My Name is Evan Gusar and I am the owner/operator and technician for Central Coast Guitar Services.
I Love Guitars and I have been playing for over 60 years. My mom bought me my first guitar when I was 7 years old. It was a Stella acoustic that cost about $25.00 I have been hooked ever since!
I am passionate about my own instruments and I will have the same passion in setting up your guitar.
If I can help you with a setup or other services please contact me and let me know what you have in mind.
At Central Coast Guitar Services we specialize in electric, acoustic and bass guitar setups.
included in a typical setup is the following:
1. Initial assessment, I will determine if the electronics are working properly by listening for any static or scratchiness. The pots will be sprayed if necessary.
2. I will then make a determination about strings. If new strings are requested they will be installed and stretched.
3. Tune-It lubricant will be applied to all of the areas where the strings are in contact with metal, the bridge and the nut.
4. Then general maintenance will be performed on your guitar, which consists of hand polishing the frets with 6 different grades of polishing pappers. The fretboard will then be conditioned restoring the natural beauty of the wood. The complete guitar will then be cleaned including those hard to reach places.
5. The neck will be adjusted by measuring the neck relief and adjusting the truss rod.
6. String height will be measured and adjusted to desired action. This will result in a guitar that is easier to play with more fluidity and less pain.
7. Intonation will be checked and adjusted to get the guitar dialed in and up to spec. This will help keep the guitar in tune through all octaves.
8. Finally, the guitar will be fine tuned a thorough cleaning will be performed.
Other services are also offered on a case by case basis.
