In a nutshell:

Set the neck first (using the truss rod adjustment should it need it) using the strings as your gauge.

Next, set the string height at the bridge. Check every fret for buzz. You may also run into a higher than usual fret. You'll need to dress that.

Tune it up and then set the intonation.

Play it like ya stole it. :D]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Bish https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/setup-from-scratch/#post-211338 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/setup-from-scratch/#post-211243 Mon, 27 Nov 2006 11:00:39 +0000 http://home.nycap.rr.com/nils/BasicGuitarSetup.htm]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance indiana_jonesin https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/setup-from-scratch/#post-211243 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/setup-from-scratch/#post-211201 Mon, 27 Nov 2006 04:38:09 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance xg5a https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/setup-from-scratch/#post-211201 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/setup-from-scratch/#post-22120 Mon, 27 Nov 2006 02:03:19 +0000 Thanks a lot.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance AKFlyingV https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/setup-from-scratch/#post-22120
