Setting Up A Cheap Archtop Guitar | Cleaning, Neck Adjustment, Fret Leveling, & Intonation Setting

In this video, I show you what I did to clean up and set up a very cheap jazz archtop guitar. This is a Jay Turser Monterey that I featured in a video a while back. During this setup, I did all kinds of things, including showing you what I do to clean guitars when I get them. I also show you what I do to perform a simple neck and intonation adjustment. I ended up getting this guitar to play pretty well, and I was pretty happy with the end result. Let me know if you have any questions. Leave me a comment, and thanks for watching!

Also, I have hundreds of other lessons for guitar players who like Jazz, Blues, Bebop, and Fingerstyle guitar arrangements. There are also a lot of lessons on guitar technique and guitar scales, along with exercises meant to build your chops. Check them all out here: https://guitarcollegelibrary.com/
Streaming and download formats for both subscription and individual lessons are available.

His education includes years of college and private instruction with a variety of teachers, including Mitch Holder, Ted Greene, Joe Pass, and Charlie Shoemake, to name a few. He feels education is a continuing process. There's always more to learn. Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, Howard Roberts, Ted Greene, and Larry Carleton have all influenced his playing.

Rich wrote three books for a major publisher, Dale Zdenek/ Belwin Mills/Columbia, providing him the opportunity to work with other great artists/authors like Tommy Tedesco, Joe Diorio, and Ted Greene. After teaching at GIT/Musicians Institute, in Hollywood, CA, for three years, he developed and published his own home study guitar school-type curriculum available on his website www.GuitarCollegeLibrary.com which has helped over ten thousand students improve their playing.

Rich has won honorable mentions and awards in songwriting and served as president of the Ventura County Producers and Songwriters Guild. Touring for three years with "Dick Clark's Good Old Rock and Roll Show," he had the opportunity to perform with Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Little Anthony, and many other great, old-time rock and rollers.

After moving his family to the Yosemite/Fresno area, he taught guitar and directed the jazz band at Fresno Pacific University for two years. Being a well-rounded player, Rich is comfortable playing a variety of styles, including jazz (his favorite), blues, rock, fusion, country, and solo fingerstyle. He performs at local venues in a number of different scenarios, as a solo guitarist, with his jazz trio or quartet or smooth jazz quintet.
