Description

The Custom Pro Setup

Tired of fighting your guitar? Want to achieve the maximum potential from your instrument?

Our customized professional setup produces amazing improvements in tone and playability. Through meticulous detailing at every adjustment point, we customize the action setup to your individual playing style, making your guitar play smoother and sound better than you've ever experienced.

Guitar setups from the factory are rushed and not completely detailed. Instruments also shift over time, especially when new. Our Custom Pro Setup includes fine adjustments to the entire instrument, fret leveling and polishing, and fabrication of new parts like nuts and saddles for intonation corrections and tone enhancement. We set the neck relief, dress your frets perfectly, give it complete maintenance and conditioning, and so much more. Be sure to check the Additional Info tab above.

Objectives:

  • Perfect Fret Leveling & Profiling: leveled, beveled & polished frets for better action, intonation, note articulation, less fret noise, smoother feeling neck edges.
  • Intonation Correction & Adjustments: may include fabrication of a new bone saddle and nut, customized and cut for intonation enhancements specific to your instrument and hands. We even include saddle slot re-routing if necessary for better intonation placement at the bridge.
  • Perfect Action Setup for Your Playing Style: proper neck relief, action height, nut slot depths & spacing, and intonation sweetening for your individual playing style and preferences.
  • Full Servicing & Buffing: fretboard conditioning, buffing, cleaning, gear adjustments, oiling & minor touch-ups. Your guitar will come back looking as beautiful as it plays.

Check the Info tabs above for more details.

NOTE: This initial deposit will be applied to your final repair bill after materials and shipping are calculated. We require this deposit to send you our prepaid shipping label and start the process.

Here’s something I didn’t mention. That @collingsguitars D1 in the last post has a K&K bridge plate #transducer #pickup. This made the bridge reglue a little more involved than normal. I had to make a #custom clamping caul for inside to avoid the pickup heads and to get proper clamping #pressure. #loothin
