Guitar Mechanics for Beginners

Whether your guitar is worth $300 or $3000, having it set up properly is essential. A guitar that’s not correctly adjusted makes it harder to distinguish between issues with your technique and issues with your instrument. In short, it’s difficult to play effortlessly if you’re fighting your instrument the whole way! You don’t have to be a luthier to get the most from your guitar, but it’s important to be aware of common problem areas. Guitar maintenance involves more than just changing strings every so often. Basic adjustments to the guitar neck, string height, and intonation will have a notable impact on your technique, tuning, and tone.

Learning to recognize the sound and feel of potential issues ensures that your instrument doesn’t interfere with your playing. You may have heard it said, A poor craftsman blames his tools. Perhaps a better sentiment is that a true craftsman never gives himself a reason to blame his tools. Although each guitar is different, below is a brief overview of some key things to be mindful of.

Note: If you’re uncertain how to adjust your guitar properly, be sure to get it serviced by an experienced guitar tech.
