how many here go to a pro to have there guitars setup or do you do them your self...

i do my own setups... once in awhile i will take it to a pro..

only reason i learned to do my own was when i was in my band was cheaper for me to learn then spend money for someone else..

I am still experimenting and trying my best with my own set-ups and so far it works :sweet:

I do my own, and for other local bands. Free to help them out. A you-scratch-mine-I-scratch yours deal. I do any tech work, custom paint jobs, amp service, custom pedals, etc. You pay for parts.
I loan gear, in my presence, for recording. Only at one studio where we have a deal and contract.
The name of the business is called, "Scumbag Technologies".

I do my own setups, mostly. I will take a guitar in to a pro for a fret level or re-fret. I too have done custom painting. Years ago I worked in an autbody shop so I got familiar with painting. (10 years of it)

setup myself, no one knows how to do it right for me..... i think that is the way it goes for most people

I often do my own and get a friend to double check me on my intonation just to be sure.
