Guitar Setup Services

Full Guitar Setup

A full setup helps your guitar feel more comfortable and play consistently. We assess the instrument, then adjust key elements such as action and intonation to suit its condition and your playing preferences. The goal is a guitar that feels easier to play and stays in tune more reliably. We’ll discuss any additional needs before work begins.

Action Adjustment

High or uneven action can make a guitar tiring to play, while very low strings may buzz. We check how the instrument responds and adjust string height with your preferred feel in mind. The right result depends on the guitar and your playing style, so we’ll consider both before making changes. This service can be requested on its own or as part of a setup.

Intonation Check

If notes sound out of tune as you move up the neck, intonation may need attention. We check how the guitar plays at different fret positions and make appropriate adjustments. This can help chords and individual notes sound more consistent across the fretboard. We also look for related setup issues that may affect the result and explain any recommended next steps.

Tuning Stability

A guitar that keeps slipping out of tune can interrupt practice and performance. We inspect setup-related factors that may contribute, including string seating and the instrument’s general adjustment. We’ll identify what we can address during the service and discuss anything that may need separate repair. Bring along any details about when the tuning problem happens to help guide the assessment.
