Electric Guitar and Bass Setup
At my South London workshop I offer three types of electric guitar and bass setup and servicing;
Basic. I would recommend this type of electric guitar and bass setup for guitars that are reasonably clean, not heavily used, strings are less than 6 months old, and you just want the reassurance that the guitar is setup properly and playing as well as it can. Cost: £35.
Standard. I would recommend this type of service and setup for most guitars. Cost: £60-70 plus new set of strings
Deluxe. I would recommend this type of service and setup for guitars that are heavily used and need a really good clean. In addition to the Standard service, components are removed and cleaned and the body and neck is cleaned and polished. Cost: £80-100, depending on condition of guitar, plus new set of strings

If you are not sure what type of set up is best for your guitar I am very happy to look at it and give you some advice.
