HAWKINS GUITAR
SET UP CLASS
Guitar Set Up Class
Learn to setup your own guitars in this comprehensive all day Saturday class. In this class you will learn how to level frets, how to properly adjust the truss rod, adjusting the nut and saddle, intonation and pickup height. We cover the tools you will need to buy and the class can be scheduled for your convenience.
This is a REAL set up class. We teach the exact same procedures that we use in our highly reputable shop. Bring your own guitar and leave with a set up (done by you) that plays like butter and the knowledge to make any structurally sound instrument play like never before. We do not guess and we do not know what a "Basic Setup" is...a guitar is either set up to specific specs or it is not. To us a "Basic Set Up" is a lame excuse for not doing the job the right from start to finish.
Class runs from 11 am to 5 pm (with a 30 minute lunch break) bring two guitars (if you have two) and bring strings (or you can buy strings here if you prefer). Also, there will be a limited number of students per class so please note your date on the sign up page when you check out.
For those who cannot attend in person, you can learn this process through our ONLINE course.
