Want to ask about strings, maintenance, amps, mics, or comparisons of different guitars or any music equipment? This is for all threads related to music equipment.
I checked on a price to get my guitar set-up from a local music store.
They said $40. Is this an acceptable price? I haven't any experience of ever getting a full set-up, so I'm not sure if I'm getting a little screwed, which I think I am.

I emailed them back about it. the biggest thing is that I need my action lowered. They said they can do that. I assume string change+intonation+lowered action.
Well, lowering your action (especially on an acoustic) can be a bitch, and getting the guitar reintonated can also be a bitch. I'd say the few hours+bitchfests saved would be worth $25-$40

Cool. I wasn't exactly sure of what I was getting into. I have set-up electrics before (I used to work in a guitar shop), but never acoustics. Thanks for the info.
Random movie quote to make you seem hip and "with it": The food court is downstairs. The cookie stand is upstairs. It's not like we're talking quantum physics here.
I'm hoping to find another place that will do it for less. The Guitar Center here doesn't do it at all. I went to a relatively well-known music store though in the suburban Detroit area.
