Reading the comments...is there one actual guitar player here? Does anyone know what the fuck actually goes into setting the intonation and adjusting the action of the strings?

And people talking about permanent changes they could have made....what possible changes are getting done for 200...the proper parts alone would cost at least half of that and no one is doing work in a shop for free.

So presumably she had it set up which means strings were changed, intonation was properly setup and the action was adjusted with a truss rod check and some feet polishing.

If he's pissed the intonation is correct hes just a shitty player.

Or he liked that it was his guitar that he salvaged with his own hands.

I have a friend with guitars he uses for specific songs. This isn't even weird for musicians, let alone artists in general.

If someone took my guitar and had it adjusted by someone else to meet standard industry sound specs I’d be pissed. It’s not just a guitar, it’s my hobby and something I have put a lot of time into to get the specific tone, tension, and sound that I’m looking for. Especially if they paid 200 bucks to have it done, you could pick up a beater guitar, an amp, a synth, or even a used drum kit for that much.

It also just crosses a certain line of respect for someone’s art and personal space. It’d be like if someone was working on a painting and you snuck it away to have it finished by a commissioned artist. That’d be shitty and disrespectful.

Exactly what I was thinking. It's like grabbing your unpainted warhammer figures and having them professionally painted. Yeah, they look better, but that's not the point.

I’d kill someone if they dared to paint my precious grey Blood Angels.

Foreal, its clear some folks around here have never loved something for a memory

Unpainted or poorly painted plastic figurines function exactly as well as professionally painted ones. This is not how guitar repairs work.

It's your hobby that you put so much time into but you can't figure out how to readjust your guitar to get the sound you want after basic repairs? Skill issue

You don’t play an instrument, you don’t make music, you’re just a useless fuck of a cunt.

You don't have a clue what I do and you don't actually care, you just want an excuse to pretend I'm not 100% right
