The workshop in Aarhus is run by Kristian Egebjerg Hansen.
From string changes to neck resets
We do everything from standard string changes, setups, and adjustments to refretting, neck resets, and major repairs. We install and replace pickups and electronics, repair damage, and adjust the neck, nut, and bridge. Some instruments just need a thorough inspection, while others require more. Either way, you'll end up with an instrument that works and feels right in your hands.
We start with the instrument, your playing style, and what you want to get out of it. This applies whether you bring in an old favorite, a new guitar that has never quite felt right, or an instrument with years of wear. We also help with amplifiers, pedals, and other equipment.
What you get with a setup
A setup is an inspection of the entire instrument. It's right for the new guitar that has never quite played well, the used one you just bought, or the one that has sat in the closet for years. We do what the instrument needs, and a setup typically includes:
- String change
- Neck adjustment, string height, and intonation, tailored to your playing style and strings
- Fret polishing
- Cleaning and oiling of the fretboard
- Cleaning of potentiometers and jack sockets
- Retightening of tuners, strap buttons, and jack nut
- Nut and bridge check. If anything needs to be replaced, you'll be notified of the work and price before we proceed
