Your guitar, set up the way it was meant to play.

Hand-done setups, fret work and deep cleans for players who notice every buzz, every dead spot and every note that drifts sharp up the neck.

Setups from RM85

Why a proper setup matters

Wood moves with weather, strings stretch and screws loosen. A guitar that was perfect in January can fight you by June. A good setup brings it back.

Accurate tuning everywhere

Intonation calibration keeps chords in tune from the first fret to the twelfth and beyond.

Easier to play

The right neck relief and string height mean less finger pain, cleaner bends and no fret buzz.

Longer instrument life

Regular cleaning and inspection protect hardware, frets and finish from sweat, dust and wear.

How we work on your guitar

Here is exactly what goes into a Professional Setup, from the first inspection to the final play test. Every stage is done with care and checked before your guitar goes back to you.

  1. Comprehensive Inspection

    An expert technician conducts a thorough evaluation of the guitar’s overall structural integrity, neck alignment, electronics, and hardware condition before any work begins.

  2. Complete Hardware Detailing & Mirror Polish

    Every single piece of hardware is meticulously removed, deep-cleaned, and polished to a flawless mirror shine, down to every individual screw. The entire guitar body and fretboard are then professionally detailed and conditioned.

  3. Precision Fret Prep & Truss Rod Calibration

    Every fret is individually wrapped and taped off for safety, then crowned and polished to a mirror shine for ultimate smoothness and effortless bending. The truss rod is then expertly adjusted to achieve a dialed-in, perfect relief.

  4. Professional Intonation & Action Setup

    Precision string height adjustment and accurate intonation calibration across all strings, ensuring the guitar plays in tune up and down the neck and is instantly ready for any stage or studio performance.

  5. Pickup Height Adjustment & Electronics Inspection

    Pickup height is adjusted for a balanced, clear output across every string, and the guitar’s electronics are inspected, including the pickups, pots, switches and output jack, so every control works as it should.

  6. Rigorous Play Testing & Quality Control

    Extensive stress-testing and play-testing across the entire fretboard to check for any potential buzz or dead spots, ensuring absolute perfection before it ever reaches the customer’s hands.

All six stages are included in the Professional Setup, RM300.
