How to set up an electric guitar?

25th July 2010

Where can I find a good guide for guitar set up?

I wouldn’t recommend doing a set up yourself unless you absolutely know what you’re doing. And based on the fact that you’re asking for a guide to help you tells me you have no idea how to set up a guitar. You risk messing up your guitar beyond repair if you do it yourself. Take it to a luthier and let them do it. It’s better to let a professional do it and pay for it then to do it yourself and mess up your guitar.
