A word about setups

Setup work is the backbone of musical instrument repair shops and probably the first way you will be introduced to our services. Guitars, mandolins, and yes, even banjos must have adjustments from time to time to retain their best playability. We have developed a system for setting up instruments that we believe is unsurpassed. We offer the most comprehensive setups in the business, and include procedures which other shops overlook.
