Why continually pay lots of money for EACH guitar you own EVERY time to set it up when you can learn to do it yourself.

All you need is some direction, a few simple, cheap, and easy to find tools, some patience and you will be ready to rock!

WATCH THIS VIDEO to see what this course is all about:

Have you noticed that your guitar does not play nearly as well as it used to?

Does it seem that your guitar strings have gotten pretty high off the fret board, making it hard to play?

Does your guitar keep going out of tune even though you continually tune it?

Have you noticed that your guitar has started to buzz?

Have you not played your guitar, or one of your guitars, in a long time and
it has just been sitting in its case for months or years?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions then your guitar is probably in need of a set-up. No matter what guitar you play, most guitars will greatly benefit from a killer set up.

A guitar set-up is a methodical series of adjustments that need to be performed periodically on every instrument to get it to play and perform its absolute best. Not everyone plays guitar the same way. Different guitarists with different playing styles need different setups. Some players like 'em high, some like 'em low. The set-up adjusts the instrument to the specific playing preferences of the guitarist.

Throughout this course you will learn:

• How to properly change your guitar strings
• How to properly stretch the strings so they stay in tune
• How to adjust the truss rod and make adjustments for neck relief
• All about string saddles and string height to get the action just how you like it
• All about nut height and nut height adjustments
• How to file a nut properly to get the nut height dialed in perfect
• All about how humidity, climate, and moisture effect your acoustic
• How to set the guitar intonation so your guitar plays in tune all over the neck
• Proper procedures to sand down saddles to get the action set up just right so your guitar will play like butter!
• How to properly clean your guitar body and neck and what products work best

Keeping your guitar maintained and set up will protect your investment for the future!

Setting the guitar up properly will result in a guitar that is easier to play, sounds better, feels much more comfortable, and feels much more "you"!

A guitar has moving parts and needs to be maintained and adjusted regularly to keep the instrument in top notch playing form. It all depends on how much you play, but many players get their guitars set up once a year.

The set up can adjust the guitar to play as per the player’s individual preferences. And remember that keeping your guitar maintained and set up will protect your investment for the future!

Great set ups by qualified guitar technicians or experienced luthiers are expensive. A set-up can runs anywhere from $40-$85, sometimes even more if additional work is needed. And start doubling those numbers if you have multiple guitars.

Often even brand new guitars are not set up very well. I can’t tell you how many times I picked up a brand new guitar in a retail music store and the guitar just does not play well at all – and these are BRAND NEW instruments.

Often you will find some new guitars at music stores that play terribly. And that could be from all the playing and bouncing around it goes through at the music store or possibly that the adjustments were knocked out of whack during the shipping process. During travel the new guitar may have gone through climate & humidity changes. These differences in the weather can throw off the playability of the guitar.

Guitars are made of wood and wood is hydroscopic - meaning it’s continually taking on and letting off moisture. This makes the wood shrink and expand. In the end your instrument may not play the way it was intended.

It seems that there are some guitar manufacturers that don't take the adequate time to properly perform all the necessary adjustments. And often even when they do, the set-up is very general and aimed at the "average" player, rather than the specific preferences of the individual player. As a result, a factory-built guitar will come with what some call a “compromise” setup, one designed to please as many guitarists as possible.

There is nothing more discouraging than a guitar that doesn't play well, or one that is uncomfortable to play. Get the most from your instrument and improve the playability by learning to properly maintain and setup your guitar with our instructional lessons.

So there is no guarantee that the brand new guitar you just plunked down your hard earned cash for will play the way you like it. But fear not as all it may need is a basic set-up.
