| Has your guitar become a little difficult to play sometimes? Does it sound,"out of tune"? Are the strings too high off the neck? Is the neck warped or bowed? Are the tuning gears difficult to turn? Are moving parts rusty?? It could be that your guitar needs a tune up! A hard to play guitar could be a roadblock to your success as a musician, so if you want your guitar to play better and faster, let Haywire prep your guitar with our " 8 Point Gig Ready Process". It's like getting it ready for the Grand Prix! This is the same process that we perform on all of our new instruments, and it will put your “baby” back in shape, and allow you to play fast and in tune up and down the fret board like never before! You can also give your favorite guitar a make-over by selecting from our guitar upgrade page. Change your hardware, pick ups, tuners, or even add a neck shave to allow smaller hands and fingers to play with the same advantages as a guitar player with much larger hands. Bring your guitar back from the dead with a well-deserved tune up, vacation and spa treatment from Haywire Custom Guitars! Includes cleaning the electronics with DeoxIT, cleaning the fretboard, tightening any loose hardware, adding the proper washers to the input jack and tightening it to make sure it stays tight, restringing, and then adjusting the truss rod, nut slots, string height, and intonation.! Please feel free to Inquire about how we can help you be a better player! |
Our exclusive 8-point gig ready guitar process …
1. 4-axis Alignment of the guitar neck
Each guitar neck is checked and adjusted to insure that it is true and straight to insure proper alignment on all axis. This step insures proper action and
allows for more accurate and easier guitar tuning, playing and set-up in the following steps.
2. Inspect and Lube the guitar tuning gears
Before installing the guitar tuning gears, each one is checked thoroughly. Each tuning gear is adjusted so that there is no play in the mechanism. They
are then lubricated to insure smooth and even movement to make your guitar tune accurately.
3. Potting the guitar pickups
We dip the pickups in hot wax to reduce squeal and unwanted guitar feedback.
4. Prep the guitar body
Before installing the guitar electronic components, great care is taken to insure that all wires are properly routed, spaced, and grounded to insure years
of trouble free service with your guitar.
5. Level and polish the frets
This insures that all of the guitar frets are level, eliminating any possibility of fret buzz due to unevenness.
6. Radius the guitar strings
Most guitar necks have a contour over the top of the neck. We adjust the strings to make sure that height of each string follows the contour of the
guitar neck.
7. Adjusting the overall guitar string height and the action
Once we set the contour and radius of the guitar strings, it’s time to adjust the overall height of the strings from the top of the frets to the bottom of the
guitar strings.
8. Set the guitar intonation
This step is done twice. The intonation is set two times with a 24 hour "seat-in" period in between to allow the guitar to properly re-seat to the new
adjustments.
