Learn Guitar Repair - Module 2B, How To Set Up A Guitar (Udemy.com)

Incredibly valuable information for first-time guitar setup (I have done this for my e-guitar and a new acoustic/western guitar). I have seen many (also free) videos before but this is the best so far because it comes in short videos for each step (= easy to find and re-visit) and shows all relevant details. Also the workflow (= order of setup: truss rod, nut height, action of strings, then intonation and pickup height) is quite clear. Furthermore it gives hints for (despaired ;-) beginners what to change when buzzing appears on the first few frets or 12th++ frets or all over. If I had a wish (for a six-star rating ;-) I would like to get a downloadable cheat cheat with all info summarized on one PDF page (also containing tables with the default "best practice" measures for different types of guitars) So all in all: Really great course, well done!

The course covers the key points, in setting up a guitar as described.. the presenter does a good job i refer to the video for carry out particular repairs on my own guitars, constructive criticism, it does not go into much detail on troubleshooting, for example if you continue to have string buzz, how to truly feel confident you know exactly where the buzz is and discuss all the causes, from uneven frets, twisted neck, in the video it just covers trust rod adjustment which in my experience does not solve all fret buzz issues

Great advice from a down to earth instructor! Using the first 2 modules I have managed to setup my old ESP Floyd Rose back to a playable standard after giving up and hanging it on the wall for a decade! Now looking to put these new skills into practice and experiment on some cheap marketplace acoustic and electric guitars to expand my knowledge. Onto Module 3 to build some nuts next!

Excellent course, perfectly pitched! Thank you for making everything so concise and easy to understand. As someone who has played and 'tinkered' with set ups for many years this was the best instructional course I have ever come across. Thank you.

I now have an even better understanding of how a guitar can sound perfect and how I can achieve this perfect sound through a few fine adjustments. While I have only practiced on an electric guitar with a floating bridge, I now have the know how to work on other types of guitar as well. And I can refer back to this at any time if I need to refresh my memory. Really enjoyed this module and the first one, and looking forward to starting another very soon!

I have been meaning to learn proper guitar setup for some time, having 'dabbled' over the years on my own collection using online videos as reference. This course was a great resource, detailing each stage of the setup process in depth while offering some very worthwhile tips along the way. Kevin was both engaging and extremely knowledgeable!

Yes, this has helped fill in the gaps to what i already thought i knew. It is something i will need to have my practical experience of to ensure i can put into practice what i have learned and do expect this to take some time, but am confident that i now have the resources to go back to so i can methodically set up a guitar.

Kevin, like myself, seem to learn this craft from hobby experience. He summarized what is already vastly available in youtube. But feel is he is focused on making more courses instead of deeper understand what is behind the guitar mechanics and give us some special hints and tricks we cannot find anywhere else. Lectures are relatively short, not much theory.

Another great lesson set from Kevin. Even if you know some of this stuff, it's a nice refresher, and you can have all the information on doing set ups consolidated in a well organized video set if you're ever fuzzy on something.

I wanted to learn how to set up my own guitars, both acoustic and electric. This course was great! It provided the detailed how-to information I was desiring, made especially clear through the videos, and provided great information on the proper tools to use and have on hand! Thanks, Kevin!
