Buzzkill walks you through every setup step in order — neck relief, action, nut height, intonation, pickup height — each checked against precise targets built for your exact model, string gauge, and tuning.
Most guitars never get the setup they actually need — and getting it right on your own has always been a guessing game.
Factory setups survive shipping and shelf time, not to play well — safe, generic settings, not ones tuned to you.
Drop tunings, hybrid sets, varying radii and scale lengths — today’s players need setups matched to real specs, not old rules of thumb.
Neck relief, action, nut and pickup height are decided in fractions of a millimetre — “feel” alone needs real numbers to back it up.
A proper setup can run over $100 and mean weeks without your guitar — if you can find a tech who knows your guitar.
Old forum threads, countless YouTube videos — it’s hard to know which advice actually applies to you.
Wood moves with the seasons, strings settle, and tunings change — a setup that felt perfect last month can drift without warning.
Every step walks you to the next adjustment point in order, checked against targets built for your specific guitar and how you play.
Inspired by TRAIN — Tuning, Relief, Action, Intonation, Nut — the trusted sequence techs use, Buzzkill guides each adjustment so it builds on one that's already correct.
Precise measurements recommended across a range of checks such as action and pickup height - calculated from your exact model, scale length, string gauge and tuning, not a generic chart.
Get adjustment guidance specific to your guitar model — plus the industry quick checks techs use, so you know exactly what to turn and by how much.
Pick your brand and model, your string gauge, and your tuning — Buzzkill builds your targets from your exact setup, not a generic chart.
Neck relief, action, nut height, intonation, pickup height — one guided step at a time. A couple of tools or a few quick photos at each step are all Buzzkill needs to diagnose it.
See exactly what's off, by how much, and what to adjust — then save your setup as a preset to revisit later, across other guitars, or share with other players.
