Daily Care

Most mornings start with a cup of coffee, a quick moment with the cat and a few minutes with whichever guitar I have out at the time. This daily communion of strings and flesh making musical noises affords me the opportunity to play shows and use my instrument for it’s purpose: to make music. Like our cars, guitars need maintenance.

This can be as simple as a wipe down of the body after a session, a changing of old worn strings or as complex as cleaning the potentiometers in a hollow-body electric guitar. All of these tasks, while mundane at times, are necessary for us to get the best from our gear. Fresh strings are more responsive to your input. A cleaner action and quiet rotation of the pot equal on less thing to make noise or go bad on you during a gig. Solid output jack wiring, snug strap buttons, we check these things on your instrument as if it were our own. A reliable instrument is a great tool for creating.

At Rusty’s we offer these services with the option for same day service*. From string changes to electronics installation, parts assembly into a final guitar, tune ups and set ups. We provide these for our customers so they can get the best out of their gear. Come by the shop today and let us get your guitar the care it needs.
