Oh man, as soon as Greg starts intonating the Tele, I know that moment of dread: when the high E is off but the B is right, and you have to decide how wrong they'll be together

Before I moved to Nashville I came down for the NAMM show in 2014 or 15 and stopped by Gruhn. I got talking with one of the folks there about being interested in guitar repair and it turned out to be Greg. He invited me and my friend up to the workshop, gave us a tour of the place and very graciously answered all of our super guitar-nerd questions about the different projects going on. Nicest dude in the world and one hell of a guitar repair artist.
Setup per hour: $40 If you watch: $50 If you help: $100 If you watch, ask questions, and make a cool setup vid builders/artists like me can benefit from: $PRICELESS! Thanks, Uncle Larry! AND GREG!!!!
You may sharpen a razor with a hone but then you finish by using a leather strop to soften the edge before you use it on your face. Still very sharp but you ease the edge so the skin don't complain too much. At least that's what they taught me in barber college......
This is priceless, especially for me as a Tele guy!! Another great example what makes HS stand out: no marketing BS and simply incredible informative content. Thank you Tom and Greg!
Tom, I watched this when you put it out, and now I watched it again. Yes, I am a guitar nerd as well. I have a few vintage guitars, one of which I purchased at Gruhns. I'm with you, whenever I take one my guitars over to Joe Glasers, I love hanging out and talking to the guys about the processes involved in whatever repair is necessary. I can tell you one thing, you learn a lot. Thanks, Larry.
Mind blowing. What a way to start the weekend! I was riveted. A million thanks to Greg for sharing so generously, and to dear Uncle Larry for taking us on this ride!
As well as being really really enjoyable and interesting - I'd learned something valuable by the second minute - there's just that joy of seeing real expertise because you know how hard-earned it is. Thanks. Awesome channel.
The man is a Pro! A good mechanic is priceless when it comes to making a guitar play well and in tune. You can tell Tom appreciates the quality of work.
I didn't start playing guitar until I was (I wanna say) 38. At the time, my son was 12. He had a talent and I knew we were going to need to have something in common if we were going to survive his teenage years. I don't have a boatload of cash. I can't afford high end guitars and paying for setups, but I also can't afford to let a shitty guitar give my kid a reason not to play. I've been a woodworker for most of my life. I'm a compulsive tinkerer. Learning how to do this stuff (properly cut a nut, clean up fret ends, learning the geometry, etc.) has become a passion for me. I can't play like my son can (he's on track for Berklee in a couple years), but I can eliminate barriers to him finding his voice. I can't give him insights into musical theory, or show him how to play a lick he doesn't know, but I can give him workable, reliable, comfortable tools. It's sorta like being a person who builds the stage upon which he gets to dance. I really dig that it's worked out this way, for us. Thanks for the video man. It makes sense that you would be the dude who shined a light on a beautiful thing that many take for granted. Good techs are artists in their own right.
Thanks for taking us places that no one even dares... or even thinks of, for that matter. This is what makes your personal gift to us so invaluable! Thanks for letting us in - I know my world is better because of it.
Yeah, this is 100% my jam. When I was a kid of 8 years old, I started out on a great guitar…my uncle passed away tragically young and I got his ‘68 maple board strat, exactly like the Woodstock Strat. But I knew nothing about setup and I blamed my own playing or lack thereof. After at least 5 years of struggling, I finally started learning about intonation and setup…and I was blessed to find my great friend and master technician who has been working on my guitars for the last 35 years. I began to realize that many things that I beat myself up about were down to setup…NOT my terrible playing or lack of ability. This was a MAJOR thing. The veil was lifted and playing guitar became A LOT more comfortable, in tune and pleasant for me and my audience. I totally resonate with the PASSION you speak of here. I don’t know where I would be without my main tech and a few other very talented and giving people who have helped me work on my instruments over the years. Those people changed my life for the better.
Tom, this artwork is what makes your playing light years ahead of 99.9 % of the other folks out there. Because Greg makes you feel the difference between .00001" of an inch of a fret being lined up and your neck setup being perfect. You are incredibly lucky, he is the surgeon that is operating on your fretboard!! Bless this man for his level of skill!
