Telecaster Setup Part 2 - Strings, Action, Intonation, Pickup Height 

It is a good thing to post videos that are helpful to people. Nice job on this video! Thank You

Honestly the most helpful setup video I've come across!

many thanks for sharing this action adjustement tutorial, it was very informative :D

Installed a set of Lindy Fralins this week...noticed their recommended close to string distance (1/16 and 2/16 inches) seems to really work better than my usual much larger distance. My cheapo Squier CV50 sounds like a million bucks... as nice as my Japanese and USA cousins...

Thank you for that, as I have a Mexican Tele Baja Butterscotch which just needs a bit of fine tuning. I was tempted to take it to my local luthier, but as I have some of the same basic tools I’m going to set it up myself.😊

For a few years I have been using Rev Willie's 7.5 0r 8s.and purchesd from zzounds a fender performer tellie and your the tellie man who has gotten me om the right path...RocknRollflat5

I got locking tuners on my Stratocaster, but my Telecaster has normal Fender stratocaster tuners. I don't twine the strings around too much, i just stretch the string, and tune it up while i hold and angle on the string so it get winded just like a half knot and my strings don't slip. I however like the locking tuners better because then its just to thread thru and cut and have nothing sticking out

Your set up is wow factor 100%.you should even the little things.and I'm geting a tellie usa used to have a 52 ri but during the time I thought if I get a sertan guitar I'll get better now I scored the bullit that's why I'm hear and the telecaster is a buitful tool thank you Wil be using all you moves on doing set up..RocknRollFlat5

Thanks

What would be your recommended hacks or better yet the harness with them?

😎🤟

Have you ever tried wrapping the strings over the saddles ' around back and under then over top the saddles again ' wouldn't that be considered locking the strings around the saddles?

Thanks, feeling broke now.

Richard and officer Tony, can you recommend a good set of headphones for using an amp and guitar? Before I buy something I wanted to ask what someone in the industry uses. I have Vic Firths I picked up used, but I heard their mainly set for drummers or something. They don't sound too bad but they're uncomfortable as heck. Thanks for the videos and all the great tips!

Hi I have a different saddle 6 pairs of small screws instead of the three you have what allen key is needed to adjust them?

Hi, did you check string action gauge marks showing true with calipers ? Cuz few people saying baroque not showing true. Example 2.00mm not same with calipers. If you checked with calipers pls tell me too. I’m wondering bareque action ruller does showing mm or inch side true or not?

🧐🧐🧐

Wondering how old do i need to be so i can point with my middle finger ?

You didn't show any pickup height adjustment

Don’t use any oil on the raw wood fretboards. Use products designed for that.

I came to see how you set intonation with the 3 piece saddle and you demonstrated exactly nothing.

It would have been more helpful to me if you had a guitar that needed a setup so you could demonstrate everything you’re talking about. To have one that needs no truss rod adjustment nor much of anything else doesn’t really help.

Nobody says string gauge doesn’t matter.

Straighten your bridge first. It's not lined up with your pickguard.

1) He didn't actually put all the strings in at once, which was kinda disappointing. I really wanted to see that trick. 2) Those aren't 'old school tuners', the kind with the slot where you have to insert the string into the axis of the peg. 3) On vintage Teles, the neck has to be removed in order to adjust the truss rod. 4) On those same vintage Teles, the pickguard needs to be removed to set the height of the neck pickup. 5) Adjusting the truss rod is NOT setting intonation...This guy doesn't seem to know what he's talking about. Typical RU-vidr.

What a useless video. Thousands of an inch, where is he, the 1700’s
