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 cover?
Common Stratocaster and Telecaster setup methods, plus Jaguar, Jazzmaster and Mustang hardware checks and offset pickup records. Identify the installed neck, bridge and pickups first. It does not provide an exact factory table for every model, era or modification.
Does this work for DIY guitar kits?
The measurement and recording methods can help with an assembled Strat-style or Tele-style kit, but its neck, bridge and pickup supplier instructions take priority. A Fender-shaped body does not establish correct scale placement, neck angle or tool sizes.
What if a saddle reaches its limit during intonation?
Recheck open tuning and fretting pressure, then string condition, saddle orientation and remaining travel. Check the bridge and neck combination if the problem persists. The worksheet helps record the fault; it does not treat every travel limit as a tuning error or recommend cutting parts without diagnosis.
Do I need special tools?
A string height gauge (~$8), feeler gauges (~$8), a tuner, capo and tools that fit your actual hardware. A basic electric toolkit is approximately ~$40; check what you already own.
I'm a complete beginner — will I understand this?
The guide uses plain language, tables and blank records. It explains what to measure and when to stop. It is a measurement workbook, not a photo repair manual; nut filing, fret work and structural repairs need additional skills.
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?
An 18-page searchable PDF, approximately 64 KB, with printable setup and offset pickup records. The preview images show real pages from this edition.
Will I get future updates?
Yes. Future updates are included. The existing paid download serves the current edition; contact us if you need help accessing your purchase.
