REPAIR & RESTORATION
APPOINTMENT: Required
To keep your instrument playing its best, it's important to have it setup up at least once a year.
What is a setup?
A setup is a thorough once-over of your instrument which includes new strings, clean & oil fretboard, and minor adjustments. Like other maintenance related service appointments, setups can also catch any developing issues like dryness that can lead to more expensive repairs down the road if not caught early.
