SPECIALIST SERVICE
Locking Tremolo Setup & Servicing
Floyd Rose and other double-locking systems require careful balancing, accurate setup and an understanding of how the entire system behaves under real playing conditions.
Spring tension, action, intonation, tuning stability and tremolo position all interact. The goal is a system that feels balanced, stays stable and performs properly.
PLAYABILITY MATTERS
Remove the Resistance Between You and the Guitar
Whether you're preparing for a performance, recording session, rehearsal or simply want your guitar to feel inspiring again, a correctly set-up instrument makes technique, tone and musical expression easier to access.
Next-Day Express Restrings can be booked directly. Full setups, electronics and other servicing are confirmed after enquiry.
