Guitar & Bass Setup Service

Get Your Instrument Playing Its Best

A proper setup is the foundation of how your instrument feels, sounds, and performs.

At British Audio, we provide professional guitar and bass setup service to improve playability, eliminate buzzing, and ensure your instrument is dialed in to your playing style.

Whether you’re dealing with high action, tuning instability, or inconsistent feel, a setup can make a dramatic difference.

What Is a Setup?

A setup is a comprehensive adjustment of your instrument to optimize playability and performance.

This includes adjusting the neck, action, and intonation so your instrument plays comfortably and accurately across the entire fretboard.

What’s Included

Our standard setup includes:

  • Truss rod adjustment

  • Action adjustment (string height)

  • Intonation adjustment

  • Pickup height adjustment (electric instruments)

  • Hardware check and tightening

  • Basic cleaning and inspection

  • Final tuning and play test

Each instrument is adjusted to play cleanly and consistently across the neck.

Pricing
