Getting the PERFECT setup starts with accurate measurements at a number of critical points on the guitar.

In this Trade Secret, Blake demonstrates fast and accurate ways to measure the height of your action at the 1st fret, the 12th fret, get accurate fingerboard radius readings, and check your radius at the saddle.

If you're new to guitar repair or thinking of trying to adjust your action yourself, this is a good one to check out.
