Description from the creator

-In this segment, I go into great detail on how to set the action and intonation on this beautiful '52 Telecaster Reissue. There's also a host of useful nuggets along the way.

Points covered include:
- Stretching the strings properly - very important for stable tuning.
- Setting string height.
- Setting the radius to match the neck.
- Setting the intonation.

Relative coin dimensions used for measurement:
Dime = 1.35 mm / .705 inches
Nickel = 1.95 mm / .077 inches
Quarter = 1.75 mm / .069 inches

Getting ready for the final test drive!
