Where can I get a guitar set up?

21st May 2010

I want to get a set up done on my guitar, but I’m not sure what places do that. I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion.

I live in the Los Angeles area if that matters and the cheaper the better.

cheaper is NOT better. You want it done right, by someone who does a good job.
A cheap fix will more likely than not make things worse instead of better.

Any specialty store selling guitars should be able to do it for you or point you towards good luthiers in the area.

But as you’re in California, http://www.gryphonstrings.com/ in Palo Alto may be worth a visit. Their name keeps popping up as some of the best in the country if not the world when it comes to guitar maintenance and repair.
