Restring & Setup
This is the one job I'll always do fast — on purpose. Same-day, on-the-spot, dialed in while you watch. It costs a bit more because it gets my full, undivided focus for the next hour. Perfect for guitars that are clean and generally well-maintained. Walk in frustrated. Walk out excited to play.
$50-100 +strings — bring your own or buy mine ($10 and up) Variation is based on actual bench time involved in setup, 30-60 min.

🔥 Action Improvement
I'll dial in your truss rod and saddle(s) for noticeably better playability. Not as comprehensive as a Signature Setup, but you'll feel the difference.
🧽 Fretboard Cleanup
Your fingerboard and frets get all the abuse. Oils and dirt calcify into permanent grime. I can quickly level that back to clean, burnished surface for your fingers to dance across like Robert Johnson after he met the Devil.s
🎸 Fresh Strings
Restringing can be more involved than most players realize. I use a consistent, time-tested process to ensure correct break angle, minimal overwind, and a clean, tidy headstock — no dangling ends or sharp snags.
