Single 8 hour day, set up YOUR guitar! (if you do not have a acoustic guitar, one will be provided!)

Sponsored by Stewmac, this 1 day, hands-on workshop offers musicians of all levels a deeper understanding of the mechanics of acoustic guitars and how to properly make adjustments, ensuring playability and longevity. Based on components that go into the perfect set-up, we will be learning theory and working hands-on with provided tools. Participants will learn how to balance and understand the relation between truss rods, string height, and intonation, and will be able to customize these variables to suit their playing style. We will be covering the effects of temperature and humidity in DETAIL.
