If your strings are getting old and your guitar needs new ones don't just change them, get a setup! After you get a setup your instrument will be easier to play and sound better.
If you need your strings changed, fretboard cleaned, frets dressed, complete setups, repairs and replacement of electronics or replacement of other parts on your acoustic, bass or electric guitar then bring it to me.
However I am not a Luthier and don’t do woodwork, painting or fret replacements.
