How much is a guitar set up? I have some fret buzz in the 7th I can't work out

Guitar setups start at $45 and go up from there depending on the type of guitar. Get rid of the fret buzz, straighten out the neck and lower the action as best as humanly possible. Our luthier is AMAZING!!

Unfortunately I have to rescind my 5 star rating after my last experience with Chris…read more I took a 1979 Flying V to him for a refret. After how well he did my previous job, there was no other choice in my head than Chris to do the job. First, the price was PRETTY hefty. $541. Refret, nut, and setup. Usually a set up is thrown in free of charge when you do a nut and refret but whatever. No big deal. I knew from past experience that the job would be done well and it was worth the money. It wasn't. Not in the slightest. First off, the nut is in the slot uneven. It sits further towards the high e string than it should, and it hangs off the fret board slightly. Meaning there's a gap where you can feel the nut slot on the low e side. Annoying since your finger rests there quite a bit. Second, the refret was NOT good. There were still scratches in the top of the frets you could feel when bending strings, there were very sharp fret ends poking out of the side of the fret board, and the fret board was MANGLED on the sides and top. Third, there WAS A MASSIVE spot of damaged finish on the back of the guitar. Obviously the guitar was resting on a rag or something with some kind of solvent on it, and damaged the paint in a 3x5 spot where the nitro finish was cracking and flaking off. Another small thing was that the guitar was missing a tuner mounting screw. I took photos of the guitar before and it was there. Not sure why it was removed or why it went missing but it was an original Grover imperial screw from the late 70s so it's not easy or possible to replace it. One shiny new screw is not highly visible. I was supremely disappointed in the workmanship. It feels like it was done in about 2 hours as fast as possible with at little care and thought for my instrument as possible. When I got it back, I had to knock the fret ends down myself flush with the neck, and I polished the frets from 1500 to 3000g and polished them to how they should have been for almost $600. The guitar is now currently being refinished, because the back of the guitar was just so disappointing to see that giant spot that was just cracking and peeling more and more every day ruining the beautiful 40+ year natural wear. I wrote him a nicely worded email asking for an explanation but got no response. So this is why this review is finally coming out. I have read that Chris has a tendency to get argumentative with customers who have genuinely bad experiences, so you can trust what I say or not. I think my photos speak for themselves. I have no reason to be dishonest. I've sent plenty of people to Chris's guitar shop over the years, but unfortunately I got some real dirty. Now it's costing me a pretty penny.

Classical Strings - My daughter with her old violin, which she loves dearly. Still mad that I trade her in. She wants to keep her as well.

I brought two violins to Classical Strings to have some work done, and John did a magnificent job!…read moreHe replaced the pegs and carefully matched them to the material and color of the tailpieces and chin rests. He also replaced and adjusted both bridges. Both violins now sound amazing! I have also played one of John's violins for over 15 years, and it has been the most reliable and best-sounding violin out of all the ones I own. I highly recommend John's craftsmanship and expertise. Thank you so much!

Last year when my daughter started learning violin, I thought, "She's just a beginner. Let's rent…read moreone first." Well... renting was about $30/month, plus insurance, so it came out to around $40/month. Then when we brought it home, we realized it somehow had two A strings on it. They did exchange it for us, but the fingerboard and overall quality still weren't great. Our violin teacher then recommended Classical Strings, and honestly I'm so glad we found them. The owner is super knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to help us choose a beginner violin that actually fit my daughter. We ended up buying a basic violin for around $400-500. (Please don't use the price we paid to negotiate now ... everything costs more these days!) Looking back, buying was actually a much better value than renting. After a year of rental payments, you still don't own anything. With a purchased violin, you're building value from day one. The difference was huge. A better violin is easier to play, sounds better, and makes practicing so much more enjoyable. My daughter became more confident, improved faster, and actually wanted to practice instead of being frustrated. This year we went back for a regular maintenance check, and after trying a higher-level violin, she immediately noticed the difference. She absolutely loved it! The best part is that Classical Strings has a trade-in program, so we were able to trade in her old violin toward a better one. That made upgrading so much more affordable, and now she has a violin that matches her current level. If your child is just starting violin (or any string instrument), or if they're ready for an upgrade, I highly recommend checking them out. The owner never tries to sell you the most expensive instrument. Instead, he recommends what actually fits your child's level, goals, and your budget. He's fluent in both English and Mandarin, which is a huge plus for many families. They also carry violins, violas, cellos, and other string instruments, so they're a great one-stop shop for string families.

