Just bring your guitar over!

For CHF 20,-- I will professionally assess your guitar. This includes measuring the string spacing at the 1st and 12th frets, as well as the neck relief. You will receive a written report from me, allowing you to compare your guitar's measurements with those of a perfectly set-up guitar. I will also check the pickup height and test whether they produce the same volume when played. Furthermore, I will check if the intonation (octave unity) is correctly adjusted. It's not uncommon for the fret ends to have sharp edges that need to be filed down to ensure a truly enjoyable playing experience. Any loose screws will be tightened.

 

I'll give you my recommendation regarding the necessary service work. You'll also receive a non-binding cost estimate from me. You can find the transparent tiered pricing below on my website. Then we can discuss which measures you decide on and whether you'd like to commission the repair. I believe in fair pricing, which is why I opted for tiered pricing.

 

Whether you're a casual player or a rock star, I treat your instrument with the same respect and attention to detail. My goal is for you to be thrilled with the quality of my work.
