  • @Craigman65 Depend on who you aks!!!

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

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

  • 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.

  • Thank you Mumbles!

    

  • wow that action looks high looks about 3 to 4 mm by seeing side veiw. but exc vid tutorials .

  • I love you man. My guitar sounded like shit until I saw this video

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

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