A guitar set up usually involves the following inspection and works:
Removal of the strings and replacing them if necessary
The nut is cleaned, this allows strings to sit perfectly in their corresponding grooves.
The neck is adjusted by tightening or loosening the truss rod.
Pinpointing the height of the pickups.
A fine-tuning of the height of the bridge may also be required.
Set up of the intonation by shortening or lengthening the scale length of each string.
Having a guitar set up professionally is important for the following reasons.
Guitars are Tricky Instruments
They are made from wood which can be a temperamental material that is vulnerable to temperature and humidity. This can affect their shape, changing the way they perform as they expand and contract when exposed to different climates.
Having a professional guitar set up is therefore crucial to ensuring that your instrument not only continues to perform optimally but so that stays durable. Professional guitar setup and regular maintenance will help avoid these issues.
Getting the Right Advice
It’s important when setting up or maintaining any instrument that you get the professional advice you need to keep the instrument in top condition. I can also advise you on the proper storage and care that your individual guitar requires.
Reliability
If you are playing gigs, the last thing you want is technical issues with your guitar mid-performance. By getting your guitar set up by a professional you can increase the reliability of your instrument and avoid getting caught out.
Easier to Play
Once your guitar is set up professionally you will find that it works to the best of its ability allowing you to concentrate on knocking them dead with your mean solos. By lowering the action, we can ensure that the guitar can be easily and comfortably played.
Feel and Play Better
Ask any pro guitarist about the difference between a professionally set up guitar and one that isn’t. All of them will tell you that the former is crucial for performing at the best level possible.
There are component alterations and a certain level of knowledge you can’t take advantage of when trying to set up a guitar by yourself or someone not knowing what they are doing.
