Life too short for long UA-cam videos? Please see the ‘key timings’ information below.
Dan here, hello! In this video I take my Fender Ed O'Brien Sustainer Stratocaster to Johnny Kinkead to get set up. As we find out, a good setup makes all the difference to how the guitar feels in your hands… which makes all the difference to how much you end up playing it!
Johnny takes us through all the main aspects of a guitar setup as we fettle the EOB closer to where I want it to be. Enjoy…

For the love of God please someone get this darling man his own show. He’s just wonderful to watch and I always learn so much from him whenever he’s featured on TPS.
He has such a soothing voice and pleasant disposition ...
@@scot-combs he's like the Bob Ross of guitars
Yep, I agree, I suggest something like a luthier ASMR show. his voice paired with files, drills, metal, wood, chisel, sandpaper. It's not just an opportunity, it's almost a duty to make that show :D
@@jessebell03 Right?! "Now let's just put a happy little string tree right .... here."
I agree! This man needs his own show. His way of explaining things is unparalleled.
"I want everything to sing." That is such an awesome way to think about guitar fixing. I totally understand why you'd want this man to work on your guitars simply based upon that quote alone.
This guy is a great teacher.
Yes!!! Now I want to go there my self! :)
I agree ,great teaching vibe
Agreed!JJ
What a gem of a man. I hope he has an apprentice to carry on his legacy of knowledge into the future.
if he doesn't, I volunteer!
He really is 👍
Love the setups. More Jonny in the future!
But I had to laugh at 1:33 at “Something sounds like something’s doing something.” LOL. New TPS t-shirt?
I'll buy it
Maybe some TPS branded nut sauce?
My favorite was “Ears are just as good as machines.” 😂

Johnny Kinkead is literally a national treasure on guitar expertise.
Johnny has turned into a proper star. Night and day from the first VLOG. You should do a "Johnny's tip" once a month.
“The more gubbins you put on a guitar ...” such a gentle burn from a top chap. More of this!
I also approve of the 'is it time for elevenses now?' mug... always!!
See, you'd think this would bore a three-year-old boy. But after it he said "more guitar man daddy!" And I totally agree!
He made life make so much more sense with his explanation of intonation. Jonny demystified the whole process for me. Made it natural and logical, NOT mechanical. Cheers.
logical is mechanical.
This is like a Bob Ross of guitar maintenance video and I'd like a series of this please and thank you
This man is a national treasure.
Didn't know how much I didn't know about truss rods.
On intonation.. "You just as well do it by ear". What an absolutely wonderful man, I sat glued the whole episode..
When do we get to see a vid on Jonny building some acoustics?
I am guessing that Paul Reed Smith’s head would explode at Johnny Kinkead’s approach to intonation.
What a treasure! Jonny is such a gentle and humble man. Thanks, Dan for introducing us to him.
We need to see him work his magic on a Gibson Les Paul as well. The fret polishing with steel wool & oil for the rosewood board was something new for me. Its a real pleasure listening to him & please Dan make this a regular segment on your channel maybe like "Tips from Jonny".
I'm a bit away from Bristol but I'd drive down and drop off the guitar. I've just bought a Gibson LP that needs a set up.
not even he can save a gibson ;-)
Daniel Steinhardt I genuinely don't think I've heard you play better than that little section at the end of this vid. Just beautiful note choice and feel man!! Had moments of Joey Landreth about it (obviously sans slide). The inspiration of a beautifully set up guitar.
Ah, that’s very kind, thanks Neuk :)
I'm glad the Strat is set up properly and we might get more Daniel Stratocaster action in the future ;)
Thought exactly the same thing. Beautiful.
What a fabulous chap he is.
Just watched this again and learned even more. Jonny is a national treasure and so easy to listen to with his quiet but authoritative delivery. Just Brilliant.
Lovin’ this cat. Nothing like someone who is totally into his or craft. A real pleasure watching, listening and learning. Great job👍
That's some mighty fine pickin' and a-strummin' at the end there Mr Steinhart.
Cheers mate :)
I wish Sir Jon could work on all of my guitars. Unfortunately, I would have to ship them all from the USA. Wonderful craftsman and very informative. Thanks to Dan and Jonny
Brilliant, elegant and revealing. This man is The Guitar Whisperer. Please continue to divulge his secrets, I beg of you. Jonny Kinkead is my spirit animal.
Jonny is such a lovely bloke, fortunate enough to have had a couple of guitars built by him and it’s such a pleasure to spend time with him.
Took me decades to learn the information in this one hour video. Wow, what a great show
Not only is this guy extremely talented but he seems like the nicest guy. I could watch and listen to him endlessly 👍
I came back to watch this after the acoustic build vlog. Could watch this all day long!
i swear that's a drum sample at 18:06
You totally could cut it out and use it.
This is like that scene from toy story 2 where Woody's arm is fixed. This man is fixing my soul as well as the guitar. ASMR for guitarrists at its best.
The thing about great luthiers and repair people is that cumulative knowledge of tricks, tips and techniques from a lifetime of setting up instruments - priceless in many ways. I love looking at all the bits and bobs in that shop, everything is really packed in there! Great Video, keep up the good works.
What I love about shadowing a master (thats exactly what this is) is you get to cover all three levels of knowledge.
The three level of knowledge: what we know, what we don't know, and what we don't know we don't know.
So I have watched the "Re-fret" video (all of it) and now this one, and I must say that I could listen to Johnny teach me about how guitars work all day long. So cool. So much information and such a depth of knowledge. I would welcome any and all future Johnny videos. Thanks fellas!
