02 · The problem

Free setup advice is scattered,
inconsistent, and often wrong.

06 · FAQ

Common questions.

Is this a subscription?
No — it's a one-time payment. Pay once and the guide (including all future updates) is yours. No recurring charges, nothing to cancel.
What guitars does this guide cover?
A measurement and diagnosis workflow for steel-string acoustics, with nylon/crossover distinctions. Includes sourced Taylor, Martin and Yamaha examples and hardware notes for Guild, Takamine and Seagull/Godin. It does not prescribe one specification for every model.
Do I need special tools?
For measurement, use a tuner, ruler or action gauge, feeler gauges and a capo where the method requires one. Confirm the exact adjustment tool with your manufacturer before turning a rod. Repair tools are not required just to record a setup.
I'm a complete beginner — will I understand this?
The guide uses plain language, measurement instructions, diagnostic tables and printable records. It distinguishes checks you can make from model-specific adjustments and repair work.
Can I damage my guitar following this guide?
Adjustment and material removal can damage an instrument if the method or hardware is wrong. The guide explains tool verification, manufacturer procedures and stop conditions. It does not guarantee a risk-free repair or replace model-specific service advice.
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?
It brings a measurement sequence, sourced hardware examples, diagnostic tables, humidity diary and printable setup record into one document. The practical value is a repeatable workflow and notes for your own instrument.
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.
