Prices:
All work is flat rate, and I never charge by the hour; ensuring no matter the time needed, the outcome of your setup will never be compromised. As always, in person I will look over your instrument and let you know what I think should be done and we can go from there. Turn around time depends on how busy I am, usually one night per guitar.
Please read this entire page, including fine print before contacting me.

Full Setup: $150
This includes everything from fret leveling and fret crowning, to truss rod, action, pickup height, intonation, nut-slot height adjustments, fretboard cleaning, and more. If extra work is needed I will contact you before making any decisions.
*This doesn't include a brass or bone nut*
*You'll need to include a fresh, unused string set (of your choice) while dropping your guitar off.

*It is essential you change strings during a full setup*
