How To Set Up An Electric Guitar. John Mayer Fender Stratocaster service, setup, and wiring mod.

In this video I service and set up a John Mayer signature model Fender Stratocaster. I also install my favourite strat wiring mod, a rotary switch that gives two extra humbucking series coil tones. I also have to do a minor repair and replace a bridge saddle grub screw.

Another REALLY informative & helpful video Rob, thank you! As a U.K.-based fellow bass player, it's great to compare your & Crimson Guitars' set-up process. Best of both worlds! Now, could you please do a very similar vid for a bass next, please? Cheers!

[@RobMods]

Thanks mate. I'm glad you liked the video!

When adjusting the intonation, I place a card on top of the guitar behind the bridge. When the screwdriver slips, it won't damage the finish

I'm always worried you're going to bonk a guitar on the bench, but you never seem to. I know I sure would. 😂 I like the mod you included. I'm going to add it to one of my guitars.

[@RobMods]

Ha ha. Since making these videos, I've also noticed when editing, just how close the guitar sometimes comes to the bench. Just yesterday I found some weather stripping to stick on there as a precaution. I used to have the non slip matting folded over the edge for that reason, but I got sick of retreading it every time I washed it.

Are u based in Sydney? Wouldnt mind have you look at a few of my guitars!

[@RobMods]

Sorry mate, I'm not in Sydney.

[@melaserrano]

I just bought one. Is it really low output? I can’t hear anything with under volume 8

[@RobMods]

I didn't notice that the output was very low with this guitar. Perhaps there's a problem with the electronics with yours.

@@RobMods good to know I will need it checked then. Missed this when I tried it out.
