Very few guitars have frets level with each other, regardless of the name on the head stock or how much you paid for it.
A Big John’s Guitar set up includes the following:
- Fret board contouring as far as existing fret height will allow
- Includes nut slots filed for best playability and tuning.
Remember it’s your time and effort put into perfecting your art. You’re worth it!
Setups start at $100. The customer should be supplying their preferred strings.
Here are the different setup options with different costs:
- Plain setup Fender-style bridge, no fret work (set intonation, adjust truss rod, pickup height): $80
- Tune O Matic bridge guitars with saddle radius (this makes a noticeable difference) to match fretboard: $120
- Floyd style guitars, depending how off nut is and extra work: $140
- unfortunately very few guitars frets are level enough for this
A fret level crown and dress is available for an additional charge. Please email me to discuss the additional charges:
- Narrow frets (see my Facebook video for a demonstration)
- Wide jumbo frets
- Wide jumbo frets and double locking tremolo, includes locking nut height adjustment (see this Facebook video for more info)
All prices may be subject to additional cost depending on the shape of guitar. In other words, if I discover critical issues that should be addressed, the base charge may not cover the cost.
