We believe there is no "one size fits all" guitar set up.

Just as you are an individual, so is your playing style and so will be your set up preference. After completing this one-day class, you will walk away with the confidence and knowledge needed to set up and service your guitars from the comfort of your own home, saving you both time and money.

- All experience levels are welcome, no matter if you are Shreddie Mercury, or if you've just picked up the guitar for the first time, you will be guided through the entire process step by step by experienced repairers Michael Harron, and Michael Standen.

- All electric guitar and bass’ welcome. Got a Floyd Rose you're struggling to re- string? An Evertune you can't seem to figure out? Or maybe something unique? Bring it along, we'd love to see it!

After working with artists such as Parkway Drive, The Living End, Aria Award Winners Northlane and Angus and Julia Stone, as well as thousands of guitar players across the country, we have developed an immense understanding of all playing styles and guitar types to facilitate all of your set up requirements.
