Whether you have owned your guitar for a number of years or you just purchased one from Reverb, you will need it set up every so often. While most guitars come from the manufacturer with a factory guitar setup, most of the time this does not meet the needs or expectations of the player.

How do you know when your guitar needs a new setup?

• The action will either be too high (making it difficult to play) or too low (lots of annoying buzzing)
• The intonation is off, resulting in the guitar sounding out of tune at certain notes or chords
• You’ve changed string gauges
• The neck tension changes
• The weather changes
