Setup - A well set up and properly intonated guitar plays easier and sounds better than a guitar that is not set up properly. A setup includes the following as necessary: String replacement (strings extra) Truss rod, bridge, and nut slot adjustment. Balance tremolo. Set action and intonation. Clean and check electronics, adjust pickups. Clean and polish guitar. Tip: Because guitars are made of wood and metal under tension from the strings, they are effected by weather changes and time. Even most new guitars can benefit from a setup. Guitar factories adjust guitars to their specifications, which may or may not suit your particular style. Action is sometimes set high to avoid buzzing frets. Most players prefer a low action for ease of playing. Guitar adjustments may also "drift" between the time they leave the factory and end up in your hands. I recommend having your instrument set up and maintained at least on an annual basis. Setup |

| Fretwork - Loose or worn frets will cause buzzing and intonation problems. Guitars that are played on a regular basis will have fretwear. This can be repaired by leveling the frets and recrowning them. If the frets are worn too far, the guitar may need a partial or complete re-fret. Fretwork should always be done in combination with a setup as it has a significant effect on the guitar. The middle column is the price you pay if you also pay for a setup (see above). The last column is the price for fretwork without setup. Parts not included in pricing. |
