Guitar Setup
A professional electric guitar setup, aside how well you play, is how your guitar delivers the richest sound quality. A guitar set up balances the numerous settings that affect tuning, tone, and playability.
If you need electric guitar repair you should explore our electric guitar luthier services.
What Does a Setup Do for My Guitar?
A professional guitar setup effectively balances the numerous settings between the parts of your guitar. This enables proper tone and resolves playability problems such as incorrect intonation, fret buzz, fret out, rough fret ends, incorrect string height and pickup height. Inspecting and cleaning keeps your guitar looking great and can uncover hidden or potential problems.
What is Included in a Guitar Setup?
A guitar setup is a formal process which requires many guitar tech specialty tools. To complete a more precise guitar setup our shop utilizes a Korg strobe digital tuner. We will inspect key components and, based on what we find, make necessary mechanical adjustments. Often, items such as your truss rod do not need adjustment. We tailor our services to match factory guitar setup specifications (or better). We can customize your guitar setup to match your style and preferences.

How often should you get a guitar setup?
For the average person, your guitar may need a setup setup every year or so. This number could change quite a bit if you play a lot or your guitar is subject to temperature and humidity fluctuations. Since a setup affects playability you should get a setup, at least a checkup, anytime things don't seem right. If you experience string buzz or it simply doesn't feel right it probably does need some form of technical adjustments.
