Expect more from your guitar.

Your axe has a lot more potential, I guarantee it. Allow me to optimize your action. To tighten, lubricate and polish everything. To care for your baby until I would play it on stage myself. No exceptions.
Effortless playing is unlocked when every fret position asks for the same finger pressure. When pressure is predictable it allows your brain to focus on the music, not the guitar.
The fretboard basically is the guitar when you are playing. Much like action, small issues become major brain distractions – sharp edges, pits, grunge, high frets, dryness...
Many myths persist about why guitars don't play or stay in tune. Much of it gets fixed by perfect action. Proper intonation and maintance on the tuners usually handles the rest.
Pots and switches get loose and they oxidize. Sometimes jacks wear out. String grounds come loose. This service handles all the small stuff to restore a smooth, reliable experience.
Way more important than you might think. Too far, and you are starving your rig of tone. Too close, and the strings are too far inside the magnetic field for optimal response.
Most guitars are in need of long-deferred maintenance. And, there is no better feeling than opening the case and seeing your baby gleaming gloriously back at you. Swoon...
Some guitars require a little more. I try to diagnose everything during drop-off, but sometimes I need to reach out when I get into the job.
Frets can make or break a guitar. Fortunately, they can always be repaired or replaced!
I'm becoming a bit of an expert in setting up 7 and 8 string guitars. With or without headstock!
I'm also becoming an expert in low tension tunings for Nu Metal, Post Hardcore, Shoegaze, etc.
Flaoting bridge guitars have some unique challenges that usually required extra attention.
Some guitars are just plain filthy. No judgment, but it does require more time.
Rusty metal, detiorating wood, blown-out screw holes... no problem, just more time.
Sometimes the nut has become too worn for repair, and a brand new nut must be shaped and fitted.
Is your acoustic guitar saddle standing straight-up, snug and providing good intonation?
Complex bridges, like Floyd Rose® tremolo systems, add time and complexity to setups.
