SETUP AND MAINTENANCE
To play its very best, every stringed instrument needs to be setup correctly and will periodically require routine maintenance to remain in top condition. Clarity, sustain, intonation, and play-ability can all be improved with the proper setup, and routine maintenance can catch small issues before they become big problems. Each setup is specific to the instrument being worked on, but all stringed instruments have some commonalities. A setup begins with a complete inspection of the instrument inside and out to determine overall condition, after which a comprehensive report outlining any issues found, along with possible remedies, is generated for your information. A Fresh set of top end strings is included in the price of every setup, or BYO favorite brand and take $5 off. Below you'll find a pricing sheet for setups and other routine maintenance.
