  • Wow this video is very helpful!! They don't even tell you how to set the action! Does he expect us to just automatically know how? Terrible video!! Why did they even put it on youtube. 0-5 stars.

  • Man...Set up a guitar? Your work bench needs a soft mat or anything but a hard surface! If I saw a tech working on my guitar on a hard wood bench...I made a very large mistake in my tech! I know your trying to help but start at step #1 respect your ax.

  • This video was completely useless. He never even mentions his final action height. It's at .110, and he's going to "raise it more". With some mystery shims. Installed how? Guess it's his little secret. Yea, nice way to handle a guitar! Sheeesh!!

  • Terrible "Expert" video, utterly pointless and useless, just get rid of it, wot a waste.

  • not very careful with the guitar is he?

  • .110, are you kidding me? That's almost 1/8 of an inch about like a crappy stock factory setup. also there is a lot more to action setup than just shaving the saddle.

  • ...

  • I've seen that almost every video from ExpertVillage is actually crap. What kind of "Experts" are you?

  • Looks like Nicholas Cage...

  • is this a joke?

    

  • Would you let this creepy guy anywhere near your guitar?......Uh uh!, dont think so.

  • Im going to add a second layer of my shoes, as instructed by the video.
