What is a Guitar Set Up?
Guitar set ups involve a series of adjustments and tweaks made to a guitar to optimise its playability and performance. It involves adjusting the various components of the instrument to ensure that it plays smoothly and sounds great. A proper guitar set up can involve adjustments to the neck, bridge, nut, frets, and pickups, as well as checking and correcting any issues with the intonation and action of the guitar.
