What guitars does this guide cover?
All steel-string acoustic guitars. Includes dedicated chapters for Taylor (GS Mini, Academy, 114ce, 214ce, 314ce, 814ce) and Martin (D-28, D-18, 000-15M, OM-28, GPC-16E), plus quick reference specs for Yamaha, Guild, Takamine, and Seagull.
Do I need special tools?
A feeler gauge (~$8), precision ruler, correct truss rod wrench, sandpaper, and a flat surface. Total ~$45. The guide includes a complete shopping list with brand-specific wrench sizes so you know exactly what to buy.
I'm a complete beginner — will I understand this?
Yes. The guide is written for beginners and uses plain language, clear photos, and exact measurements. You don't need any prior setup experience. Every step tells you exactly what to measure, what number to aim for, and when to stop.
Can I damage my guitar following this guide?
The guide includes safety warnings at every step where there's risk — especially truss rod adjustments and saddle sanding. It tells you to work in small increments, wait between adjustments, and when to stop. Thousands of players set up their own acoustics safely using these exact specs.
What format is the guide?
It's a comprehensive searchable PDF that you can download instantly after purchase. It includes printable reference cards and a complete setup checklist designed to be used at your workbench — no internet required.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes — 30-day, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee. If the guide doesn't help you set up your acoustic better than before, email me for a full refund.
How is this different from free setup info online?
Free guides are scattered across dozens of forums and YouTube videos, often with conflicting advice. This guide puts every acoustic spec you need in one organized, printable document — tested measurements, correct order of operations, and troubleshooting flowcharts. No ads, no conflicting opinions, no searching.
Will I get future updates?
Yes. All future updates are free. When the guide is updated, you'll receive a new download link by email at no extra cost.
