Fender Stratocaster – Setup

What a beautiful piece of wood!  A lovely American Strat’, just needs a setup.

The neck was rather flat.

so ease off on the truss-rod a little.

Adjusting the neck relief will throw the action at the 12th fret, so that needs to be reset.

Starting with the outside “E” strings.

and then the others, to match the radius of the fret-board.

The action at the first fret was fine.

But the intonation was a little off.

So there it is, playing just as good as it looks.
