Got recommended here by a friend since I don’t trust my local shop with my new guitar. What’s the turnaround time and cost on a set-up for a relatively new j-45?
Andy,
Set ups usually run 48-72 hours
I have a Gibson ES 175 that fell on the jack input many years ago.
Since that time a crack on either side of the jack as grown to almost a half inch on either side of the input. This guitar could use a set up as well. Can you give me a ball park figure for the cost of this repair. Also interested in the set up an an acoustic Epiphone Hummingbird.
The ES175 side crack at the jack is an old favorite! The cost depends on the crack. I would say, sight unseen, look to spend $150-300 on the crack. Set ups on guitars usually run $55-65, and if they need a fret level/recrown and polish, add another $50.
Hi Chris, First, thanks for the great work on past guitars! I have a Martin OMC Aura with a loose peg-jack-input on its end. How much would it cost to tighten it?
Stan,
thanks for the good word. I wouldn’t charge you a dime and I can do it for you while you wait, as long as it is at our main Racine location.
