I’ve never really been into guitar setup aside just getting a low action, but I’ve heard a good setup really changes the sound so I’m thinking about grabbing this with some pickups for my strat since it’s gonna be apart anyways, mainly since I’ve been debating on getting them worked on its just I don’t like the idea of needing someone else to do it for me. But when I asked someone at guitar center about similar kits they said I shouldn’t have to worry about that unless I’m obsessed with getting a certain sound (playing punk music so like, not really my main concern)

something like this is very nice to have for sure, you don't really need it since the really basic tools you probably already have

no

#

half the tools you need already come for free with your guitar

#

it's literally just like 2-3 allen wrenches

#

these setup tool kits are overpriced as fuck

#

also no

#

a good setup doesn't get you a certain sound or whatever

#

it's more about playability
