Instrument Setup and Adjustment

The essential parts of the instrument are inspected and adjusted:

• Neck: The neck is checked to ensure it has the proper curvature. If necessary, the instrument's truss rod is adjusted.
• Fretboard: Fret edges are smoothed if necessary. The fretboard is cleaned and conditioned.
• Hardware: The mechanical adjustments of the bridge and tuners are checked to ensure they function properly.
• Intonation: The bridge saddles are adjusted to ensure the instrument is properly intonated.
• Electronics: The instrument is checked for ground hum, and the potentiometers, selector switch, and input jack are checked for noise. If necessary, they will be cleaned.
• Strings: String replacement (strings not included)
• Inspection by a musician. Finally, the instrument is tuned and tested by one of the company's musicians, who ensures that the instrument plays comfortably.
