Guitar Setup Classes
Learn how to setup your guitar at our monthly guitar setup class, hosted on Saturdays by two of our trained and skilled luthiers on staff. We ask that you show up 15-30 minutes prior to the class start time. Please bring in two guitars with easy truss rod access. Someone’s extra guitar will be used as the class demo. Class tuition includes over $100 worth of take-home tools, a 24 page booklet, and a free set of strings (coated and bass strings are extra). To reserve your spot please use the calendar below to pay via PayPal or secure credit card payment.

Class Reviews
I took the Electric Guitar Setup class offered at Straight Frets, and it was a phenomenal value. Danny and Mason provided in-depth, hands-on instruction throughout the entire setup process. I have a tendency to ask a LOT of questions, and both instructors provided thoughtful, thorough answers to all of them. On top of all that, they provided several highly useful setup tools and a booklet outlining the setup process (with even more detail) to take home. I highly recommend taking this class to anyone who finds themselves tinkering with their instrument to get it to play as well as possible.

I took the setup class and it was great! They helped me overcome my fear of working on my own guitar and showed me actual methods that were developed through real experience.
The people at straight frets are the 'whisperer' types. You get a sense that they've done this for so long and seen so many things: they have a keen and connected understanding of how the mechanics of instruments work, but also—how to make them work for your specific needs.
I highly recommend taking the setup class, and I highly recommend using their services for repairs and setups as well
