The Acoustic Guitar Setup that Can't be Done

While customers frequently call guitar repair shops, asking for the price of a setup, most are unaware of the fact that a setup is not always the solution.

Thanks for the video. I have a guitar with the same issue. I look forward to seeing your follow up video on your repair.

What about Gibson's warranty? Seems that neck came from a defective tree.

This is why all my acoustic guitars dont have a truss rod, they are all PLEK'd but most importantly they are made of 100% carbon fibre even the bridge, you can bury them in the dirt in the middle of the harsh weather of the death valley 6 feet under for 4 months come to the spot dig it out tune it up and it would still sound and play like the day it came out of the factory, but best of all it only costs $500 more then a gibson les paul standard 50s and the people behind it put as much effort as they can to make carbon fiber sound like any other wooden guitar, ladies and Gents its non other the Mcpherson guitars

So, you charge money for an "assessment" and then you blow up the price when you find a problem. Sounds like a scam to me.

Why not just be honest and tell customers not to waste money on Gibsons and Martin's and buy Epiphones, Recording Kings, Blueridge and such which needs nothing and are perfectly set up from the factory.
