Setups
Every instrument will benefit from a true professional setup. When you bring your guitar to us for a setup, you can trust that it will leave the bench playing in tune and ready for the stage or studio. We recommend this service at least once a year, or as needed seasonally.
​
If we discover upon inspection of an instrument that we are unable to complete one of our professional setups due to the condition of the instrument or hardware, we will contact you to discuss any additional work necessary to achieve a proper setup.
Setups do not include the price of strings.
