Why a Setup Matters

A quality setup can instantly elevate your playing experience. It improves string tension, action height and fret balance, which means fewer sore fingers, better tuning stability, and a sweeter, clearer tone. Even brand-new instruments benefit from a professional setup — and seasoned guitars often reveal hidden potential with a refresh.

How It Works

Bring your instrument into our South Melbourne workshop, or ship it to us if you’re interstate. We’ll diagnose the needs of your guitar and discuss any recommended work before we begin.

Once approved, we complete the service with attention to detail at every step. After servicing, you’ll notice improved action, stable tuning, and a guitar that feels right under your hands.
