Learn and Master Spotlight Series: Guitar Set-Up & Maintenance
It’s hard enough to play guitar. But you shouldn’t have a guitar that’s hard to play. We can help with that …
Our Spotlight Series on Guitar Setup & Maintenance will show you step-by-step how to set up your guitar in your own home using a few easy-to-use tools. You’ll make basic adjustments to your guitar so you end up with a better playing and sounding instrument.
The better your guitar is set up, the easier it is to play … and the more likely you are to play and practice with it, improving your musical talent as a result.
You’ll learn how to properly restring your guitar and how to adjust the action from the bridge to the saddles. You’ll discover how to adjust the neck and check the relief. Does your guitar play out of tune? You’ll learn the fundamentals of intonation. You’ll also learn how to care for and clean your guitar with complete confidence.
“With Greg’s professional setups, my guitars play and sound their best on stage and in the studio. I trust Greg to get the job done right, every time.” Tyler Unger, guitarist, Five Times August and Nashville studio musician
Greg Voros, master luthier, has spent years working on guitars for the legendary George Gruhn of Gruhn’s Guitars. He’s been entrusted with the repair, restoration, and setup of guitars ranging in value from $100 to $250,000. He’ll share the skills and knowledge he’s picked up through his years of working on some of the most valuable instruments in the world.
The Guitar Setup course includes:
3 full-length DVDs of instruction
Instruction on tuning and adjusting intonation
How to adjust the action, bridge, and pickup height
How to adjust the neck for precise relief
Full cleaning/maintenance of your instrument
We’ve chosen four of the most common guitars to use as examples in this course. You’ll learn while following a setup of the Gibson Les Paul, a Fender Stratocaster, a Gibson L7 arch-top acoustic guitar, and a Martin flat-top acoustic guitar.
If you’re guitar is not one of these, don’t worry. The concepts and steps to these setups will apply to your guitar as well. You can have a better playing and sounding instrument in a matter of hours!
“Greg’s fretwork and set ups are second to none. I challenged him with some odd vintage pieces (like a Hagstrom 8-string bass with a very funky neck), and he exceeded my expectations for both playability and appearance. He applies common sense, science, and careful measurement in a field of work that is often filled with ‘voodoo’ and ‘feel.’ The result is art.” Jay Weaver, bassist, Dolly Parton, Tanya Tucker, Raul Malo, Jim Lauderdale

“As an owner of vintage guitars, I know the importance of a good luthier. I have played with professionals and when asked if they like my music, they all say the same thing: ‘Not really, but do you mind if I play that guitar? Who did the setup?’” C. Edward Fowlkes (Lawyer Fowlkes), radio host, Legally Speaking WLAC
