I recently got a new LP. The one I chose, I chose because of the 10 or so I tried, felt like it played the best. Or felt the best. No buzzing or hums. Action seems fine. The last time I owned guitars was before the internet days. So, I've read and watched videos online, which might be my own undoing, but I keep seeing claims that guitars are not truly set up "new". So, I'm puzzled to know what is not set up for the guitar I have. How does one know? I've had guitars a long time ago that required small adjustments here or there, but I never got anything out and started taking precise measurements. I recently started watching a 40 minute YT video of a set up and shut it off 10 minutes into it. I'm really not worried, just more curious than anything else.
Three questions:
The guitar I have, could it be just lucky that it plays well? Could it play better?
What am I missing? Or what will I gain by getting my guitar set up?
If I've never set up a guitar, how much of a cluster is it to do? I don't have any tools or gauges. I'd probably follow along one of the dozes of videos I've run across.
