05 · What players say

Real results from real players.

My Les Paul finally sounds clear — no more muddy neck pickup. The humbucker height specs were exactly what I needed. Worth every penny.

David R. · Les Paul Standard Owner

I was intimidated by the Tune-o-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece. This guide broke it down into simple steps with exact measurements. My SG plays better than it did when it left the factory.

Mike T. · SG Player

Finally, Gibson-specific specs in one place. No more guessing whether Fender measurements apply. The printable workbench cards are genius — I keep them right next to my guitar.

06 · FAQ

Common questions.

What guitars does this guide cover?
The guide covers Gibson Les Paul and SG models specifically — including Standard, Custom, Studio, Classic, and Tribute variants. Applies to all Gibson electrics with Tune-o-Matic bridges.
Do I need special tools?
You'll need a few inexpensive tools — a 5/16 inch box wrench for the truss rod, a string height gauge (~$8), a set of feeler gauges (~$8), and the tools that came with your guitar. The guide includes a complete tool shopping list so you know exactly what to buy and what to skip. Total cost is about ~$40.
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 on Gibson's angled headstock. It tells you to work in 1/8 turn increments, wait between adjustments, and when to stop. Thousands of players set up their own Gibsons safely every day using these exact specs.
What format is the guide?
It's a 54-page searchable PDF (24.8 MB) that you can download instantly after purchase. It includes printable reference cards 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 Gibson better than before, email me for a full refund.
