    _Gold!_ Sincerest thanks to Mr. Gruhn, Greg Voros, Uncle Larry and the rest of the family at Gruhn's Guitars for allowing us these peeks into the world at the shop and all of the knowledge it makes available to us. I never walk away from one of Tom's "Gruhn's" videos without a few pearls of wisdom and insight into the world of guitars that I love so very much.

    I have learned more about proper guitar setup from Greg Voros since Uncle Larry started posting these videos than I have in 30 years of playing guitar. Huge thanks to everyone who made this happen.

    I think that Fender recommends setting relief between. 008 and .0016. I've been led to believe that's way too much relief, so I've been going for .004 to .006.
    That's amazing that Greg Voros goes for .001 to .003.
    It's awesome to get tips from a true Top Professional. Thanks again for another great lesson.

    Watching Greg work is one of the true joys of this channel. What an absolute master craftsman.
    I'd love to see him get together with someone like Artistworks or TrueFire to do a masterclass on setup and basic repair. I'd pay handsomely for that shit. I think most Homeskoolers would.

      @@stringlocker I get that, but I watched that guy change a set of strings and learned like four things I didn't know previously. At this point, he could do 45 minutes on strap maintenance and I'd be fucking riveted.

      A setup does not matter if you have funky frets. If you have a great fret leveling job it doesn't matter how you set it up it will play good for the most part

    @davidkieltyka9 Рік тому

    My fav strings these days (on most guitars, not all) are GHS Burnished Nickel Rockers, but before them I used DR Pure Blues. I figured out the “kink the string” thing by trial & error as their main failure point is the wound strings unraveling over time. I like played-in strings and will usually leave a set on ‘til the intonation goes wonky or a wound string wears down and breaks.

    Hey Uncle Larry! Greatly appreciate everything you do on your channel. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Would you ever consider discussing your approach (or perhaps you dont have one) on maintaining hand/arm health? Appreciated your sentiment on hearing health on one of your earlier videos, thought it would be great to get your perspective on this topic. I've struggled with tennis elbow for years and have always been curious how the y'all session guys keep your arms, hands and wrists healthy.

    On another note the high E on my nocaster rebuild has worn a groove on the high side of the brass saddle of the E&B strings... what's the best way to get rid of that Groove I'm guessing steel wool?
