A Note About Guitar Setups
As experienced guitar repairers, we have learned a thing or two about what makes guitars work. We want to make sure that you are getting the absolute best out of your instrument. The way to achieve this is by having your guitar set up, which means making adjustments to the guitar to ensure that the guitar functions to the best of it's ability, and that it plays great!
Although it would be great if all guitars sounded perfect and played like a dream straight from the factory floor, there are many factors that will stop your guitar achieving it's full potential. Current manufacturing quality control, relative humidity, and how the instrument is cared for are all factors that act to make your guitar not play well.
To ensure that your instrument remains well maintained, we recommend that any guitar is booked in for setup work on at least an annual basis.

​

If your guitar has had to go without it's proper care for a while, it may have also developed some crackly electronics, some oxidisation of the frets, and the general dirt and grime that forms on a guitar that has been missing it's upkeep. Our Deluxe Setup ensures that all these issues are taken care of, and your guitar is fully dialled in.
