Guitar Setup
More often than not, a new Guitar or Bass will only have had a basic setup, if at all. When not setup properly a guitar can be difficult to tune & play and have a negative affect on the tone it could potentially produce. Humidity, temperature, wear and string gauge changes can also require the need for further maintenance.
We can set up, repair or modify your Guitar or Bass to your playing style or feel.
Re-Strings, Action, Intonation, Fretwork, Bone Nuts, Electrics & Repairs for individuals, Schools, Music Centres.

Customer Feedback.
“Just had a session on the Emperor II and extremely pleased with the action, as well the guitar seems more ‘alive’ and notes seem sharper and clearer. Many thanks for the work you performed on it.”
“After your set up on my bass, it’s like I have a brand new instrument. Thanks again for your great work.”