This dude is amazing. All sorts of wizdom here. My eye kept going back to that CASH poster I have seen a hundred times, but it never fails to make me smile. Great stuff!!
Primo content. This guy isn’t next level, he is beyond levels. Operates on a different plane altogether. I saw your Rig Rundown Uncle Larry and you made the comment that you are meticulous with the setup of your instruments. For those who say it doesn’t make a difference they need to watch this and really listen to you play the guitar after every adjustment. If an electric sounds that good acoustically, plugging it in it is going to sing, sing, sing!!!! And how about the difference in the sound of the two different fretboard materials? Rosewood had a very woody, deep, rich tonality but still very articulate. The maple fretboard was noticeably brighter and crystal clear. The high bended notes just really pop. Another tangible example of why it is good to have both. This video is just money for those of us who really get into this. Thank you so much!!!
OMG if Nasa made guitars, this guy would be the head of the entire division! Hats off to him for being that intense in knowing that level of construction. Damn!!!!
I was just watching Greg this morning on a ten year old video made by Premier Guitar shot at Gruhns. He is dedicated to his craft, that is evident. Thanks for the inside look Tom..............
i learn something EVERYTIME i watch this guy doing his thing. if not for him all my "paid someone else to set'em up's" would have .020 string clearance @ first fret & my cowboy chords would forever be out of tune. "one story about effin something up".. i always tell people; oh hell ya, i effed up yours once, lol tell greg i said thanks & for all you do, this buds for you!
This is very cool. The tape on the shirt (taking out as much tackiness as you can), very cool - Dan Steinhardt (on the That Pedal Show channel) recently posted a FIVE part video series of British luthier Jonny Kinkead building an acoustic guitar for him, and Jonny ALSO used that technique, talked about it very specifically, as a way to use tape to protect the raw unfinished spruce top of the instrument when working on the neck or other things - making sure no wood was pulled up, etc. He put the tape on his shirt, then put it on there dusty workbench, etc - very thorough exercise to make the tape as minimally sticky as possible.
Nothing beats watching a Master practice their craft. It was all about doing the job to perfection, money was never mentioned. Sadly (in my opinion) not enough folks live by that creed. Thanks Tom.
Sorcery!! I love when our dear uncle puts us in touch with people who share the passion and are so full of knowledge!! Folks like these compliment and build each other up. This man is next level. I’m a Tele guy and I just got a masterclass! Thank You !!!
A good video to go with my morning coffee. Guitar maintenance tips from someone Uncle Larry trusts...I'm listening to what he says. And all with a phone camera. No editing. No nonsense.
I’ve been to Gruhn’s met George once. It make total sense there’s a guy like Greg working there! To say he’s passionate is an understatement! Thanks Tommy
Hey Tom, this is soooo cool. Makes me feel like I’m with you guys in the room. Greg, you are an artist! Thanks for sharing your professional knowledge and your passion.
Love these types of videos. I'm a tradesman and I love tinkering with my guitars. Watching pros who know WTF they are doing is like watching chefs cook a steak. You think you know how to cook a steak, yet, each time you watch another professional do it his/her way you learn little bits here and there that you can put in your own toolbox. Greg is a beast...you can tell this cat knows what he knows! Thanks, Tom!
I know this channel isn't based on gear but man I love this. My work is music, but researching and messing around with guitars is my hobby. Great to see a setup done on some vintage gear! Thanks again Tommy!
Man this guy is a genius! I would kill to have him set up any of my guitars. I could only imagine playing it after he sets it to perfection. It’s gotta feel fucking incredible and I’d probably just want to play all day and night. This was easily one of my favorite videos. Now only did I learn a ton of information but I was able to watch a master craftsmen go to work and man does he know every goddamn detail needed to know to make that neck and those strings perfect. There’s nothing better than getting a perfect set up and intonation. This was like watching a mechanic work on a formula 1 race car or Indy car. That guitar sounded so fucking good played acoustically when he was done it was shocking! Thanks for this one Uncle Larry. I will be watching it many, many times and lusting after a set up this fucking awesome.
