At Kairon Guitar Store, we understand the importance of receiving a guitar that's ready to play. That’s why we take care of the final details that manufacturers might overlook, ensuring your instrument reaches you in perfect condition.

Our Standard Setup includes:

• Visual Inspection: We meticulously inspect the entire instrument to identify and address any issues.
• Tuning Pegs: We check and adjust the tuning pegs for optimal performance.
• Electronics and Pickups: We ensure all electronics and pickups are functioning correctly.
• Neck and Frets: We examine the neck and frets for any imperfections and make necessary adjustments.
• String Height and Pickup Height: We set the string and pickup height for optimal playability and sound.
• Intonation: We adjust the intonation to ensure the guitar plays in tune across the entire fretboard.

Every detail is scrutinized so your new guitar arrives in perfect condition. This service would normally cost around $60, but we're offering it to you for free with the purchase of one of our guitars.
