Restrings & Setups

This is the one job I'll always do fast — on purpose. Same-day, on-the-spot, dialed in while you watch. Perfect for guitars that are clean and generally well-maintained. Walk in frustrated – walk out excited to play.

🔥 Perfect Action

The goal isn't just "lower". It's the experience of even, predictable, comfortable pressure with just a little resistance for feel. You want the strings to have enough room to vibrate, and not much more. I work through every variable systematically, then I adjust for actual feel. Because action is math, I can measure everything to the thousandth of an inch and apply my player-tested formula. I will either dial in perfect action, or explain your guitar’s current limitations that cannot be solved with just an action adjustment.

🧽 Fretboard Cleanup

Your fingerboard and frets get all the abuse. Oils from your skin catch dirt and calcify into some pretty gnarly grime that doesn’t wipe off. With the strings off, I can polish the frets and polish/oil the fingerboard. It feels a little like a new guitar again.

🎸 Fresh Strings

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.
