I'm curious how much of a difference there is between Pythagorean and Equal temperment, mainly how many cents difference there would be between being in tune to one tempement compared to being in tune with the other. If the difference is less than the accuracy of the tuner you are using, tuning by harmonics could still be benifitial. Then theres the problem with harmonic tuning in that any difference between the two would accumulate as you tune each string to the last. Ok now im falling in that hole and am gonna stop. I dont have a guitar or tuner with me, so this can wait. But if anyone has any good reads on the subjec please share. |

As you can see, 3rds are the worst. Hence, the tuning problems on the f# on the first string when playing a typical D major chord. |

So I’ll be adding a classical guitar to my list of setup projects!!
Funny little background story … out of nowhere my wife (a/k/a She Who Must Be Obeyed) goes, “I wanna buy you a guitar as a present.” Whoa. The only stipulation was that I had to get it that day (last Saturday) … and of course we had a prior engagement and she knew it would be cutting it close to store closing time. Suffice to say, she underestimated the sense of urgency that can be brought to bear quickly when a new guitar is on the line. So wanting to round out my collection of 2 6-strings and an electric, I opted for a classical – something I always wanted. I settled on a Cordoba C5. I played the C7 as well as a used (slightly dented) Esteve (sp?) and decided on the brand new C5 partly for the sound and partly for the price range. I’ve been doing some research and am appreciating the nuances of a classical guitar, in particular the tension of nylon strings and its effect on action (or limitations thereof). I’ve got some Gotoh tuners on the way and was going to go with some mammoth ivory blank nut and saddle but evidently those are backordered. I plan to just do a tuner upgrade and then do a setup with just the stock bone nut and saddle for now. I do want to lower the action but I want to be cognizant of how the nylon strings will react.

In doing some research on the classical, I came across this …

This is just to say "hello". We are very fortunate to have such talented folks here of the AGForum. Especially ones that are willing to freely share that talent! I have printed out you article on Basic Guitar Set-up 101 and plan to study it carefully. Thanks!

There are probably some things that should be updated and added to, but the basics are there. It was written at a time when little was available on the subject, the internet wasn't as widely used as it is now and before the time of Youtube. I've debated making some Youtube videos that illustrate the steps, but there is already a lot out there. I don't see any reason to duplicate it. I'd need to answer the question, "What can I uniquely bring to the subject that hasn't already been covered?" |

If you do a Google search on "basic guitar setup 101", you'll find a number of versions of it, even going back to the days of ascii "illustrations". (You'll also find a lot of imitations/permutations of it.) All have been captured by someone or other at some point in time. Some with my permission, others not. Just be aware that although they live on forever in cyberspace, they don't get updated. And it is need of some update, which will probably get done soon, when it gets moved to a new server.
