SETUP

Pro Setup

Pro Setup includes bridge service, where the bridge is disassembled, sonic cleaned, de-oxidized and rebuilt with sweat, salt and alkaline resistant lubricant; nut slotting for perfect action and radius; acoustic saddle intonation; acoustic bridge pin hole slotting where required to lower action; stage 1 fret levelling and edge rolling; machine (tuner) clean and lube where possible; string-path de-burring. Fretboard timber is deep-cell cleaned with pure turpentine and oiled. Neck alignment/angle on bolt on necks. Setup and fretboard treatment guaranteed for 2 yrs pro gigging. Free tweaks for 24 months. New strings are required for the Pro Setup and you need to use the same gauge when changing strings. If you want to change string gauge at any time, bring it in and I will reset the truss FOC. - "The best setup I ever played". Joe Bonamassa, Nashville, April 2025.
