By that I mean that the saddles’ forwards/backwards positions are not set up well, and so when the open strings are correctly tuned, and we then play up the neck, it suddenly seems out of tune again.īefore doing a setup, I’d recommend you put a new set of strings on the guitar. The second reason for the tuning issues is that the intonation is way out. This means that it is difficult to fine tune, as the string’s pitch tends to “jump” up or down. Firstly the nut slots are too tight, made evident by the strings making a pinging noise when they are tuned up or down. The tuning problems are coming from two areas. The neck plays well too, but it has some tuning problems and buzzes a bit more than I’d like. I already have a general electric guitar setup post over here:, but there are a few Les Paul specific areas I’d like to go into here.īefore I start, I want to mention a few things about this particular guitar. For this post, I’ll be setting up a “Burny Super Grade” guitar, but the set up is the same for most Les-Paul-style guitars.
Today we’re going to do a setup on a Les-Paul-style guitar.
