Do You Have High Action Or Fret Buzz?
Many Guitar Owners Aren't Sure What To Do...
To achieve the very best sound and playability, your guitar needs to be professionally setup.
Manufacturers recommend a professional setup at least once per year. If you play a lot, every 6 months.
A well setup guitar improves your technique because it's more precise and easier to play.
Regular guitar setups are essential to achieve the lowest action and the least amount of buzz, ensuring that your playing experience is both comfortable and enjoyable.
Whether you're just starting out, or are a seasoned professional, taking proper care of your guitar is a good way to make sure you continue to enjoy playing over many years.
Many guitar owners don't know this but even a brand new guitar needs a setup! Guitars usually ship from the factory with a higher string action than spec and here's why:
In the typical distribution process, guitars are dispatched from the manufacturer to the retail music store where customers make their purchases. Throughout this transportation period, the instruments undergo fluctuations in climate and humidity. These variations in environmental conditions can result in shifts in the initial adjustments made to the instrument at the factory, thereby deviating from the original factory specifications.
Guitars, being predominantly composed of wood, exhibit hygroscopic properties, signifying their continuous absorption and release of moisture. This inherent quality causes the wood to undergo cycles of expansion and contraction. Consequently, by the time the guitar reaches its final destination in your home, it must acclimate to the specific humidity levels, temperature, and environment in your living space. This intricate process of adjustment is crucial to ensure the optimal performance and longevity of the instrument in alignment with the environmental factors it encounters throughout its journey from the factory to your home.
The bottom line is, whether your guitar is brand new, or an old trusted friend, proper setups and maintenance are vital to the longevity of your guitar because they really dial in your guitar's sweet spot for maximum playabilty, sound, and enjoyment.

What Is An Axecraft 13 Point Setup?
Guitar setups are mainly focused on playability and general maintenance. Unless specified by the customer, the goal is the lowest action with little or no buzzing.
At Axecraft, I perform setups by taking measurements, restoring the guitar to the proper numbers and then making final adjustments based on feel.
1) Inspection
Make an initial evaluation of the guitar, checking for any obvious issues and making note of them.
2) Truss Rod Adjustment
Provides the proper amount of relief in the neck.
3) Bridge Height Adjustment
Adjust the string height at the 12th (acoustics) and 17th (electrics and basses.)
4) Rotate Volume and Tone Pots
Deoxit if scratchy, tighten if loose, note any recommendations for the owner.
5) Clean and Polish the Frets
Polishing the frets not only makes your guitar play better, it looks better. We take extra care to cover and protect the fretboard while performing this service.
6) Clean The Fretboard and Oil
(Rosewood, Pau Ferro and Ebony.)
7) Change Strings, Tune, Lubricate Nut.
8) Tighten Loose Tuning Machines And Re-Torque If Needed.
9) Inspect And Tighten Any Loose Screws On The Body.
10) Check And Adjust The Pickup Height.
11) Set And Adjust The Intonation.
This ensures that all notes and chords sound the same all over the fretboard by checking the open note first, then checking at the 12th and 17th frets.
12) Play the guitar and check for buzzing, playability, overall feel.
Every guitar has it's own "sweet spot" where it sounds and plays the very best. We want you to smile from that very first strum =)
13) Clean The Guitar
Wipe everything down, removing fingerprints, smudges, etc. Give you a call and let you know your guitar is ready for pickup.
About Us
Welcome to Axecraft Guitar Works, where passion meets precision in the world of guitar care and craftsmanship. I'm Ron Henley, and my journey with guitars began in the summer of 1975 when, at the age of 12, a friend gave me his old beat up acoustic. However, this beloved 1976 Aria Pro II Les Paul copy you see me holding in this picture is the electric guitar that really changed my life. My dad bought it brand new for my 13th birthday. I named it Cherry Bomb and it is one of my most prized posessions. The story of how I lost it and got it back 40 years later is the inspiration of why I started Axecraft and can be seen HERE Ask to see it when you stop by the shop!
What started off as a fascination with the amazing sounds and emotions you can create by playing the guitar, has evolved into a lifelong love affair with the art of guitar playing and, more importantly, the meticulous care and maintenance that ensures each instrument performs at its best.
With hands-on experience and a deep understanding of the intricacies of guitars, I founded Axecraft Guitar Works to offer a specialized haven for all fellow guitar enthusiasts in my area seeking quality setups and service. Whether you're a seasoned musician, or just starting your musical journey, I am committed to enhancing the playability and tone of your beloved instrument.
My approach is rooted in a combination of technical expertise and a genuine love for the craft. Every guitar entrusted to me receives the same level of attention and care as if it were my own. I understand the unique relationship between a musician and their guitar, and my goal is to ensure that your instrument becomes your best extension of your musical expression.
At Axecraft, you can expect personalized service tailored to your specific needs. From the moment you entrust your guitar to me, I am dedicated to providing solutions that exceed your expectations.
Thank you for considering Axecraft for all your guitar care needs. I look forward to being a part of your musical journey and contributing to the longevity and excellence of your cherished instruments.
Let me wrap this up by saying that I established Axecraft Guitar Works as a home-based business to reduce overhead costs, enabling me to provide quicker service, faster turnaround times, and more competitive pricing than is typical in the industry. This approach allows you to enjoy professional-quality craftsmanship and personalized service with greater convenience and speed.
