All the instruments that we supply undergo stringent bench checks and undergo our Premier Workshop Set-up before they are put on sale or dispatched to our customers.

Our in-house workshop facility and set-up service to you is second to none. Our workshop staff have many combined years of experience in playing and setting up the instruments that we supply.

Our Premier Workshop Setup includes checks and adjustments by our specialist workshop technicians for:-

Cosmetic detail Neck relief Fret profiles
Playing action at the nut Playing action at the 12th fret Bridge position
Intonation Tailpiece angle Tuning and playability

We have added a few pictures to our gallery of specific set-up stages that are a must for getting the best out of your instrument in both playability, tone and volume.
