Guitar Set-up Costs

Every guitar can benefit from some TLC especially if it hasn’t been serviced for a while. The change in playability can be quite dramatic and make your guitar a pleasure to play.

All prices listed are for acoustic and electric guitars and basses.

Please contact Roger for prices for 12-string guitars and electrics with Floyd Rose type tremolo systems.

Complete String Change And Check-over

£10.00 plus strings of your choice.
It is recommended that strings should be changed every 3-6 months.

Standard Set-up

£35.00 plus strings of your choice
Includes neck adjustment, fingerboard cleaned and lemon-oiled, frets polished.
Guitar restrung, string height (action) lowered for maximum comfort and playability, Intonation set, to make sure guitar is in tune all the way up the fingerboard. Machine heads checked and tightened if necessary. Electrics checked and controls and socket tightened if necessary. Guitar cleaned and polished.

Set-up And Fret Dress

£49.00 plus strings of your choice
Same as standard set-up but where the frets are worn or uneven, these are dressed and reprofiled to compensate for the wear. Can also be useful on any guitar to get the maximum low action.
