We can do almost anything you need for your electric guitar or bass.

Setups are $60, flat rate for electric guitars. This will get your action how you want it, eliminate buzzing,
and make the guitar play in tune up and down the neck. 
(no additional charge for 5 or 6 string bass, Floyd Rose, Kahler, or other Floating Bridges)
(some fees for 12 strings apply)

Our complete setup includes:
Restringing with strings you provide (we can suggest a set)
Cleaning/polishing frets/fingerboard, oiling unfinished fingerboards (such as rosewood)
Adjustment of the truss rod for proper neck relief,
Adjusting/leveling the bridge, saddles,
Slotting the nut to set string height and eliminate binding/improve tuning,
Accurate setting of intonation (to make it play in tune all over the neck)
Adjust pickups, tighten and clean hardware, etc...
We also give the entire instrument a good cleaning and polishing.

A good setup usually means the difference between a guitar that
plays well and one that doesn't. Even inexpensive guitars can be
setup to play right.

Guitar Setup

Peterson Strobe Tuners are used to ensure the best possible intonation.
