Why does your guitar need a setup, you ask?

The best way to describe it would be to say that your guitar is just like a person! Wood, like a human, responds to changes in temperature and humidity throughout the different seasons. Ever notice how stuffy and dry you feel during the winter months, especially when your heat is on? Or perhaps you live in a place where it's constantly hot and humid, and you can practically drink the air! Your guitar responds to these changes by shifting in different ways and directions; slowly, but surely. The neck can shift back or forth, the belly can start to rise or dip, and in extreme/untreated cases the wood can crack and separate - just to name a few. Now you're probably scared, and wondering what you can do to prevent your beloved axe from meeting an awful fate! Fret not, we're here to help. With every setup we do, we make sure to take care of your instrument as if it was our own. We remove as much dirt and corrosion as possible, polish the fret board and frets, adjust the neck/string height, lubricate the nut and saddles, adjust intonation, and go over all the electronics to make sure everything feels, plays and sounds factory fresh!
