Guitar Set-Ups

Prices apply to both acoustic and electric guitars.

While-u-wait service whenever possible.

Standard Set-Up is £30 + set of strings

Deluxe Set-Up is £45 + set of strings

Guitars used for recording or for regular gigs will benefit the most from this set-up, which combines TLC with precision tuning.   In a deluxe set-up the instrument's intonation is set using a digital strobe tuner, accurate to 1/1000 of a semi-tone.

Please note - 12-String Guitars and Guitars with Floyd-Rose style tremelo systems are £45 for a standard set-up. Guitars with Buzz-Feiten tuning systems are only eligible for deluxe set-ups.