I had the same reaction to watching Dan Steinhardt’s vlog series on his Johnny Kinkade acoustic guitar build. Got hooked by the skill and watched all of them.
Greg helped me out last year with the 46' J45 travesty. He was so helpful and it was amazing how much time he spent talking me through the situation. So refreshing.
I'm addicted to this channel man. I mean, your playing, knowledge, all the cats you talk about. So much to get into... Thanks a lot, uncle Larry! I actually have a question and a request Do you like to play with that Clapton "woman tone" once in a while? PLEASE, PLEASE do more videos with that non-reverse firebird Cheers from Brazil!
I have been saying for years, and have shown in a vid that “stretching strings” is actually taking and bend out of the new string coming off of the bridge, nut and saddle. Maybe theres a TEENY bit of stretching, but its making sure (which happens and you play, but you arent actually STRETCHING, you are STRAIGHTENING the string) there and no micro-arcs of the string coming off the contact points. Love watching guys like this work. You learn sooo much from the greats.
You ALWAYS do the bridge height and then the nut slot depth. If your customer likes a really low action at the nut, it's easy to get it set and then have to lower a string at the bridge and then have the string touching the first fret. That's why the Fender plant does it in a certain order. They always do capo on the first fret to remove the nut height as a factor, set the neck relief to 0, set string height at bridge, uncapo the neck and set the slot depth, then intonation, then add in relief if necessary. I'm sure Mr. Voros can eyeball it, though, and probably doesn't need to follow the Fender spec. But, if you're starting out, it's a heck of a lot easier to file a slot lower than to add it back in via superglue and bone dust or to shim the nut.
Another perfect example of why we love Tom’s videos. Just pure, real-life authenticity. The many pro tips and setup secrets this fellow shares as he works on Tom’s guitars are priceless. Thank you both for this great video.
Love seeing how a guy like Greg goes about it. Love the bit of confirmation…I do a lot of the same things and it’s really good to know I’m not a COMPLETE idiot!
Damn. That was some very high quality Tele OCD. Old school 7.25 radius, action at 3/64, no choke bends, dead on intonation, and it rang like a bell. And I am totally stealing the tape and leather block ideas.
Your channel is always a fountain of knowledge from some of the best, Tom. I miss these conversations with my old guitar tech, they always stretch on longer than you'd expect.
I finished load out after a gig around 1:45am but saw that Little Tommy had posted something new. Watched the entire thing. Dude is next level steeping his homemade hide glue recipe! Love it and pls keep it coming!
Love it, love it, love it Uncle Larry! I have a dear luthier friend who got his start decades ago at Gruhn's. Its great to see the younger generation masters at work. Thanks so much for watching some of the secret sauce being brewed up.
Thanks for sharing that Unc..went down the Greg Voros youtube rabbit hole after the refret video a few months ago , it is great to see a true pro , who is so passionate and driven by his craft sharing his knowledge. Thanks to both of you for that.
This, is the best, guitar show, on UA-cam. 🙌🏻👊🏻🍻💯 Thanks so much Uncle Larry and to "The Young Jedi" of Gruhn's Guitars for this incredible segment of "inside baseball." This is why in the near future, I'll be making my first _big_ (I have a few pre-CBS offsets) vintage guitar investment at Gruhn's. Really appreciate you Tom. Tip on the way.
Thanks for this great look inside the workspace of such an artist. For me it's quite a revelation because I'm so nervous about working on my guitars and screwing something up!! It's great to see such a pro at work!
This is a very interesting episode, I really enjoyed it! Greg is clearly passionate about what he does, and that to me is the mark of a lucky man! ...As are you! Thank you Tom, for these pearls. God bless you.
Tape on the shirt is next level. Love this guy. I'd trust him with my first born.
fact
I know you've said you don't really wanna do a lot of gear stuff....but I friggin' love when you do gear stuff!
The guy has some of the most iconic guitars and amps in the world. It's almost not fair to not talk about them haha
All true.
He doesn’t need pedals
Oh man, as soon as Greg starts intonating the Tele, I know that moment of dread: when the high E is off but the B is right, and you have to decide how wrong they'll be together

