Dr. T’s Professional Inspection and Setup.
You may find a similar instrument listed at a lower price, but ours may still be the better value as we include our professional inspection and setup. With over 20 years in the industry, we’re convinced that a good setup is the single most important investment that can be made to improve the playability and sound of a guitar. We remove the strings, clean the guitar, tighten the tuners and set the drag on the tuning keys. Next, we find any high frets, and level, crown and polish them. We take care of any fret sprout then clean and oil the fingerboard. We restring, and set the neck relief, action and intonation. We then play each fret and fine tune as required. Next, we test the electronics and balance the pickups. Lastly, we play the guitar to make sure everything is just right.
