What are Guitar Setups?
As new players begin to get to grips with playing their electric guitar, they will hear time and again about guitar setups but might not understand what it means. Even though there are lots of metal parts to an electric guitar, the majority of it is still wood because it gives the instrument it’s tone and resonance. However, wood is susceptible to changes in temperature and humidity causing it to expand and contract. As these small movements happen all the delicate parts of the instrument adjust and change. This happens more with new instruments as the young wood ages, and the instrument will need regular setups as it weathers in.
In simple terms then, guitar setups achieve three things:
1. Gets the guitar correctly intonated, meaning the correct notes sound at the right fret
2. Makes the guitar give the best sound it can by improving resonance, eliminating fret buzz and making the best use of the tone of the wood
3. Makes the guitar play well by achieving the perfect string height or ‘action’ on the guitar
As new players, understanding the precise and delicate adjustments that need making takes experience and talent. Adjusting one part of the guitar will have an impact on the rest of it and without a good understanding of the instrument, it is easy to end up with a guitar that buzzes and where the notes don’t match the fretboard. Guitar setups need experience and patience to carry out properly.
