Every guitarist develops their own style and need their guitars set up differently to get the best results; but where do you start? Right here with this excellent acoustic guitar setup video from master luthier Ron Ruggiero and Elixir® Strings.
How you set up your acoustic guitar has a huge effect on the way it responds to different styles of playing. Truss rod adjustment and tweaking your guitar’s saddle and nut can help you to get the best action for your playing preferences.
Ron and Elixir® Strings show you how these factors can make a difference to your guitar's playability and the ways you can make improvements.
Fingerstyle guitar players might want a lower action for less string noise and finger strain, while flat pickers might prefer the enhanced response of a higher action for their strings. In the video above Ron Ruggiero demonstrates how to change the action on your acoustic guitar to set it the way you want.
