$50 for a complete setup on an acoustic, classical, flamenco, or acoustic bass
(extra fees apply to 12 strings)


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, saddle and nut to set the action how you like it.
Cleanup/slotting the nut to set string height and eliminate binding,
Tighten and clean hardware, etc...
We vacuum the inside out, then clean and polish the entire instrument.


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.



The saddle and nut are what transfer the vibration of the strings into the wood.
 Plastic is used on many guitars these days, and
swapping it out for a well fitted piece of bone can greatly improve
tone. Most players notice a boost in top end, clarity and overall
sustain. 



We make bone nuts and saddles to custom fit your acoustic guitar.
 We charge $50 for a nut, $30 for a saddle. (add $10 for compensated saddle)
Each nut is carefully hand crafted, cut and filed to spec
and cleaned up for an attractive appearance.
We also offer a package deal where we will make you a new nut
and saddle, and setup the guitar for $120. (that's a good deal)


We do complete fret work, as well. It's only $50 for a fret level &
dress. This will clean up those worn frets to make them look and
feel like they're new.

If the frets are worn down too far, then we can completely refret the neck.
*several fret sizes available. We'll pull those worn
frets out, level the fingerboard so its nice and straight, and install
whichever size frets you like.
 It will feel like a brand new neck when its done.
Refrets are about $250. The price varies a little depending
on the type of neck.



The neck pictured above is on a 1955 Martin.
Yes, we can make that old acoustic in your closet play right again!



We also install acoustic preamps. Piezo saddles, magnetic sound hole
pickups, EQ's, output jacks, etc... We also repair broken pickups.

We can drill out your strap button for an output jack if you're using a
temporary style soundhole pickup. This way your cable isn't hanging
out of the front of your guitar.

minor crack repair, fix broken bracing inside the guitar,
If your bridge popped off, we can reattach it for you.
