Instrument Calibration

We balance wood tension, steel strings, and bridge geometry until your guitar stops fighting you. Every setup is calibrated to micro-tolerances with feeler gauges for flawless mechanical alignment.

Fretwork & Calibration

Standard repair shops turn away complex setups because they require manual precision and mechanical empathy. We measure fret height with steel feeler gauges to eliminate buzz and restore action.

Fret Leveling

We eliminate fret buzz by dressing and crowning each wire to exact tolerances. No high spots, no dead notes, just a flat plane for clean action.

Intonation Sweeps

Every saddle is adjusted under full string tension using strobe tuners to ensure perfect harmonic alignment across the entire scale length.
