Full-Service Guitar Setup and Repair

Comprehensive Assessment
We begin with a detailed inspection of your guitar’s condition. Our experienced technicians assess the neck, body, frets, electronics, and hardware to identify any existing or potential issues. This essential step ensures all guitar repairs and adjustments are precisely targeted to improve your instrument’s overall performance.

Truss Rod Adjustment for Neck Relief
Neck relief plays a crucial role in achieving smooth playability. We’ll measure and adjust the truss rod to achieve the correct curvature—eliminating fret buzz and enhancing string response. Our adjustments align with your playing style and preferred setup.

String Action and Height Optimisation
Comfort and speed come from perfect string action. We meticulously measure the string height at critical points (usually the 1st and 12th frets) and make refined adjustments to the nut and saddle. Whether you want low action for fast playing or a higher setup for heavier picking, we tailor it to suit you.

Precision Intonation Setup
Playing in tune across the fretboard is essential. We compare open string pitches with 12th-fret notes and make accurate adjustments to each saddle to ensure your guitar’s intonation is spot-on—across every string and every fret.

Enhanced Tuning Stability
Say goodbye to tuning frustrations. We apply specialist lubricants (like graphite or nut lube) to the nut slots to reduce friction and improve tuning retention—especially important during bends, vibrato, or intense playing sessions.

Fretboard & Fret Maintenance

Deep Fretboard Cleaning & Conditioning
We remove accumulated dirt, grime, and sweat that can degrade your fretboard over time. After cleaning, we apply a premium fretboard conditioner or lemon oil to hydrate the wood and protect it from drying or cracking.

Fret Polishing for Smooth Playability
Dull or oxidised frets can slow down your playing and reduce clarity. We restore the shine and smoothness using specialised fret polishing tools to ensure your fingers glide effortlessly and your tone remains crisp and consistent.

Guitar Repairs and Hardware Care

Pickup Height Adjustment
We optimise your pickup heights to balance output level and tonal response. Whether you’re after more punch, warmth, or clarity, we tailor the setup to your desired sound.

Hardware Tightening and Inspection
Loose components can cause unwanted rattles or tuning problems. We check and tighten all hardware—tuning machines, bridge screws, strap buttons, and output jacks—so your guitar stays secure and road-ready.

Electronics Check & Cleaning
Crackling pots or failing switches? We inspect every electronic component—volume/tone controls, selector switches, output jacks—and clean or repair as needed to keep your signal clean and reliable.

String Replacement and Stretching
We install fresh strings of your preferred gauge and type, then stretch and retune them several times to lock in tuning stability. Your guitar will not only sound better—it’ll stay in tune longer too.

Final Setup & Play Test

Once all adjustments and guitar repairs are complete, we perform a full play test. Our technicians check playability, tone, and feel—making final tweaks so your instrument sounds and plays exactly how you like it.
