FAQ
Common questions about guitar setup and how it works.
Deep clean of the body, neck and fingerboard. Electrics cleaned and serviced. Truss rod adjusted. Action, nut and intonation set. Pickups voiced. Loose parts checked and tightened (machine heads, jack socket, strap buttons). Basically, everything that affects how your guitar plays.
A full setup is £65 plus strings. Re-stringing on its own (with a clean) is £20 plus strings. Strings are charged at cost, so whatever you’d pay in a shop.

Buzzing frets. Action that’s too high or too low. Tuning that won’t stay stable. Intonation that drifts the further up the neck you go. Notes that feel stiff or awkward to play. If any of that sounds familiar, it probably needs a setup. Or just drop me a message and describe what’s happening. I’ll tell you what I think.
