Guitar repairs by Rob Mitchell at his Dundee workshop
Set – Up Adjusting the guitar to the requirements of the player. In most cases this simply involves lowering the distance of the strings from the fretboard ( the ‘action’ ) and adjusting the intonation. Additional work may be required, such as adjusting the truss rod, reshaping the nut and bridge saddle and dressing the frets. from £35
Refret Frets can become worn out over a period of time causing rattles andother problems. Frets can be replaced with a fretwire of your choice. Alternatively, if the wear is less severe, the frets can be levelled and re-profiled. ( click on image )
