Re-string  &  Setups

Pricing  &  Information



RE-STRING

Replace those old dead sounding strings with new ones. New strings will sound and intonate better. They will also reduce tension on the neck, bridge, and body (which is especially important on acoustic guitars). Includes removal of old strings, oil fingerboard, install and stretch new strings, tune and polish guitar.
String price varies. Brands include D'Addario, Elixir, Ernie Ball, Martin, Aquila and more.

6  String  Electric  &  Acoustic
$25 + Cost of Strings

Floyd  Rose  Style  Tremolo

Tip: For best sound and performance change your strings every 3-6 months for electric and acoustic guitars, and annually for basses.

A setup includes the following as necessary: String replacement (strings extra) Truss rod, bridge, and nut slot adjustment. Balance tremolo. Set action and intonation.

Tip: Because guitars are made of wood and metal under tension from the strings, they are affected by weather changes and time. Even most new guitars can benefit from a setup. Guitar factories adjust guitars to their specifications, which may or may not suit your particular style. Action is sometimes set high to avoid buzzing frets. Most players prefer a low action for ease of playing. Guitar adjustments may also "drift" between the time they leave the factory and end up in your hands. We recommend having your instrument set up and maintained at least on an annual basis.
