FAQ – All about
guitar maintenance
What is Gitaar Afstellen Nederland?
Gitaar Afstellen Nederland is the only official network in the Netherlands connecting certified luthiers with local musicians. No matter where in the country you live, we’re here to help you with professional guitar and bass setups, maintenance, repairs, restorations and modifications. You’ll always find a trusted luthier near you – someone who handles your instrument with care, offers transparent pricing and ensures speedy results.
How do I know if my guitar or bass needs a setup?
If your instrument plays too heavy, if you notice fret buzz or if certain notes sound out of tune, it’s time for a setup. Even brand new guitars and basses benefit from a professional setup. We’ll help you to get the most out of your instrument.
How is a guitar or bass set up?
Every guitar is carefully set up to suit your playing style and preferences. Everything is customised according to your taste – from the truss rod in the neck to setting the pickup height and checking the electronics. Let us know what kind of music you play, who your guitar heroes are, what tunings you use and which strings you prefer. We’ll deliver the perfect setup – tailored to you and your instrument.
How much does a setup cost and how does the payment work?
A complete setup costs €75,- and includes changing the strings, setting the action, pickup height and truss rod, intonating the bridge saddles, checking and if needed cleaning the electronics and potentiometers, cleaning and conditioning the fretboard, cleaning and polishing the frets and cleaning the body. Please see our services for a full overview.
When picking up your instrument, you can pay via an online payment link (credit card or iDEAL) sent by e-mail and SMS. Payment in cash is also possible. Once you’ve completed the payment, a VAT-invoice will automatically be sent to your e-mail. After that, it’s time to go home and play!
How can I make an appointment to set up my instrument?
You can easily book an appointment online with a luthier near you using our booking form. Let us know what guitar you have and what work needs to be done – we’ll take care of the rest. We work without waiting lists and typically have availability right away.
How long does a guitar setup take?
We don’t work with waiting lists, so you can book your appointment right away. In most cases, your instrument is ready within 1 to 2 working days. Need it sooner? No worries, choose our same-day service for a €25,- surcharge and we’ll make sure your guitar is ready that very day!
Which cities are you located in and what are your opening hours?
Currently we’re only active in Groningen, but we’re working hard to expand to other cities. Each of our locations sets its own working hours, but don’t worry – our luthiers are flexible. Just let us know your preferred time in the booking form and we’ll find a day and time that works for you.
