• Pro-SCM Setup
Our Pro-SCM setups are in high demand. Not only do we use our vast experience to bring old guitars back to life, we often complete the finishing touches somehow missed at the factory. Every guitar has its own set of variables and among other things we pay close attention to fret levelling, rolling the sharp edges of frets, hand polishing frets to deliver a smooth and slinky feel, string height, neck set, neck angle and the list goes on. Our aim is to provide a guitar that you don’t even have to think about when you it up to play . . . just enjoy.
