Hand Hurts When Playing High Frets: Solution

What to Expect During a Professional 8-Point Guitar Tune-Up. When a guitar is brand new or fresh from the factory it may not have had any adjustments done. As a rule, a guitar should be set up when first purchased (used or new) and again when switching string gauges. Consider getting a set up anytime the guitar sounds or feels different than it used to. Perhaps after a guitar travels (altitude changes, pressure changes, and humidity can affect the wood in the guitar) and just like changing oil in a car it is a good idea to get a set up every now and then for maintenance purposes (perhaps twice a year). A professional 8-point guitar tune-up maximizes your instrument’s play-ability, tone, and structural health. This comprehensive service addresses every critical intersection of the guitar to eliminate string buzz, fix tuning instability, and make the instrument feel effortless to play.
