddle)

Great information. I started doing all my own guitar work, about 8 years ago. I would Add 1 thing = the usage of a Fret Rocker, if there is just a "trouble spot" and not affecting the Entire Guitar. Also when making Any adjustments - be sure to go Little-by-little. Enjoyed your video. Stay Safe. oNe LovE from NYC

How is this guy at such a young age has all these knowledge!?! Thanks much for the great content!

Salamat Po! You’re the best person I’ve to reach the basics of measuring and fabrication of guitar parts. Many videos are extensive in description, but you lay out nice and simple for me! Sana masagana ang pag tae mou!

A well produced and informative video. I have watched many instructional videos on intonation and guitar action which have helped me lower my action and improve playability, but this is the best I have seen to date and the additional detail i.e. measurement at the bridge and adjustment of the saddle using your Excel calculation is so useful Thank you Mark.

thanks man, I fixed my new/old Yamaha with a truss rod adjustment. You just saved me $75 bucks that I thought I'd have to spend for s set up! Plays perfect now!

[thinkaboutzu]

[BuyoganExtendedStories]

Finally matagal ko na itong gustong malaman. Guitar action pala tawag dito. Kaya pala masakit ang ibang gitara laruin kasi mataas ang guitar action

[myheromybaby]

2yrs ago na 'ting vid, pero ngayon ko lang napanood. Malaking tulong sakin. Maraming salamat master 😅

Being a beginner and suddenly getting a buzzing high E I had thought my guitar had failed.
Thanks to your tutorial I learned about camber.
BOOM
fixed the problem.
Thank you

My old guitar teacher use to say . "Never lower action on acoustic guitar, makes your fingers stronger if you have to press far . One day you will maybe own the ultimate axe, your fingers will say thankyou, now is time to relax . "

[butchhernandez]

salamat!!!, I've been using my acoustic guitar for almost 2 years, in-adjust ko na yung truss rod ko, mataas pa rin action, malaking tulong sa 'kin yung calculator thingy para sa desired action na gusto ko, siguro naman sapat na yung experience ko para bawasan na yung action ng gitara ko ngayon.

nice video btw. 👍

[premierfuncasino]

Clear, concise, digestible ..the best I've seen online...Thank you!