I first called to see how long it typically takes to restring an acoustic guitar when 1 string is…read morebroken. The guy who answered said it could be done same day, or could take a couple days, depending on how many guitars are in line for repair. Thankfully he also told me the tech was coming in in a few days, on Thursday. When I brought it by on Thursday, I got to speak to the tech & show him the guitar. He explained the 2 options and what's included for the price. At first, I was experiencing sticker shock - I'm not a musician, so I didn't expect things to be that much! BUT I bought the guitar for my kiddo 5 years ago & hadn't done any kind of upkeep, so I bit the bullet & went with the higher option. Vincent, the tech, surprised me & got it done in just a couple hours. I was able to pick it up before closing time, which was a nice surprise for my boy. Man. I am glad I went with the top deck (something) option... it looked like a brand new guitar! He really did a terrific job - the wood looked all smooth & conditioned, the strings were tight & low, it was even tuned... my son was verrry excited about it! This is where we bought the guitar, and we'd definitely go back to this Guitar Center for repairs & future purchases! I love that they sell used gear too.

I've finally had enough of this craphole store and company in general and today sent me over the…read moreedge. This is nothing personal to any employee there (okay maybe) but I spent over $1000 in bass set up earlier this year (no breaks full premium ones at that that I didn't ask for, you would think MAYBE they'd do a 5%-10% off deal after 5 of them for a regular customer). Anyway, brought a used older rare bass in (little information online on what they are worth for that matter) to sell around 11am on a given day. The first sales associate named George told me he needed a tech to evaluate it first (guy wasn't in until 1pm so had to wait 2 hours).. but he could write up a ticket and give me a quote based on ones previously sold online which is their company policy for appraising gear. That quote (minus any repair work yet which it didn't need) was between $300-350, cool. Came back after 1pm, tech was in finally. Nothing wrong or at least nothing THAT pressing where it needed a set up where I would be charged $70 from the quote buy price. Tech starts tinkering adjusting truss rod and strings then says "oh look the neck needs a shim and this and that" after he made adjustments to it which it didn't need. Their purchase of your guitar will always be LESS set up costs (it's a total scam, any guitar or bass will need tiny bits of this or that because they are trying to skim more of their purchase price off you, but this bass was 100% playable and surprise, already set up by another GC recently so it was a test that you guys failed). So back at the register on the second trip, the first associate again helping me now suddenly all of a sudden isn't sure what price GC can buy it for (even though we found a listing of the exact same bass online previously and agreed to it). Because I questioned the hesitation, he now passes the info to the sales manager and he sends pics to some offsite ghost team of appraisers at corporate. After a 30 min wait, he says the best they can do is $150 minus the $70 fake set up it didn't need. This bass would end up next week on their wall for sale for $524 the first associate told me anyway. I wasted nearly a whole day off to get jerked around. If I could give zero stars I would. NEVER EVER SELL YOUR GEAR TO GUITAR CENTER, they lie, cheat and waste your precious time. If I wanted to get low balled that bad I would sell it on Craigslist. All of the above statement is true and honest to my knowledge of times and dollar figures discussed with sales associates at the Brea Guitar Center. YMMV but I would run far away. After all the money I spent at this store this was the straw that broke the camel's back..SUPER UNPROFESSIONAL staff and Scamming buy policy.
