i use currently on a 7 string 26.5 scale, (GDGCFAD) 74-54-44-30-17-13-10 tension is perfect IMO.
E standard, 8-38, 25.5"
I use a 2013 dean trans am with dr ddt 11-54 strings in drop c tuning and emg H4a/H4 (passive pickups)
tell me who makes the your guitar and some not all but some one get hurt so badly they die…. now tell me!!!
Flat bridge SSS strat with the middle pickup all the way down on 12-52 tuned to C# standard or E standard if im stretching some new strings. Its a gentle right hand setup, that i like a lot for noodling. If i spent time, I could probably tune it to B without new strings. I might try it on 14s next but im having a lot of fun cranking this cheap strat.
Great video, the measurements were a nice addition most youtube videos lack. I'm using a 2008 hagstrom supersweed which Ernie ball 11-42 gage.
Woodbine Warlord C#sharp 54-12 gauge
thanks for the video, i have a question i had the luthier setup my guitar to Bb standard but wish to change it back to E standard is there any additional steps i would need to follow?
Good thing about doom, if you got 1 finger you can play it…..
To add to the information about intonation – make sure you are using the softest touch possible when fretting at the 12th fret. If you press too hard, the note will go sharp, thereby causing you to improperly adjust the guitar's intonation.
Also, each time you change the saddle position, check and correct the action height then retune.
I like to make small adjustments on one string, then move on to the next string. This will let the hardware and string "settle in" to its last adjustment before I come back and make the next round of adjustments.
Shecter Ultra VI, E standard tuning one octave below (sitting in the octave between standard guitar and standard bass), 21-80 guage strings. It's fun, versatile, and I have butcher blocks for hands, so, easy to play, personally speaking.
The problem I’m running into is I’m tuned extremely low. My lowest string is a low F# and I can’t get the saddle to move back enough to properly intimate. If you or anybody else has any suggestions way to solve this issue I would much appreciate it.
We actually play in e flat, but it's now blues than it is doom. (Doom feel, but with old blues standards and such.)

What guitar is this??
This is the best video I found on setting up a guitar by far – so easy to follow and very thorough without wasting time. You rock!????
what kind of pickups does he use?
ESP LTD EC-50, i usually use fender strings 10'. Can i make it sound good from a 10w amp with no pedals?
Doom or not, this is one of the best guitar tech videos I’ve ever seen for beginners!
I use 12 gage strings I tune down to a b tuning it works pretty good
Thank You So Much ✅. Really great lesson. I Tune to D Standard on my 1992 Les Paul Studio w/ Ernie Ball Paradigm 11-54 strings. Metal Forever ????
Lifesaver, thank you one million times!
What about having to cut the nut to accommodate string size going up ?
Thank you for this great tutorial ! Idid a poor setup on my first guitar years ago… I just discovered i did a lot of mistakes. Playing it is amazing now !
This info is absolute gold for anyone looking to service their own guitar, whether it be for low-tuning reasons or not. Thank you so much and keep on doomin' on! Corny, I know.
Not outta C Standard mind you. Like Mastodon but a half step higher. I’ve recently started calling it Drop 5th since it’s tuned to the open 5th. But then I’ll also go to G# Unison as well plus a weird dissonance tuning on the high e. Anyways. I’m pretty close to the finished formula just wanna see if anyone else understands a thing I’m tryna say ????????????????????????????
Who wants to talk about Drop A#??!
Thank you. I’ve been playing for 25 years and never learned to do this. Much appreciated for Straight forward tutorial.
Nice Video. I have the Same strings like you. Dropped down to C but on the second fret I am far away From a D!? I spent Hours and tried everything to fix it ???? do you have an Idea ? Thx
Epi Prophecy LP Olive tiger aged gloss, Ernie Ball skinny top heavy bottom 10 – 52, C standard. Southern metal playing style. Watching this to get that sweet spot! Fingers crossed…. Epiphone has frustrated me with setups from factory, but…ya get whut ya pay fer! lol
I’m trying to set up my Gibson sg tribute I just got with Ernie ball not even slinky’s (12-56) but some of the strings won’t change how sharp the twelfth fret is no matter how much I move the saddles. What should I do to try and fix this or should I take it some one to set it up?
Modded squier baritone telecaster, B standard, with 12-62 mammoth slinky strings
thank you
Thanks for the info. ????????????????
Don’t be afraid to try shit yall. I use a triple bucker Partscaster with a Tele neck, push pull coil split. Drop c tuning. 11-49 strings but thinking of going to 12s and drop b. ????????????
Dunable yeti w/ 10s and baphomet drop C
Good stuff man!
a#: .012 F: .016 C#: .024w g#: .038 D#: .052 A#/G#: .074 for Switching between A# standard and Drop G#
(27" scale)
For now I just buy a pack of Elixir Nanoweb Baritone 12-68's, and switch out the 68 and 22p for any good quality roundwound 74 and 24w for personal preference (The thin wound 24 for extra pick-scrapey madness while still bendable on the 1st fret, and the 74 for downtuning)
