Re-String (not including strings)
6 String - $35.00 | 12 String - $50.00 | Bass - $40.00 | Classical - $40.00 | Locking Tremolo - add $15.00
For those needing their guitars or bass restrung, we are happy to provide that service. For each re-string, we will remove your old strings and discard them, give your guitar a quick cleaning and then get it re-strung with the strings of your choice. We'll tune it up and give a final check before letting you know that it is ready for pick up.
Full Set-up (not including strings)
For a full set-up, we check your necks existing bow, then take the strings off, clean and oil the fretboard, buff the frets, tighten the tuners, lube all of the hardware, clean all electronics (if applicable), set the neck relief, sting action, shape/smoothed nut slots and set intonation. Finally, we tune and test the instrument.
6 String - $100 | 12 String - $150 | Bass $100.00 | Classical $100.00 | Locking Tremolo - add $20.00
Fret Dressing (not including set-up)
Worn out or damaged frets can cause a whole host of issues ranging from bad tuning, fret buzz, bad intonation or just plain un-playability. Sometimes the remedy is to fix just a few frets, other times the entire neck needs to be done. Either way, our trained technicians can get this job done for you quickly and with a high level of precision.

Partial/Min Dressing (Levelling) - $15/fret + set-up fee
