To ensure your instrument is set up with the strings you want, please include your choice of strings with your guitar upon drop-off. If you're not sure what gauge or brand of string to purchase, ask us and we will give you recommendations. If we notice problems with your instrument during your setup, further work may be recommended while your guitar is with us. (example: it wasn't just that the output jack was disconnected, there is a broken volume pot // the truss rod is not responding to adjustment and needs to be replaced // your bolt-on neck needs to be reset in the neck pocket to attain the appropriate setup measurements // fret work is required to solve problems etc). If any issues come up with your guitar that were not observed/communicated during the drop-off appointment, you will be contacted for notification/recommendation/pricing so you can choose to give consent to correct the problem(s). We will not perform ANY chargeable work without your permission. You always know what you are paying for. NO charges will be applied outside the setup fee without your permission.

So you need more than a setup? Tell us what the problem is with your instrument via messaging through facebook or by e-mailing (( [email protected] )) and we will provide you a general quote based on the estimated hours the job will take and then arrange a drop-off appointment.

Is your guitar harder to play than the ones at the store? Are your strings too far from the frets? Do your strings buzz? Does your guitar sound more out of tune the higher you play up the neck? Do you want different electronics or bridges or tuning heads and don't know where to start? Do you have switches that don't switch, k***s that scratch and pop, or you're getting no sound from your guitar at all?? Does your guitar STINK and is STICKY!?

I can fix it!

The Big M**f is one of most resilient, influential pedals to take over basements, garages, piss-stinky clubs and stadiums all over the world. These pedals are all also WAY too big

To save space on your board and get the most of out the Big M**f world, the JHS M**fuletta holds SIX different versions of Big M**f circuitry in one politely-sized pedal. Don't let the size fool you, this thing sounds HUGE.

Did you know that Grimy frets (on left) take away from your tone?

Included in the $40 standard setup and care package, your frets will be freed of accumulated gunk goo and junk (on left) with a fret polish (on right) which results in a consistent and reliable tone that feels brand new.

This Jaguar came my way for a setup and to replace the stock tailpiece with a Mastery brand tailpiece. It also has a Mastery bridge and I must say, they are some great parts that are very much worth the investment!
