Set Up & Repairs

Lothario Guitars now offer a guitar set up and repairs service here at our Liverpool workshop.  See the list below to find out how we can help you get the best out of your instrument.

If you’d like to get your guitar or bass playing better, a Set Up is a good idea.

A Set Up includes the following: Nut slot height, truss rod, pick up height, action and intonation adjustments, fingerboard clean and oil, clean and service elecs, general clean.

We set guitars to low and comfortable string height but feel free to let us know how you would like it set, also on collection please take time to try out your guitar to make sure its the way you want it. We can make any required adjustments then and there.

Also you are welcome to drop back in to make any other adjustments when you have played it at home if it has settled into your home environment.

Probably the biggest improvement you can make to a guitar is to level and dress the frets and set it up. We set the neck straight, level the fret tops and re-profile, shape & crown them, as well as paying attention to the fret ends. Then they are polished to a high shine.

Once this is done the set up is even more effective as we aren’t having to raise the action to overcome the high or low frets.

Please feel free to drop in (no appointment needed) to have your guitar restrung while you wait.

From re-soldering a loose solder connection to rewiring, shielding, new pick ups, custom switching, we can help.
