Restrings take up to 24 hours. Timeline on all other repairs vary. Most repairs have a 1-2 week turnaround, but sometimes this changes due to the need of special/particular parts, or a large volume of repairs in the shop. We can give you a better estimate at the time of evaluation.

| Does temperature and humidity really affect my instrument? |
Most definitely. Guitars are made from wood and environmental factors definitely create a difference. Very hot or very cold temperatures, or even drastic changes in temperature and humidity, will take a toll on your instrument. Resulting in the need for more frequent set ups. Set ups ensure that your guitar neck and body are not warping and what can be done to prolong the life and quality of your instrument.

| How often do I need a restring? A setup? |
Restrings are needed depending on how often you play and is also slightly preference. We recommend that if you play daily, that strings are changed every 4 weeks.
Guitar set-ups are recommended about twice per year, newer guitars should be check about 3 times in the first year. A guitar setup ensures that your electric, acoustic or bass is performing at peak condition, keeps little things from going out of whack and personalizes the instrument to your preferences.
During a set up, we do the following:
- - Removing the strings and possibly replacing them
- - Cleaning the nut so the strings sit perfectly in their corresponding grooves
- - Adjusting the neck by tightening or loosening the truss rod
- - Pinpointing the height of the pickups
- - Fine-tuning the height of the bridge
- - Setting the intonation by shortening or lengthening the scale length of each string
