Restring and Clean

Keep your guitar looking good and playing well by keeping it clean with fresh strings. Dirt, oils, and sweat will build up on a guitar over time. How often you change strings varies from player to player, but if you’re on this page, it’s probably about time! When you bring your guitar to us, we’ll remove your old strings, clean the entire guitar, hydrate, polish, tighten any loose parts, and allow some time for minor tweaks related to tuning or playability.

Full Set Up

A full setup is regular maintenance that's done on a guitar that customizes its playability to your preference. In short, we’ll make your guitar play the best that it can. We will evaluate and adjust string height and playability by ensuring that the nut, neck, and bridge angles align correctly. Once those are good, we’ll set the intonation so it sounds as good as it plays.
