When it comes to setting up your guitar, theres many different methods and practices. In today's video, my friend Ben Calhoun at Big House Guitars in Atlanta Ga, shows us some of his biggest pet peeves when setting up and maintaining your acoustic guitar.

Man, why can't all setup vids be like this? Straight to the point, plain English, nothing superfluous. Bravo. Keeping this.

I have learned more here in ten minutes than I have during the last 40 years of playing, stringing, and fooling around with guitars. Thank you!

I love that pull it back one fret trick. It's so simple, effective, and consistent. I wish I knew that 25 years ago.

Been playing guitar for over 20 years, building guitars for around 10, and the "just pull it back one fret" trick just changed my life.

Wow. One of the most helpful guitar videos I’ve ever seen! I learn so much every time Ben is featured on here.

Fretter and inlayer for a professional acoustic guitar company here! Looking down the neck helps great to see if your frets are all in line and level. When light catches a high fret it will shine before the rest of the frets as you bring the guitar up and down with your hand. That’s what it should be used for, not so much using it to spot the neck itself!

I've been playing acoustic guitar since 1964. This is the best information on set up I've even seen. I feel like I want to change all my strings now. Amazing information. Thank you!

Hands down, this is the best, most informative, and clearest summary/demonstration of basic acoustic guitar maintenance I have ever seen. Wish I was closer to Atlanta—thanks guys, for this video.

I’ve always struggled to get the right amount of wraps for a string and the 1 fret trick is the best thing I’ve seen!

I've changed strings hundreds of times over the past 40 years and it's nice to see that a professional agrees with the way I've changed them. I've had arguments about it over the years with other players that do all kinds of weird knots and there is just no reason for it.

Really good tips on acoustic guitar care and setup. Caveat: I do sight the neck when evaluating a guitar but I am not looking for relief, I am looking for twist or other significant neck problems. Those (I think) do show up when sighting down the neck.

It is always good to have friends and colleagues who are not afraid to tell you the truth and back it up with common sense and logic. Great content as usual.

This is seriously one of the greatest videos ever. As a working musician for many many years I can’t tell you how useful this has been.

What a game-changing video. I've been terrified to do anything to my acoustic guitar and BOOM you and Ben just simplified things so much. I like to do some of the work on my electric guitars but never felt comfortable on the acoustic for some reason. You also made my day with a couple of things you showed that I have been doing correctly (I guess I watched the right videos... HAH HAH) on my electric guitars like how I have measured the relief and also with my rosewood fretboards NOT saturating them with a ton of oil and leaving it on there but instead wiping it off right away. One funny thing was when Ben said not to sight along the neck I really enjoyed the way you handled being shown something different than what you've done in the past. I have always respected you greatly, Rhett, and you increased my respect for you by showing a willingness to learn. Good on you, sir!!! And now I have to make a trip down to Big House Guitars since I live in the suburbs of Atlanta.
