ELEC TRIC GUITAR SET- UP
To put your guitar in top playing shape, follow the
five steps presented here. First, you’ll need the
right tools:
• Set of automotive feeler gauges (.002-.025)
• 6” ruler (with 1/64” increments) and tape measure
• Set of Allen wrenches
• Phillips head screwdriver
• Electronic tuner
• Wire cutters
• String winder
• Light machine oil (3-in-1, model train or gun oil)
• Polish and cloth
• Capo
Note: The following factory specifications are median
specs and are meant only as guidelines. They should not
be taken as hard-and-fast rules. If you prefer slightly higher
or lower action, adjust it as you like, but please be aware
that higher action will make the instrument physically more
difficult to play, while lower action may result in excessive
fret buzz, depending on your technique or playing style.
