Learn what your guitar is capable of, how to assess problems, and gain skills to knowledgeably repair and maintain your own guitars.
About this Event

Our Setup Workshop will equip you with a greater understanding of what your guitar is capable of, how to assess problems, and can help you make wiser guitar buying decisions. This class will also help you gain skills so you are not left hanging when your guitar goes down at a gig.

Here’s what is covered in the 5-hour class:

• How to assess and diagnose the playability of your guitar

• How a truss rod works and how to adjust it properly

• What a radius is and how it applies to your instrument

• How to set your intonation

• What tools are used during a set up and how to use them

• And much, much more!

Each student will have their own fully equipped bench to work on – all tools are provided during the class. Our owner Geoff Luttrell teaches each class. Classes are limited to 4 people, so each student gets plenty of hands-on experience, and as much individual attention as possible. NOTE: 12-string guitars and Floyd Rose (and other locking tremolo bridge systems) cannot be used in this class.

FEE: $295

What our students are saying...

“Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed and learned from the Guitar Setup Workshop. I think learning that side of the instrument is a MUST for any guitarist, no matter what their playing level.” -Chris M.

“This class is GREAT! I went in with a Strat I was thinking of selling, but by the end of the class, I loved the guitar and couldn't believe all the knowledge I had gained. I have the confidence now to assess and tweak my other guitars, too. Highly recommend this to anyone interested in learning more about the inner workings of their instruments.” - Ankur G.
