Your instrument is in good hands with us and is set up to suit your playing style.

We’ll make sure your instrument sounds, plays and looks like new.
Please note: an additional setup fee of €10,- is charged for 12-string guitars and guitars with a Floyd Rose-style tremolo. Furthermore, strings are not included in a setup. If you do not have your own set, we charge €10,- for standard gauge acoustic and electric guitar strings. For 12-string guitar strings the charge is €15,- and for bass strings we charge €20,-.

Meet Leon from
Gitaar Afstellen Rotterdam
Looking for the perfect setup for your guitar or bass in Rotterdam? Our Rotterdam-based luthier, Leon, is ready to help. A properly set up guitar simply sounds better and plays far more easily. Whether you’re a seasoned professional, rehearse regularly or play at home for the love of it, you’ll notice the difference in playability, comfort and resonance immediately. Your guitar is a true passion here.
Leon is likely one of the only specialists in the Randstad who looks at your instrument through the eyes of a furniture maker, listens with the ears of an audio engineer and performs setups with the precision of an audiologist. His foundation began with technical training in furniture making, specialising in wooden musical instrument construction. As a qualified Audio Engineer (SAE) and musician with over thirty years of experience, he understands that great recordings and live sound always start at the source. A guitar should therefore sound clean, open and transparent. Thanks to his background as an audiologist and owner of Minerva Hoortechniek, he also has in-depth knowledge of human hearing and acoustics.
In addition to regular maintenance and professional setups, you can visit us for specialised fretwork, guitar/bass modifications and repairs. From slotting a bone nut to assembling and soldering your custom Warmoth or Allparts projects, we’ve got you covered. Another passion of Leon: bringing vintage guitars, including Japanese models, back to life. Musicians from across the Randstad trust this craftsmanship, from The Hague and Zoetermeer to Delft, Vlaardingen, Dordrecht and Gouda. Our workshop is conveniently located near the A16 (Hillegersberg/Schiebroek exit), making it easy to reach by car.
Book your appointment via the contact form and give your guitar the care it deserves!
