Gibson’s recommended method for accomplishing this is to place a capo slightly behind the first fret then press down on the low E (thickest) string just behind the 14th fret with your finger. I always recommend tuning in playing position whenever possible as tuning the guitar as it lies on its back can often differ.Ī good starting position for any setup is to check the guitars neck relief. If your Les Paul seems a little out of whack then follow the guide carefully and together we’ll get her singing again.įirstly you should tune your guitar to your usual playing preference. Today I’ll be performing a full setup on a Les Paul style guitar.
