Guitar and Bass Setup and Repair Services

Shop is officially open for setup and repair services!

Summary

I offer a wide range of services, from regular set ups to repairs such as neck re-radiusing and electronics work.
I evaluate the instrument for free and give a written report of recommended repairs and courses of action.
The customer can then choose from the report which jobs they would like performed.

This entails that I need to physically examine the instrument, so I cannot evaluate it via a text or picture.
Note also that some larger jobs may require several days.

To schedule an appointment, please e-mail me at gary@garydenyer.com or, if you are on Facebook, you can DM me! My Facebook Page is HERE! You can also use the Contact page.

Setups are either performed to the instrument manufacturers specifications or to the customers playing style and preferences.
More information from the customer is better in the latter case!

In general, setup involves the following:

Check neck relief
Adjust truss rod
Check string height
Adjust bridge saddles
Shim neck if required (bolt on necks only)

String change (if asked for)
