A more precise guitar setup in Nottingham
I’m upgrading my fretwork bench with three specialist StewMac tools. They’re on their way, and each has a specific role in a careful, measurement-led setup.
The result is a far more complete picture of what your neck and frets are actually doing. Proper’s maps the whole neck, the Fretbar lets me correct tension-dependent fret problems at pitch, and the Centered Z-File restores accurate crowns. Combined with precise nut-slot, action and intonation measurements, this supports more consistent, cleaner-playing and genuinely player-specific setups. The final achievable result will always depend on the condition of the instrument.
