If you’re comparing guitar setup cost in Nottingham, the Full Guitar Setup at RG Guitar Tech is £50. I tailor it to the instrument, tuning, string gauge and playing style, rather than using a one-size-fits-all specification.
What is included in a £50 guitar setup?
Your guitar is assessed and play-tested before I adjust neck relief, string action and intonation. I check the nut, bridge, tuners and pickup heights, carry out detailed fret care, restring the instrument, then test it again across the neck. The service also includes a deep three-stage body polish where the finish is suitable and a written setup report.
The aim is to make your guitar feel comfortable and play reliably while preserving the sound and response you want. A setup can be adjusted for low action, heavier strumming, fingerstyle, alternate tunings or a particular string gauge.
Are strings included in the setup price?
The £50 covers the setup work. Replacement strings, parts, fret levelling and repairs are not included unless agreed separately. If your guitar needs extra work, I will explain what I have found and discuss the cost with you before carrying it out.
Why do guitar setup prices vary?
Different workshops include different tasks in a “setup”. Some quotes cover only basic adjustments, while others include a restring, cleaning and a final play-test. A guitar with worn or uneven frets, a damaged nut, a floating tremolo or a change of tuning may need extra assessment or repair work.
When comparing guitar setup prices in Nottingham, ask what is included, whether strings are extra and how additional work is approved. A clear quote helps you compare like for like.
