NOTE:
All tuning and intonation are set using a Peterson Strobo Plus-HD (digital strobe tuner) with

an accuracy of .1 cent (1/1000 of a semitone).

Each job will be individually assessed prior to commencing work. All services will be provided at an agreed price. Above prices are a guide only.
If there are any changes to job cost as a result of unforeseen conditions or circumstances, you will be notified before continuing and new charges agreed upon.

Other work not specified above will be charged at $30 per hour and jobs of this nature will typically incur a minimum charge of 1 hour. 

 

STRINGS:
There are just too many different brands & gauges of strings for me to feasibly stock them all.

Therefore I only stock D'Addario EXL-110 (.010 - .046) for electric guitars and D’Addario EJ-16

(.012 - .053) for acoustic.

If you have a preferred gauge and brand other than the ones listed, please provide them when you drop off your instrument. Otherwise I will fit the D'Addario’s at a cost of $10.00 per set (electric) and $12.00 per set (acoustic).
