Great job jonny Blackwood on the writing of this. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Concise and complete for a beginner. *by on Reviewed in the United States September 2, 2020* I think the sign of an expert teacher is someone that can take all their knowledge and concisely explain the most important parts in an organized way. That’s what I look for any time I’m allowing money to leave my bank account to pay for learning - and that’s what this book is.This book does a great job of being concise and walking you through a full setup from start to finish. Not too in depth and not too basic. I’ve never done a guitar setup but I’m patient and have some mechanical skill. I now have the best playing electric I’ve ever owned. Almost perfectly in tune across the entire neck. Amazing and fun to play for the first time. I’m no longer cringing when a note way up on the 17th fret is out of tune even though it’s in tune while player open. It sounds so amazing.I only own Fender style instruments and I appreciated that this book also explained the other styles of bridges and nuts so I know what I’m up against if I buy an Ibanez or Gibson. It also covered the basics of setting up an acoustic but doesn’t go into incredible detail on bridge work - doesn’t talk at all about how to lengthen or shorten the string length if you are having intonation issues on an acoustic. It does talk about adjusting the height of the bridge on an acoustic though. String length on an acoustic is way more complicated so that makes sense to skip it but an explanation as to why it was skipped or generally what needs to be accomplished would have been nice even if not fully explained. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good guitar maintenance starter *by on Reviewed in the United States August 14, 2015* A very basic 'guitar setup' manual but that's the beauty of this book. It's aimed at the 'beginner' and hits its mark. Pictures and diagrams are more than adequate to visually assist the written instructions; helpful guides and 'where-to-look' information are located at the end of the book. A good guitar maintenance starter. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/6600386-how-to-setup-your-guitar-like-a-pro-an-easy](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/6600386-how-to-setup-your-guitar-like-a-pro-an-easy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-08-31*