Too bad his progeny has ruined his vision of excellence with woke DEI agenda. Most Disney movies are a no for me.
He’s so passionate, that’s the guy you want no matter what trade it may be 🤙🏼
Loved the "intonation test chords" = SOLID GOLD!!!

Master luthiers are essential to the craft. This was so cool 😎 to watch. Thanks Tom for letting us in.
Passion indeed, on his face, in his eyes, his body language. It’s a rare thing and such a pleasure to see. I’d love to visit Gruhn’s.
This man works swiftly and purposefully like a true pro. Thanks for sharing
Dude, love these too. Uncle Larry is the content master that is humble and never realizes how awesome.
Word.
Watching here in Scranton Pa at 1:43 am , in the middle of a snow storm, eating strawberry poptarts. ❤️. Life is good 🕉

I was riveted.
A million thanks to Greg for sharing so generously, and to dear Uncle Larry for taking us on this ride!
Seeing a master at work is such a joy. Those 45 minutes flew right by.
This is one of my favorite episodes you’ve done!!! Thanks Tom!!! Love it!!
As well as being really really enjoyable and interesting - I'd learned something valuable by the second minute - there's just that joy of seeing real expertise because you know how hard-earned it is. Thanks. Awesome channel.
Tom, this is great. I have a Tele I can never get the set up right on, so always love learning from the best, and for free. Cheers!!!
The man is a Pro! A good mechanic is priceless when it comes to making a guitar play well and in tune. You can tell Tom appreciates the quality of work.

22,000 guitar nerds have watched so far. 22,000 of us. So lucky to have this insight. Thank you, Uncle Larry!
Nothing like a talented luthier. Only thing missing is a couple of Rolling Rocks.
I was just watching Greg this morning on a ten year old video made by Premier Guitar shot at Gruhns. He is dedicated to his craft, that is evident. Thanks for the inside look Tom..............

10 mins in and already a masterclass worth of information and knowledge.

I’d love to hand this guy all my guitars and have him work his magic.
I can’t wait to hear that Tele Custom!
“Mindfully executed..” Words to live by.
Uncle Larry, you take us places where few get the opportunity to go. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Nothing beats watching a Master practice their craft. It was all about doing the job to perfection, money was never mentioned. Sadly (in my opinion) not enough folks live by that creed. Thanks Tom.

Thanks so much for this. It’s always a joy to watch somebody not just at the top of their game but the top of *the* game.
I know this channel isn't based on gear but man I love this. My work is music, but researching and messing around with guitars is my hobby. Great to see a setup done on some vintage gear! Thanks again Tommy!
You’re one of the good ones Tom Bukovac. Best video on the UA-cams! Thanks for posting.
I’ve seen a 7-1/4” rolled to a 6! Crazy! Love this passion and attention to detail.
What a joy to see a master set up ! Customized to your touch!!
True craftsman. Come to Ireland Greg, I have half a dozen guitars that need you!
Very cool. Pass along thanks to Greg for sharing his time with us.
Man this guy is a genius! I would kill to have him set up any of my guitars. I could only imagine playing it after he sets it to perfection. It’s gotta feel fucking incredible and I’d probably just want to play all day and night.
This was easily one of my favorite videos. Now only did I learn a ton of information but I was able to watch a master craftsmen go to work and man does he know every goddamn detail needed to know to make that neck and those strings perfect.

Boring? Are you kidding? I’ve only watched the first ten minutes and I’m mesmerized. This is very cool of you Tom. Thanks for sharing this.
I had the same reaction to watching Dan Steinhardt’s vlog series on his Johnny Kinkade acoustic guitar build. Got hooked by the skill and watched all of them.
Greg helped me out last year with the 46' J45 travesty. He was so helpful and it was amazing how much time he spent talking me through the situation. So refreshing.
Right, that guy is a master at his craft. Great that you have this guy to setup your guitars.
So important! He definitely cares about what he's doing. Great stuff, thanks
I'm addicted to this channel man. I mean, your playing, knowledge, all the cats you talk about. So much to get into... Thanks a lot, uncle Larry!
I actually have a question and a request
Do you like to play with that Clapton "woman tone" once in a while?
PLEASE, PLEASE do more videos with that non-reverse firebird
Cheers from Brazil!
I have been saying for years, and have shown in a vid that “stretching strings” is actually taking and bend out of the new string coming off of the bridge, nut and saddle. Maybe theres a TEENY bit of stretching, but its making sure (which happens and you play, but you arent actually STRETCHING, you are STRAIGHTENING the string) there and no micro-arcs of the string coming off the contact points.
Love watching guys like this work. You learn sooo much from the greats.

