Repair times and prices are not guaranteed, as every guitar is different! An estimated cost of repairs will be given upon inspection. Any increase in cost will be gone over with customer prior to any additional work/pickup. Special orders of parts needed that are not in stock may cause a delay. Though our repair techs are scheduled to be in every day, they do sometimes get sick, take vacations and celebrate holidays. 90-day warranty offered with every repair, no stipulations! All action adjustments are set-up to be as low as they can be without buzzing at normal pressure and standard tuning. If you would like an action that is a little bit higher, play heavy, or would like your guitar setup for a non-standard tuning you need to let us know.
