Question: Why is the key to a properly performing instrument a good setup?...
Sourcing musical instruments that musicians can fall in love with, is our first goal. Since used guitars can sometimes have serious issues, we intensely focus on acquiring only the finest second-hand instruments, which are then repaired and setup by our expert luthiers.
Answer: Fully 60% of the performance of a guitar depends on a proper set-up. However, during the manufacturing process, even new guitars are not removed from the assembly line to be prepared for sale. That would add an extra hour or two for each guitar. Musical instrument companies simply do not allocate time for that. This is why second-hand instruments we sell will often perform better than when purchased new.
