How to set up a guitar

Bookmark or print this page because it is essential info for beginner guitarists. Here’s an excerpt:
“The techniques I have described
are only one way of doing things; there is no one right method,
though some methods are quicker and easier than others. What is
more important than rigidly adhering to a set of techniques is to
understand the theory behind the techniques. Understanding the
theory provides you with a basis for separating the facts in guitar
set-up from the abundant mythology. Once you understand what you
are trying to accomplish (the theory) you can adopt, or adapt,
specific techniques for accomplishing each task.
While the following discussion strictly applies to steel string
acoustic guitars, the basic theory is the same for classical and
electric guitars, as well as a wide variety of other fretted string
instruments.” Basic Guitar setup
