That can be said about practically anything off the shelf out there. A new acoustic of good quality may not take as much effort to tweak in, but most of the electric guitars, and basses out there will fall into the above category. That’s everything from a $99.95 Sam Ash Rock Ax, to a $5000 Gibson 1960 Les Paul Reissue. Set-ups, fret detail, and a general once over on how this stuff is assembled will make a big difference in an instrument"s performance. Do I mean, like a brand-new, just out of the box, "I just bought it" guitar may need work? Yes, that’s right! Most brand new stuff is not ready for primetime performance straight out of the box. The fact that this is so should not discourage you from having the extra detail work performed that truly allows an instrument to be all that it can be. We are not born to play a musical instrument in a natural manner. Every virtuoso has spent some time in the woodshed learning how to tame the beast that they have chosen as their instrument of expression. It is the desire to make music, combined with the repetitions of practicing, which evolve a person into one who can musically express themselves. In this process, it is nice to know that the inanimate object, your instrument, is working like it is supposed to. That is what I do my best to deal with in my set-up, repair, and restoration work. .
