Have you ever picked up a guitar and had it feel.... Off?

It could be the action making it uncomfortable to play, it could be the intonation is out and high chords sound out of tune, or maybe there's parts of the neck where the strings are buzzing.

Now, you could take a screwdriver to it and fumble around in the dark, randomly tweaking, hoping to stumble upon that sweet spot between action, intonation, and neck relief where everything just clicks—without really knowing if you're making things better or worse.

Or you could take it to the kid at the big box center for guitar, slap down $75 or even $100, and hope he understands what you want well enough to make the thing play the way you want it to (not that he cares - is it lunch time yet?)

What I used to do was take my guitars to a real pro - my buddy Nick Scout.

Scout has been a touring guitar tech for a bunch of different bands, including a year going around the world with Steve Vai's band.

He's built and sold his own Scout brand guitars. He's taught guitarists to become luthiers, and seen them go on to tour with huge international stars. He's run his own shop in Orlando, setting up guitars for locals as well as people who travel from all over the state to get his pro level setups.

I said to him, "Scout, what's the difference between the setup you do and the setup I'd get from the big box store? What's the magic you're doing that they're not?"

I figured there was a lot of math, a lot of elbow grease, years of muscle memory to find the perfect point where a guitar feels like something really special. 

Instead he said...

There's no magic, it's just a process!

Scout explained to me that guitar stores just do a quick and dirty shot at action and intonation, take your money, and send you on your way.

Even better - he told me that anyone can do what he does, as long as they follow the process, and put in that little extra bit of time to get exactly what they want out of the guitar. 

The Pro At Home is an online course where you'll join luthier and technician Nick Scout as he walks you through the process the pros use so you can set up your guitar to play exactly the way YOU want it.

You'll learn how to polish your frets, as well as how to clean and condition your neck, so your guitar is always in perfect playing shape.

You'll discover everything you need to know about neck relief, including how to diagnose under bow and over bow, so that you're never fretting out.

And most importantly, you'll also learn the delicate balance between intonation and action, and Scout's process for dialling in both to where your guitar feels good AND sounds good.

If you've struggled to get your guitar to play and sound amazing before, you're definitely not the only one.

I remember the first time I tried to follow a YouTube video to correct my intonation - but it somehow got worse? 

That's why Scout takes his time while walking through the process to explain not only the how, but also the why, so that when you're correcting an issue with your guitar, you're not just blindly following very specific instructions, you're measuring what exactly is out of step, and then correcting it incrementally so that you don't overshoot and damage your guitar.

Every change to your neck relief, action, or intonation begins first with using the right tool to measure exactly how far off base things are, and then consulting one of the included PDFs to see what the correct measurement is.

No guesswork, no muscle memory, no feeling around in the dark - just following the process.

It's unlikely that you'll ever get stuck in this course. But just in case you need any help, you can always ask any questions under each video, and if the team doesn't get back to you first, the community will!

The short answer is EVERYTHING.

Everything you could want to do to set up your guitar to play and sound awesome is covered in this course.

Scout has spent years not only building, repairing and setting up guitars, but also teaching others to be guitar techs, including Dante Frisiello who recently graduated from being a tech to being Steve Vai's sideman.

 
This course packs in the core elements of Scout's ten-week guitar-building masterclasses, streamlined for those who just want to set up their own guitars. 

Throughout the course, Scout shares all the secret hacks and invaluable tips he developed while working on the road with renowned acts like Mumford & Sons, Blue Man Group, Less Than Jake, Steve Vai, and many many more, ensuring you get the most out of every guitar setup.

Here's just a small sample of the things you'll discover:

• The right tools you need for a setup, and how to use them
• How to change your strings without battling your bridge
• His "quick on-stage" wind he uses to make sure there's never any string slippage at the tuning peg
• How he uses painters tape to protect his pickups - and how he takes it off so there's no spillage of metal shavings
• What you should use to clean your fretboard, and the correct way to apply it
• His technique for protecting the fretboard when cleaning the frets, leaving no scratches in the finish
• How to measure your neck relief, and how you can adjust it even if there's no truss rod access
• How setting the action and intonation works on a wide variety of bridges
• What to do when changing action knocks out intonation - and vise versa

And a whole lot more!

And best of all, this course can be applied not only to your own guitars, but you can bring back life to your friend's guitars too, or maybe even set up your own "Saturday Setup Service!"
