Читать книгу Billy Penn's Guitar Set Up Guide - Billy Ph.D. Penn - Страница 5

There are 4 parts to this set up guide.

Part 1: Removing strings, overall check, cleaning then re-string.

Part 2: Adjusting the truss rod, setting the radius and setting action.

Part 3: Setting the intonation.

Part 4: Adjusting pickups.

Some of the information in the guide will only apply to electric guitars and some only to acoustic guitars. I will address the special needs of setting up electric guitars that have a locking bridge and nut system (Floyd Rose for example) in a separate upcoming ebook. Make sure to use the information that pertains to your individual instrument. I will make notes along the way for each type of guitar and also include some tips and tricks I have picked up over the past 20+ years during my journey as a guitar player and tech.

I cannot stress the importance of a good set up enough. It makes no difference if your guitar is very expensive or moderately priced. Your guitar playing potential can be limited by a guitar that is out of adjustment and not set up properly. Imagine having your car for one, two, five or ten years and never changing the fluids, servicing the motor or brakes but only changing tires. Your car would barely run, if at all! Your guitar is like this, it needs more than new strings and a tuning and it can feel and play at it’s best only if you take the time to give it the TLC any guitar deserves.

Take your time to read this book and apply what you learn, you and your guitar will be thankful!
