Didn't you build plastic model kits as a kid?!?!?

I don't know of any video version and I figure that learning your own way of doing it from Rich's guides is probably the best way of doing in the long run.

 

that would be rad to have.
thanks to that guide, and y'all- I can now set my guitars up in my sleep.

 

It doesn't help the fact that website is still written in psychodelic theme with countless color words.

I literally have to use an browser extension to disable all that and transform it to one color and better aligned to be easier to read

I wonder if mechanics learned to mechanic by reading "written guides"

Do shoe cobblers learn by reading internet guides? I keep wondering

Yes, they were called Service Manuals.

 

And when you were working on your car at home (in the UK at least) you bought a "Haynes Repair Manual" for your car that told you everything you needed to know!!! Apart from how to swear creatively enough when you inevitably skinned your knuckles on something!

 

Nice work tackling that JEM JR setup, first ones are always the toughest! Totally agree, Rich’s guide is great but can be dense without visuals. Check out StewMac, Dave’s World of Fun Stuff, and Ibanez’s own setup videos on YouTube.
Once you’ve done one, the rest get way easier.

 

For someone new to this, you're safer going with the written instructions as the tendency with videos is for us to see "enough" to keep going. Keep in mind, you're looking at a deep-dive so it's not something a casual user should necessarily expect to grasp right away. If one can't follow Rich's instructions it's likely that you need to get a general understanding of Floyds, setups, etc. When I first discovered them, years ago, they were perfect because I was already doing set-ups and Rich's guides detailed the small things that were relevant to these specific guitars.
