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 cover?
Fender Stratocasters and Telecasters — all eras and variants, including Telecaster Deluxe, Squier, Player Series, American Professional, and Vintage models. Also works for DIY guitar kits based on Fender designs.
Does this work for DIY guitar kits?
Yes — if your kit is based on a Stratocaster or Telecaster design (including Telecaster Deluxe with humbuckers), the setup process is identical to a factory Fender. The guide covers tuning, truss rod adjustment, action height, pickup height, and intonation — all of which apply to kit builds the same way.
What if a saddle reaches its limit during intonation?
Start the tuning and intonation process again from scratch. A saddle hitting its limit usually means the open string was slightly out of tune before you began — even a few cents flat can push the saddle to its travel limit. Retune all strings to pitch (always tune up, never down), then re-intonate starting from low E. If the problem persists on the G string (common on Telecaster-style bridges), check the nut slot for pinching and verify the bridge is mounted at the correct scale length.
Do I need special tools?
A string height gauge (~$8), feeler gauges (~$8), and the Allen keys that came with your guitar. Total ~$40. The guide includes a complete shopping list.
I'm a complete beginner — will I understand this?
Yes. Plain language, clear photos, exact measurements. Every step tells you exactly what to measure and when to stop.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes — 30-day, no-questions-asked. If it doesn't help you set up your guitar better, email for a full refund.
What format is it?
A 39-page searchable PDF (about 5 MB), instant download. Includes printable reference cards designed for your workbench.
Will I get future updates?
Yes. All future updates are free — you'll receive a new download link by email.
