Cool Hand Custom Guitars
String instrument solutions
guitar and bass setups and repairs for the gigging Pro to the average Joe!
Unlock your instrument’s FULL POTENTIAL!!! Or breathe some new life into and old standby! Unless you just purchased a new $3000 plus guitar or are a guitar technician yourself, your instrument will benefit greatly from a proper “setup”.
When it comes to getting the most out of your guitar, the devil’s in the details… the vast majority of players either don’t take the time or don’t possess the knowledge to adjust their instrument properly. This leads to a myriad of issues. The performance and playability of your guitar depends upon 3-5 adjustments, made in proper sequence. If one adjustment is off it negatively affects the whole setup… often rendering the instrument useless or close to it. If your guitar exhibits any of the following issues, it needs a setup:
-Will not stay in tune
-strings too high or low
-buzzing anywhere on fingerboard
-not making sound/making strange sounds
-loose knobs or jacks
-poor intonation
-sticky tuners
-tremolo issues
