In order to setup your guitar successfully, measurements and adjustments need to happen in the right order. A correct setup of the guitar neck, the string height or action, the radius, the string length or intonation will determine the playability and the sound of your guitar. Next the pickups will be set at the right height and the tremolo system will be fine-tuned with the spring tension in the guitar. The frets are measured and when the guitar becomes hard to setup, fret leveling can be a perfect option. In case fret levering isn’t possible anymore, Fretting of a guitar neck can be carried out. Finally all remaining parts of the guitar will be checked and the guitar will be cleaned and re-strung.

Base price for setup, restringing and maintenance is €75 (VAT 21% included). In this process, the strings are supplied by the customer. In case extra work like fret leveling, fretting of the guitar neck, making a new nut or bridge will be carried out, this will be first discussed.

• Sven Pribnow uit Zoetermeer (NL): “What a nice gift from my deer colleagues! After 30 years of guitar playing I finally get why all these screws are meant for. As of now I won’t bring my guitars to the specialist anymore for the finer setup work, but I can do it myself now. Very very cool! I’ve learned so much today and I had a nice and pleasant time together with met Mardi Kruijt, Tim en Dirk Verschueren of Guitar Saloon. Highly recommended by the way in case you don’t only want to play guitar, but also want to understand why it sounds as it sounds (or not, because after this day it isn’t the guitar anymore which is to blame …)” – July 2025

• Heino Labeeuw uit Wevelgem, gitarist bij Tummelkröd: “Iedereen die mij een beetje kent weet dat ik een passie (of eerder obsessie) heb voor gitaren. I could already tinker with it quite well myself but I have now also taken a professional guitar tuning workshop with Dirk Verschueren of Guitar Saloon. Very informative experience on how to adjust a guitar substantiated and with measurement methods so that it always stands correctly. Because a guitar which is well set up, plays much better! In the 12-step course, you will learn all sides of the instrument in a cozy space. Highly recommended!” – November 2024
• Kane Adams from Gelrode, guitarist with Desmond Dandies: “The guitar plays fine now, the action is very good. I’m very satisfied with the setup”. – Oktober 2024
