KC GUITAR SETUPS:
Ron's KC Guitar Setups is open in the Northland. KC Guitar Setups is a home-based shop that provides professional guitar setups and repair with quick turnarounds in most cases.  Contact me today for consultation or appointment to get your guitar playing its best. 

The cost of setups varies on the type of guitar and the extent of work needed.  Contact me about your request.

The guitar and bass setups are focused on playability and some general maintenance.  I keep your preferences in mind on making it low action with little or no buzzing of the strings.  I restore the guitar to the proper measurements and then I make final adjustments personalized for you by playing it, ensuring it feels right.  Finding that sweet spot for your guitar and style of playing may take further discussion and work.
