Electric/Acoustic Guitar Setup Myrtle Beach

What is involved in an electric/acoustic guitar setup?

An acoustic guitar setup is a series of adjustments to improve its playability, sound, feel, general health and ease of play.

What’s involved in an acoustic guitar setup? 

• Tuning: Tuning the guitar to the correct pitch and checking the tuning
• String height: Adjusting action height of the strings
• Truss rod: Adjusting the truss rod means adjusting the neck to get it set correctly for ease of play
• Nut: Lubricating the nut so the strings slide in their grooves
• Intonation: Shortening or lengthening the scale length of each string for perfect pitch
• Pickup height: Correcting or adjusting the height of the pickups for best sound quality
• Bridge: Setting the height of the bridge for best action and ease of play

Why do I need an acoustic guitar setup?

• New guitars often need a setup because they’re mass-produced and not ready for playing. 
• Guitars change over time and need a setup to return to better playing condition 
• Regular setups can help you find potential issues early, saving you from expensive repairs later
