How We Can Help

  •  We work on all stringed instruments - acoustic and electric.
  • Set up new instrument – just because it’s new doesn’t mean it’s ready to play.  Set up is based on an individual’s playing style.  Action on new fretted instruments is generally high which equals difficulty in playing.  Makes sure the instrument is set up to play properly – intonation, fret buzz, tuning, etc…
