The Precision Electric Guitar Setup Class (in-person)

This is our rock-solid Guitar Setup Class that has set the benchmark for all our classes. Exclusively offered 1-2 times per year w/ optional add-on class Guitar Maintenance & Electronic Repair (on select dates/locations only). Be part of this exclusive workshop & learn the secret of a great playing guitar! Similar to a car needing a tune-up, a series of adjustments can be made for it to perform at its optimum.
