Pro Set-Up

Students of the guitar and accomplished players alike generally agree a Pro Set-Up compliments the learning process, whilst improving the overall feel and playability of your instrument.

My goal is to set- up your instrument as you would like it to play without personal bias or preference, for example fast ' on the frets ' actions and light strings for guitars do not necessarily improve tonal quality or note clarity and represent only a narrow band in the spectrum of style and choice of set - up for stringed instruments , this service is available for all stringed instruments from mandolins to 8 string basses acoustic or solid.

My version of this process is as follows and is all inclusive under the term Pro Set-Up (Not to be confused with the term Factory Set-Up)

  1. Fret level and set check.  Fret dress profile and polish as required.

  2. Top nut string heights set.

  3. Truss rod set for chosen string gauge.

  4. Overall action and intonation set.

  5. Electrics check pots and switches cleaned.  (Please note: all necessary wiring work and replacement parts will be charged separately and are not included in the pro set up charge )

  6. Tuning heads check, loose buttons, string hold etc.

  7. Strap button check.

  8. Screws and shim angle check. (Bolt on necks)

  9. Pick-up heights set. (Magnet grab etc)

  10. Re-string to customers requirement.

  11. General clean.

Quotes are free, consultations by appointment only.  Most work is guaranteed with a swift turnaround for busy musicians.

My all inclusive version of a Pro Set-Up includes a Fret level check, Fret set check, Fret dress profile and polish as required, ensuring a quality end result, avoiding complicated pricing structures and representing excellent value for money.

Bulk and trade enquiries welcome, I guarantee to beat any written quotation.
