LET'S GET YOU DIALED IN!

 

You can help us help you by taking a look at our ‘Playability Checklist’ below and noting your preferences. You can leave us some general notes when booking online or bring them with you. The more we know about you and your instrument, the more we can help you maximize your playing experience!

The playability checklist

 

Issues:  Buzz?  Fret wear?  Action? Nut/Saddle height? Neck/truss rod adjustments?  Noisy electronics? Loose hardware? Doesn’t stay in tune?  Intonation?

 

Do you change tunings often? 

 

Do you want to change string gauges? 

 

How would you describe your technique and/or style? 

 

Do you use fingers, pick, or both?

 

From 1 to 5 (5 being the hardest), what’s the hardest you play with your picking hand?

 

How much string bending do you do: Always, some, or none?

 

How do you use your tremolo: heavy use, light touch, none.

 

Special qualities  you want to achieve with a setup?

We look forward to seeing you soon!
