A proper setup is required on any instrument made of wood and metal, whether it’s a new instrument or your old favorite that needs to be reset after seasonal changes and lots of play.
After years of obsessing over the perfect setup on both my own guitars as well as students and friends over the years, I decided to offer this service officially. Time and time again, I would see “guitar techs” return guitars with unpolished frets, unfinished fret crown jobs or just do almost nothing and take money from musicians. Or the one “good tech” take weeks to months to accomplish a two day service, simply because there was no one else in town. The Houston area music scene deserves well playing instruments for the growing scene with a decent turnaround to get back into playing.
-General Setup (Neck Relief, Action, Intonation, Restring, Instrument Clean/Polish, Any and all Hardware Maintenance- Proper tightening of all screws, nuts, etc., cleaning pots/switches/jacks.) Fret Polish, Fretboard Conditioning(non-maple necks only)
This includes a new set of strings (preferred gauge/brand) included in service. Each instrument is setup with “as arrives” measurements (previously setup, player preference) or can be set to “factory spec” settings (i.e. good for new instruments or change of playing styles).
A great tool means more creativity, less finicking and lets the musician spend more time playing! I take care of your instrument as if it was my own and want it to play at its best for you to express your own musical goals and dreams!
