Watch Rickie at the Gibson Garage Nashville prepping an Epiphone Les Paul Custom Jerry Cantrell to go out on the floor ready for you to play.
We're not calling this guitar ASMR, we're calling it GuitarSMR! Make sure to follow for part 3.
When you visit the Gibson Garage, whether in Nashville, or London, it's an experience all in itself. To make that experience even more magical, our expert luthiers take an already professionally set up guitar and give it one more once over before it heads out to the floor on the Gibson Garage, Nashville, ready for you to try it out, play it and really see what your guitar can do.
In this next part, watch as Rickie at Gibson Garage in Nashville shows you how to fine-tune a guitar to Gibson’s precise setup specs. In this step-by-step process, Rickie removes the protective plastics from the pickguard for that satisfying slow reveal before checking the setup - because we all love an unboxing/unpacking video.
Watch as he explains how to return the guitar to pitch and double-checks key setup points to Gibson Spec, like setting the neck relief at 0.010 inches, the bass side at 6/64", and the treble side at 3/64", ensuring the action is low and fast for smooth playability. Rickie also demonstrates the importance of stretching new strings, explaining how it stabilizes them so the guitar stays in tune longer, minimizing the need for constant re-tuning. This is essential guitar set up tips for new and experienced players!
