Guitaring Passionately's Services
Guitaring Passionately's Services
Hardly any acoustic guitar can exhaust its life span without going through some forms of repair, restore or augmentation works. Wear and tears, oxidation, moisture attacks, sodium chloride corrosion, etc. are unavoidable causes for acoustic guitars to degenerate and repair or restore can decelerate this aging process. At least that is the extrinsic part. Another interesting perspective is; your awareness of quality increases gradually, your expectations on your acoustic guitar change, thus you will be driven to take actions to meet the new preferential expectations, a.k.a. augmentation. That will be the intrinsic part. Augmenting certain guitar parts to materials of superior quality than the original is common nowadays. While changing better parts change the tone of the guitars, certain parts changes serve to augment the aesthetic value only. Regardless the upgrades are for tone or aesthetic, both aspects are equally important for guitars. As like when we dine at a fabulous steak house, does our steak look good or taste good? Remember, make no apology when you have the desire to upgrade your guitars, just do it!
This is what I do in brief,
- Install nut and saddle of various material
- Install pick ups
- Sales of nut and saddle blanks
- Sales of bridge pins of various materials
- Sales of acoustic guitar strings of various brands and gauges
- Setting up of guitar to augment playability
- A suite of guitar restoring services like polish fret wires, buffing, nourishes the fingerboard with lemon oil, etc.
