Guitar Setups

This is the secret sauce to any guitar. If a guitar does not feel good to play, is buzzing, or is playing out of tune a setup is what it needs! We offer setups for acoustics, electrics. basses, ukes, and mandolins!

Our standard setups include:

  • addressing the neck relief (truss rod)

  • setting the action (saddle heights)

  • improving intonation (tweak saddle location when possible)

  • restringing instrument

  • filing nut slots

  • oiling fingerboard and bridge

  • tightening all hardware

  • balancing pickup heights

  • cleaning instrument (upcharge if it's really gross)

You’ll need a setup if…

  • intonation is sharp/flat

  • you've changed your string gauge

  • action feels high, and is fatiguing

  • some notes are buzzing

  • pickups do not sound balanced

  • you pulled your guitar out of storage

  • seasons have changed
