Pro-SCM Setup
It’s a well-known fact that Takamine make great guitars. Timber is used for the most part for the construction of these fine instruments.
Timber comes from trees and with the changes in weather conditions, humidity etc, these timbers often try to be trees again.
Necks can move, fretboards can shrink ever-so-slightly exposing sharp fret ends, etc, etc.
It is also impossible at the factory level to second guess the exact requirements of how a player likes their instrument to be setup, so they are setup within a defined tolerance.
We setup a lot of instruments.
This instrument for example will be setup for you before it leaves our shop. We will discuss your preferences and work towards providing that. Whether you are an experienced player or beginner we will work with you to ensure that this instrument is as easy to play as it possibly can be.
Our Pro-SCM setup includes:
• Check that the action meets factory or your specifications
• Check and rectify any buzzing, intonation or playability issues
• Check and adjust the nut and bridge string heights
• Hand roll the fret ends to debur the sharp edges and polish the frets
• Test electronics, pots and switches for correct function
• Inspect instrument construction and condition of the strings
• Tune to pitch
As a paid service this setup can easily cost $250 or more – it’s included in our price…now, that’s real value!
