There are plenty of places that advertise set ups but all that they really do is adjust the bridge and maybe the truss rod. A lot of those customers end up coming to me after all.
For me, the very first part of a set up is talking to the player, I need to find out what they want to change, what they want to keep, their approach to playing, string gauge and tuning. A set up is a personal thing.
Each guitar requires a different approach, this is just a typical example.
So what do you get for your money?