If your customer likes a really low action at the nut, it's easy to get it set and then have to lower a string at the bridge and then have the string touching the first fret.

Love that Cash poster! Enjoyed the video...nothing like a good setup to make the day!
Love seeing how a guy like Greg goes about it. Love the bit of confirmation…I do a lot of the same things and it’s really good to know I’m not a COMPLETE idiot!
Damn. That was some very high quality Tele OCD. Old school 7.25 radius, action at 3/64, no choke bends, dead on intonation, and it rang like a bell. And I am totally stealing the tape and leather block ideas.
Your channel is always a fountain of knowledge from some of the best, Tom. I miss these conversations with my old guitar tech, they always stretch on longer than you'd expect.
BEAUTIFUL video, thank you for sharing the dream you live in! Its amazing for us to see you all at work, what a wonderful part of this new age
That dude is ACE. Consummate pro.. Thanks for teaching class on the finer points of tune-ups... Off the chart detail.
I could watch Greg all day working his magic! AMAZING!
I finished load out after a gig around 1:45am but saw that Little Tommy had posted something new. Watched the entire thing. Dude is next level steeping his homemade hide glue recipe! Love it and pls keep it coming!
Thank you Tom & Greg from my guitars, which will all play better tomorrow.
I loved this! Thanks so much for taking the time to record and post it.
That was AWESOME. You gotta respect a man that respects a good fret dressing! 🤘
Larry - the best “techie” video I’ve seen. Also - when you asked “you ever done this before?” I almost choked laughing.
They way you do anything is the way you do everything.
This was amazing! Thank you guys!
Anyone into guitar tech-ing should listen to this dude. He sure knows his shit. Absolutely enjoyable!
Great lessons gentlemen. Thank you for sharing.
So enlightening! The truth! Fret ends are sooooo important. Can’t be stressed enough.
One of my favorite vids you have posted, what an insight
This channel has been quite a ride. The builder in me rates this vid as one of my favorites. Thanks for everything Tom!
Love this... will be watching this over and over...Thank You !!!!
Love it, love it, love it Uncle Larry! I have a dear luthier friend who got his start decades ago at Gruhn's. Its great to see the younger generation masters at work. Thanks so much for watching some of the secret sauce being brewed up.
This is right up there with Dan Erlewine level knowledge and you got to trust anyone wearing a Dr. Teeth shirt.
That dude is a feckin warlock!
I could geek out on this all day.
Thanks, Tommy!
Wow! What a privilege! Thank you so much Tom and Greg. 😎
Absolute super bonus! This is NEVER boring. Thanks for the inside, UL!!!
great video! knowledge & passion Tom ! & a 🤘🏽🤘🏽for Greg & Lin !
This is a master class in guitar setup, especially 7.25 radius guitars. Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing that Unc..went down the Greg Voros youtube rabbit hole after the refret video a few months ago , it is great to see a true pro , who is so passionate and driven by his craft sharing his knowledge. Thanks to both of you for that.
This, is the best, guitar show, on UA-cam. 🙌🏻👊🏻🍻💯 Thanks so much Uncle Larry and to "The Young Jedi" of Gruhn's Guitars for this incredible segment of "inside baseball." This is why in the near future, I'll be making my first _big_ (I have a few pre-CBS offsets) vintage guitar investment at Gruhn's.
Really appreciate you Tom. Tip on the way.
This is super valuable stuff. Well worth watching, carefully!
Priceless for those of us who like to build and setup our own guitars. Thanks Tom.
Thanks for this great look inside the workspace of such an artist. For me it's quite a revelation because I'm so nervous about working on my guitars and screwing something up!! It's great to see such a pro at work!
Amazing ... really lifting the curtain and showing a light on these talented people. Passion for real.
This is a very interesting episode, I really enjoyed it! Greg is clearly passionate about what he does, and that to me is the mark of a lucky man! ...As are you! Thank you Tom, for these pearls. God bless you.
