Setups should be done regularly to any instrument. They keep any unneeded stress off critical parts of the instrument, keeps the action at an optimal height, and reduces the effort needed to play the instrument. Rhodes Shoppe puts every instrument through a 25-point checklist to ensure that your instrument plays at the highest possible quality.

*The cost of a setup is typically between 60.00 and 120.00 plus the cost of the strings.

As a fretted instrument gets played, frets can be worn out to a point that a setup is unable to resolve an issue. In this kind of situation fretwork will be required. Using specialized tools and jigs to simulate string tension, Rhodes Shoppe will shape level frets that will take the instrument to a playability level beyond what adjustments alone would be able to do.

*A fret level, crowning, and polishing is typically between 100.00 and 150.00.

*Fret end dressings are 45.00.

*Scalloping a fingerboard is between 20.00 and 30.00 per fret and for a compound radius scallop is between 30.00 and 40.00 per fret.

Like other parts on instruments, nuts and saddles can be broken or wear out. Seasonal changes are very hard on acoustic instruments especially. Many musicians have multiple saddles that can be changed out depending on the humidity of the season. Improve your tone and playability by upgrading to a bone, graphite, or synthetic nut/saddle.

*The cost of a nut is 15.00 per string plus the cost of the material.

*Saddle will range from 60.00 and 120.00 plus the cost of materials.

Old strings will sound lifeless and are more likely to break. A standard string and tune at Rhodes Shoppe will go the extra mile and polish frets, clean and condition the fretboard, tighten all hardware, polish the finished areas, and restring with strings of your choosing and tune to pitch.

*The cost range is between 25.00 and 35.00 plus the cost of the strings depending on the type of instrument.

Instruments can get very dirty as they age. Dirt and grime promotes parts becoming seized, accelerated finish wear, and premature corrosion.

The finished areas will be buffed to remove light scratching and haze to make your instrument look and feel like glass.

*The cost of a detailing starts at 100.00 and includes a setup.
