Maintenance
Keep your instrument singing, for life.
Professional Setups
Even if you’re a pro at tuning your guitar, a pro tune-up can make a big difference for any instrument! The strings put constant tension on the neck and body of a stringed instrument. This can cause damage over time if not maintained properly. Time can also do a number on guitar electronics. Regular setups keep your guitar in top condition for a lifetime of play.
We offer affordable, timely setups performed by our master luthier in-house. A professional guitar setup at Berkshire Guitars includes restringing, fret leveling, and many of our maintenance services automatically. See below for details on some of the other maintenance services we provide.
Maintenance Services
Electronics & Hardware Inspections
We can do an all-over inspection of your instrument to discover the source of odd noises, troubles with your volume or to optimize your tone.
Tuning Machine Lubrication
If you have troublesome tuning machines, we can assist with a tuning machine lubrication for your guitar or bass. Proper lubrication extends the life of these important elements of your instrument for decades to come.
Fretboard Conditioning
Every guitarist knows the great feeling of new strings, but when was the last time you treated your fretboard to a conditioning? We will clean and polish your fretboard to protect against early aging and cracks.
Buffing & Cleaning
A professional cleaning does more than keep your guitar looking good. It prevents string and fret corrosion, damage to sensitive electronics, and wear & tear on the wooden components of your instrument.
