Setting Up Your Stratocaster Guitar: Bridge Action Height Adjustment (Step 2 of 4)

[quailstudios]

Thanks for the vid! The string height is explained well.

which fret? the 12th?,15th?,17?

hold on... so when setting up a guitar you FIRST should adjust the action at the bridge and THEN at the nut?

the way i always thought of it is that you should first set the nut and the action at the 1st fret and then adjust the bridge, truss rod and pickups. the reason being the fact that the nut is the only thing that is not "over-and-over-again" adjustable. once you file the nut down, thats it.

i would love to get some perspective on it.

Height height height, not heith

[MimicDaravon]

@365Avalon Heighth is a legitimate nonstandard spelling (and pronunciation) of height.

[365Avalon]

@MimicDaravon No standard spelling ? That means it's spelled incorrectly.. The word has a pronunciation, it does not require a new one. Education!!!

@365Avalon THANK YOU! I notice most people who say height wrong also say acrosst instead of across

That was great John thanks for that!
