Out of the box, production guitars usually have high action, uneven frets, and poorly cut nuts. Over time, things only get worse: necks shift, frets wear, tuning drifts, and your guitar stops feeling right.
Whether your guitar is brand new or years old, a setup is the single best thing you can do to make it feel alive.
