Guitar Setup: Just like your own body and your car, your guitar needs regular checkups and tuneups. When you have your guitar setup, we will examine your instrument and adjust the neck and the string height, paying close attention to the condition of the nut and the saddle, as well as checking the amount of relief provided by the truss rod. Then our adjustments are made within tolerances that are widely accepted and agreed upon by the guitar building and repair industry. We will also adjust the “action” on your guitar to best suit your style of play and choice of strings. You will be surprised at how much more “playable” your guitar becomes after we perform a setup.
Fret Dress and Recrowning (setup included): Another major factor in the “playability” of your guitar is the condition of your frets. With our Fret Dress and Recrowning, we will first level your frets, eliminating any hard to play areas and/or buzzing, and then we will reshape, recrown, and polish the frets, for maximum ease of playing. Finally, we will condition the fretboard and do a complete setup, as described above. Your frets will look and feel as good as new – often even better than new!
General Repairs and Upgrades: Whether you’d like us to install a pickup in your acoustic instrument, or replace/upgrade the existing electronics on your electric guitar or bass, we’re happy to give you a free estimate on the cost. We also will conduct a wide variety of specific and unique repairs that your guitar may require (acoustic and electric), and, again are happy to put your guitar on the rack, come up with our best solution, and provide you with a proposed timeline and free estimate on the work.
