The Basics, Done Right
FRESH STRINGS, LUTHIER HANDS.
A restring here is not a counter job. Strings stretched in, wraps clean, tuning stable, and a once-over from the bench while it is here.
Why Bother
WHAT A PROPER RESTRING GETS YOU
Anyone can put strings on a guitar. Putting them on so they stay in tune from the first song is the difference between a store counter and a luthier bench.
Every restring here gets correct wrap counts, locked winds where the hardware calls for it, a full stretch-in, and a look over the neck, frets, and hardware while the strings are off. If something bigger is coming, you hear about it before it becomes a repair.
Double-locking systems are a specialty of this shop. Floyd Rose string changes, drop-tuning moves, and gauge swaps that need a full rebalance are everyday work here.
Every Time
INCLUDED WITH EVERY RESTRING
Correct Wraps & Locked Winds
Clean winds that hold pitch instead of slipping under bends.
Full Stretch-In
Strings pre-stretched so you are not retuning every five minutes for a week.
Fretboard Wipe-Down
Quick clean while the board is bare.
Bench Health Check
Neck relief, fret wear, and hardware glance from a trained eye.
Floyd Rose & Locking Trems
Gauge changes rebalanced, fine tuners centered, locks torqued right.
12-String & Bass
Yes and yes.
Step Up
WHEN A RESTRING IS NOT ENOUGH
If any of these sound familiar, book a setup instead. Same visit, whole different guitar.
Buzzing that fresh strings never fix
Action high enough to tire your hand
Chords going sour up the neck
New gauge or tuning that feels wrong
