Set-ups and Repairs

In addition to custom acoustics, I also perform setups and repairs,

on both acoustic and electric guitars:

What is include in a setup

• Neck relief (truss rod adjustment) for ideal action and playability

• Nut height and slot dressing for clean open-string intonation and tuning stability

• String height (action) at the 12th fret for comfortable playing and proper string clearance

• Intonation adjustment at the bridge/saddles so notes and chords are in tune up the neck

• Fret condition check and minor fret dressing/leveling when needed

• Pickup height (electric) and electronics check for balanced output and noise-free operation

• Bridge/saddle adjustment (acoustic) for optimal string angle and resonance

• Tuning, stretch and final playcheck across styles and positions

What I need from you

• Type of guitar (acoustic or electric), make/model if possible

• Current string gauge and whether you want a change

• Any playability issues you notice (buzzing, high action, dead frets, tuning problems)

• Preferred action height at 1st and 12th frets (if you have one), or playing style (light fingerstyle, heavy strumming, metal, etc.

Typical turnaround and pricing notes (examples)

• Basic setup: truss rod, action, intonation, tuning — typically 1–2 business days

• More extensive work (fret dressing, nut replacement, saddle work, electronics) may take longer and cost more

• Exact price depends on instrument condition and requested changes; I’ll provide a quote after inspection

Why a professional setup matters

• Improves playability, tuning stability, and tone

• Prevents long-term wear and damage

• Tailored to your playing style for the best feel and response
