Why would I want a set-up?

Having your instrument set-up by a professional ensures that it will play its best. K-Robin Guitars will set-up your guitar to your exact specifications and for your individual playing style. A set-up is a great opportunity to identify any potential problems your instrument might have (and their solutions), and point out opportunities for upgrades and modifications. A professional set-up also ensures accurate intonation – a must for performing and recording. To keep your instrument healthy and functional it is recommended that you have it set-up (at least) every three to four months..
