It's a misconception that when you buy a new guitar it's ready to play. Most people assume that it's already been setup. Sometimes a salesman will restring the guitar..or blindly have a stab at it with an allen key at the bridge or even worse the truss rod.. without understanding what they are doing. Maybe you have a friend who thinks he knows a bit.. and you'll entrust your guitar to him!

The fact is guitars.. electric and acoustic are mass produced and leave the factory in a barely playable condition (if you're lucky). They then go straight onto the shop wall. We can make all the necessary adjustments.to ensure your guitar will play the best that it can. We often see customers who have had their guitar for a few years and are putting up with a high action.. poor intonation or worse. They are amazed at how much better their guitar plays after we set it up. Here is the list of some of the settings we adjust on your guitar as part of a general setup.

• Check for initial problems at book in
• Log settings and serial number into database
• Adjustment of Truss Rod for proper neck relief
• Set intonation compensation
• set string arc (saddle height)
• Adjust action as required
• Set pickup height and string balance
• Redefine nut slots or shim and recut nut as required
• Clean & treat fingerboard
• Polish frets
• Check all hardware for correct operation
• Tighten machine heads and pot/socket nuts
• Oil metal moving parts
• Lubricate pots and switches
• Tighten strap buttons
• Replace missing screws
• Thorough play check
