All-Inclusive Setup — Starting at $75

Is It Time for a Setup?

Your instrument may benefit from a professional setup if:

• It's difficult or uncomfortable to play.

• The strings are old, rusty, or dull sounding.

• It won't stay in tune.

• The action feels too high or too low.

• You hear fret buzz.

• Chords don't sound in tune higher up the neck.

• You've changed string gauges or haven't had a setup in over a year.

What's Included

New Strings

We install a fresh set of quality strings to restore tone, improve tuning stability, and give your instrument a fresh feel.

Cleaning & Conditioning

Your instrument receives a thorough cleaning, fretboard conditioning (when appropriate), body polish, and an inspection of tuners, hardware, and the output jack.

Complete Setup

We carefully adjust the truss rod, string action, neck relief, and intonation so your guitar or bass feels comfortable and performs the way it was designed to.

Electronics Inspection

We'll inspect switches, controls, pickups, and output jacks, correcting many common electronic issues when possible. If additional repair is needed, we'll explain your options before any work is performed.

Why a Professional Setup Matters

A proper setup can:

• Make your instrument easier and more enjoyable to play.

• Improve tuning stability.

• Reduce unwanted fret buzz.

• Improve intonation so notes stay in tune across the fretboard.

• Help your guitar or bass reach its full potential.

Many players are surprised by how much better their instrument feels after a professional setup.
