Basic guitar setup on a new Gretsch 5427 anyone can do. In this video I change out the factory round wound strings for a fresh new set of Thomastik Infeld Jazz Swing flat wound strings, using a few simple tools and published setup specifications. I also give the guitar a full setup including neck relief, string action, intonation and pickup height, with tips for stringing a Bigsby tremolo bridge. Thanks for watching and time stamps below.