Good ol' Johnny takes the intimidation away from tweaking your own guitar.Yep! Time for the J.Kinkead Happy Guitar Fix it Show
Man, dans jazzy playing in this video is gorgeous. I’d love to hear him play like this on a regular TPS episode and pick up some of those chord shapes.
This Master Luthier is the kind of guy that after he sets up your instrument to perfection and pay him, you simply want to kiss and hug for bringing your guitar back to life!! Money isn't everything and people like him deserve more than that... More money & Gratitude. And TPS, Here is an idea... We need you to TPS him on his own T-Shirt and a gig bag with his name on it for the world to see. Thanks Dan and deeply grateful to Jonny Kinkead for sharing! Kudos J.K.
"Eccentrically loaded strut"! Sounds like the walk of an 80's glam guitarist around the stage.
In a build it for the lowest cost, mass produced world...it is so refreshing to know there are still crafts people caring about every detail, taking pride in each and taking the time
to do it right. I want to live a world were that is the rule not the exception.....
Well said Brandon
Not only a wealth of knowledge and experience through what must be years (I'm sure I heard Dan say he's made 500ish guitars BY HAND), but also that genius streak of being able to express what, at times can be quite complex concepts, in language that is easy to follow & understand.
Thank you, Dan for introducing us to this guy, and yes, like others have said, get him on the show more (maybe a weekly or monthly hour where he can show us how.... well, everything really 😃!)
I absolutely love watching this Gentleman show and explain his craft
Jonny episodes have become my absolute favorites!
Paul Camus ditto just brilliant
Probably the most comprehensive video on the entire internet for a Strat setup, the link to this should be embedded in a QR code inside every fender case.
I want to play this video on repeat so that I can absorb all of its genuine knowledge, talent and skill into my being. Absolutely fantastic work! TPS has to be one of the best channels on the tube.
Some of my favorite playing from Dan ever! Beautiful chords and melody accentuated by the sustainer!
I thought that too. Mick here. Amazing playing!
MORE of this sort of thing please!! And if Jonny doesn't mind I'd like to set up an easy chair in the corner of his shop and just sit there all day drinking coffee and watching him work. LoL
Just great. Keep em coming!
I LOVE THESE VIDEOS! Thank you Dan!
Love this guy! More of this please!
Best layman's explanation of how a truss rod works I've ever seen. Well done, Jonny!
Awesome video...loved it!
i learned a lot! thank you!
Oh please please... TPS Nut Sauce has got to get in the store
I like this.
excellent. learned a lot. Thank you!
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you to Jonny for sharing his knowledge, and thanks to TPS for producing and sharing this bit of UA-cam treasure. Every guitar player should watch this multiple times.
What a gift! Thank you so much for this!
Superb video... excellent stuff !!
Much appreciated! Thanks!
Another brilliant vid. Loads of content, well delivered.
Thank you for doing the two videos and Q & A with Jonny. This has increased my knowledge of the setup and refretting process 10,000%. It also demonstrates the importance of finding and supporting a good, local luthier. Keep up the good work. Cheers.
Wow! This is a master class!
Another masterpiece video. So thanks for this.
After more then forty years of playing and adjusting my guitars, I’m still learning from this master Luthier 👍🏼🎸
Again, a pleasure to watch.
What a great show!! Just lovely Jonny your awesome!
What a delight! What a master. Thank you!!
Masterclass... Priceless information. Thank you!
Amazing video, thanks for sharing
Thanks, I've learned a lot of useful information.
Awesome stuff Dan - Jonny is a true master...
Cannot thank you enough ....great info. Always more to learn.
Really useful video & what a nice bloke!
Dan and Mick I love your show. Thanks so much for this video with Jonny Kinkead. What a gentleman and a treasure of knowledge. This episode is a true diamond in the gemstones of That Pedal Show!
Can we please have Jonny as a regular on your show. His insight into setting up and working on a guitar is simply amazing! i guess what he does not know about guitars could be written on the back of a postage stamp with a big thick marker.
Why was this man not my grandfather?
Great video....informative and always great to hear a master of one’s craft
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise.
Thoroughly enjoying these videos. Both of you doing a fantastic job and hope to see many many more 👍. Learning a lot from Jonny 👌
What a great chat and lesson, thanks for sharing Mr. Kinkead.
One of the best set up vids I’ve ever seen, great work!
More like this!! 🙌
awesome video. I learned a lot! thank you!
I really love "That Pedal Show" ! Thanks for all you matea do. Blues On....
This was great. Thanks!
great show....thanks guys
I also enjoy the dialogue between the two of you, the fact that you ask questions that we all have and the fact that Johnny knows when to say he does not have a definitive answer but must experiment.
That's one of the most informative and nice to watch episodes on UA-cam I have seen in a long time! Thanks your sirs.
This is gold!
This guy should start a school. I'd sign up in a heartbeat! Amazing teacher and well of information.
He used to teach guitar building. I have a tele that was made by one of his students at the Kingsdown workshop maybe 30 years ago. I liked the guitar so much I married his sister (the student's not Jonny Ks'.).
These are absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing an amazing human being :-)
Great stuff...very informative amd great insight 👍
I am grateful indeed. I truly love these videos. Thank you!
The best set up video I've seen. Very detailed with good explanations.
I love looking at this man’s work! And the voice complements this, it’s soooo relaxing
Great vlog...thank you...
What a pleasure to watch Johnny work, and he explains everything in such great detail too!
Excellent stuffs.
Incredibly fascinating man
I learn so much from TPS! Thank you so much Dan and Mick! Keep up the good work.
