Good quality set.Here are 25 ways to make your Fender Strat play and sound better than ever before. I'm no luthier but I like to know if my guitar is out of wack and this set helps with that. It gets expensive and once I figured out some basics like truss rod adjustments to name one example. While my usual tech friend does a good job.
If you own a shop and you don't have this tool you are wasting time on set ups, thought these were overpriced but was hired to work on a musical with 8 guitars so I took the plunge, changed my mind after the first set up, I checked one of my own guitars and found I had it set up properly but I had to tweak it several times to get it right, checking with these tools gave me instant feedback to know it was right, whether you do your own set ups or do it for a living this set is a great investment. I found that doing my own set-up was not that much of a mystery, and it has opened the door for me to take on some even more challenging jobs and adjustments tp my guitars. Given the extra time on my hands during the Covid crisis, and the limited availability of a repair person at the local guitar shop, why not learn to do it myself? With this kit and some basic tools I already had, I was in business. I decided to get this kit so I could learn, and do my own set-ups. I purchased this set to replace some older tools I had been using and this set is far superior. I set up my guitar on Friday night, I got the set up tools on Wednesday night, and it plays great. All my set up tools were lost in the move as well as some of my other tools. I used to set up my own guitars until I moved. The tool help me determined what step to fix this problemwithout making it worse. Right away i check my necki have one that is bowing slightlyupwards. Was the perfect tool set for starting out doing basic guitar setups. Erick Coleman walks you through basic set-up instructions to have your guitar playing great in no time.
