Think of a guitar set up as you would a tune up for your car. A good set up is the nuts and bolts of your music making experience and is essential to making your guitar sing without buzzing or wearing out your fingers. Factors such as neck bow, saddle or bridge height and string height at the nut all impact how your guitar plays and sounds. Each setup is customized for you, the individual. What works well for one person may not work for the next. By taking the time to understand your playing style, experience level, technique and musical aesthetic-even what gauge of string you play-we can customize your setup specific to you for maximum performance from your guitar.
