Answer

A:  For most instruments, a setup costs $60, and includes adjustment
of the neck, saddle, and nut. We will adjust and lubricate geared
tuners and inspect all hardware of the guitar. On electrics, we will
blow out the control cavity to ensure that it is dust free. If your guitar
uses a 9v battery, we will test the battery and replace it if necessary.
Finally, we will adjust the intonation of the guitar using a Peterson
Strobe Tuner, and clean the instrument and the interior of the case it
came in.

If you bring in your guitar before noon, we offer same-day service for
a nominal fee. After noon, we offer next-day service.

A setup does not include strings, although you can find many of the
most popular string sets from Elixer, D'addario, GHS, Ernie Ball, and
DR Strings in our storefront available for purchase.

Instruments that will require additional fees include guitars fitted with
Floyd Rose locking bridges, 12-string guitars, and 8-string basses.
