The purpose of a setup is to bring a guitar back to its optimum playability, to have it looking, sounding, and feeling at its very best. It can be the difference between a high end guitar being terrible to play and a cheap budget guitar feeling amazing. Every guitar can benefit from a good setup, new and old, low-cost or top of the line. In fact not every new guitar leaves the factory with an ideal setup and those that do can be affected by changes in humidity and climactic conditions meaning that a once properly setup guitar can need adjustments after being shipped from abroad. Even a change in string gauge or custom tuning can be enough to knock a setup off balance. A quick visit to Sound Factory’s Dublin guitar workshop is all that’s needed to get your guitar back to its peak performance.
