Service 1 · Setups and restrings
Guitar setup & restringing.
A setup tunes how your guitar plays. A fresh set of strings gives it back its voice. Both are done in the shop by people who play the gear they sell.
Guitar Setup & Restringing
Make it play the way you want
A setup adjusts the action, the feel and the intonation of a guitar to suit the way you play it. It is the best first step for a new guitar, for strings that buzz or feel hard to press, and for the change of season.
Restringing is the quickest upgrade there is. We fit the set you like, tune it, stretch it in and settle it so it holds pitch.

Questions people ask
How often should I get a setup?
A good habit is once a year, or when the seasons change and the guitar starts to buzz or feel stiff.
Do I need to bring my own strings?
No. Bring a set you like, or pick one from the accessories wall in the shop.
Do you work on guitars bought somewhere else?
Yes. Any guitar is welcome, whether it was bought here, online or handed down.
