Set-ups are important

A Set-Up is not the same in every store. A true Set-Up requires exacting measurements and extremely fine adjustments.

A professional set-up always starts with string choices and truss rod adjustment. It is followed in order by alignment of height, width, and proper ramping of the nut. String height is then customized for the individual, according to playing style, player experience and personal preference. Why a Set-Up? in order for a guitar to play and sound its best, the entire instrument needs to be in careful alignment. Time and seasonal changes affect the sound and playability of every fretted instrument. Even NEW instruments are improved by a professional set-up. Guitar House Workshop luthiers take extraordinary care to customize each set-up according to your personal experience, playing style and specific instrument.

Upgrading to Custom Bone Saddles and Nuts

will make your instrument easier to play, and improve its sound. Our luthiers individually craft these parts out of the finest quality bone and other natural materials. We create nuts and saddles best suited for your particular instrument and playing style.
