Re: Paying for Set-up
I had a set up person local to where I worked. He was ridiculously slow and I will never recommenced him again. I have a friend who is doing some set up work I would happily use and recommend. When I first was getting started, I had my set ups done by a guy who ran an electric guitar, skateboard, cd shop. He had some mandolins and ukes (vintage stuff) on the walls and did a great job and was kind and helpful about letting an absolute ignoramus know what he was doing.
Were I in your shoes, I wouldn't use that shop for my maintenance (set up) needs unless I really had to. I mean a basic set up is 1-2 hours work (nut, bridge, maybe a tweak of the truss rod) unless more parts are needed or the instrument is in really bad shape. That should garner $40-70. which isn't that bad of a deal for someone. Bad customer service should be a business killer.
