-‘guitar setups’ available at ‘guitar center’ for $50-
(they recommend guitar setup every 6 months)
(due to “weather-related effects” on guitar)
(before the two most drastic season changes)
(what are they?)
(fall –> winter)
(spring –> summer)
(so beginning of january to start off new year)
(and end of june as “midway point” in year)
(mostly due to drastic changes in humidity which can warp the guitar neck)
(and negatively impact the “action”)
(so that notes become more out-of-tune as you go up the neck)
(check by playing same note of open string on a fretted lower string and see if it registers as “in tune” on guitar tuner)
(how long does it take?)
(24 to 48 hours?)
.
*SETUP*
(adjust “relief” in neck to lower or raise the “action”)
(aka “truss rod adjustments”)
(adjust “saddle” to lower or raise the “action”)
(adjust “nut” to lower or raise the “action”)
(a “setup” can also investigate other potential problems with guitar)
(do they also clean the guitar?)
(and change strings?)
(and make sure that the “action” is set for the specific gauge strings that you use)
(which means that if you change “string gauge” you should always get a setup)
(12 16 24 32 44 54 gauge for acoustic)
(10 13 17 26 36 46 gauge for electric)
(learn to do it yourself?)
(i tried in second year of college)
(when i was most “paranoid” about my music)
(just like when i thought i “blew my voice” after attempting “oh! darling” in a rehearsal)
(when in retrospect it was merely an “extreme hypochondriac episode”)
(i blamed my roommate will rodger for leaving windows open in winter and messing up “action” on my les paul)
(at first i tried adjusting truss rod by myself after taking it to a local guitar shop in walking distance on massachusetts avenue)
(this can be dangerous)
(just trust the “experts”)
(saves you “time” at the expense of “money”)
