+ Set Ups

Set ups include all neccesary adjustments to get your guitar playing its absolute best again. Changes in tempurature and humidity are often the reason behind your instrument either having string height that is too high, and therefore more physical to play, or too low which results in the strings buzzing agains the frets. All set ups include a full inspection, installation of new strings, adjustments to the truss rod, saddle height, nut slot depth and intonation as well as cleaning and conditioning the fretboard, cleaning the frets, checking and cleaning electronics, tightening and cleaning hardware, tremolo adjustments(when applicable), lubricating friction points, balancing pickup output, and cleaning of the finish. We are happy to take the time to figure out how to get your guitar playing its best for your style, as well as offer complimentary tweaks after pick up, to get it just right.

+ Fretwork

Frets play a crucial role in how your guitar will play and feel. Uneven frets can cause buzzing and may limit how low you can get your string height. Our fret levelling service includes spot levelling to maintain the life of frets, as well as dressing, recrowning, and polishing to give your neck a smooth and comfortable feeling. We also offer full refrets, reseating loose frets, and filing of sharp fret ends.

+ Modifications

Specific modifications to your instrument can help achieve one that is perfectly suited to your required performance and style. This can include upgrades to your tuners, bridge, pickups and wiring. On acoustic instruments it often includes better nut and saddle material and pickup installations. There is a huge array of products, with the options seemingly overwhelming. We can offer our experience and go over options to help you make the right decision.
