It’s a new year, and unless we make some effort to change, we’re the same people we were before. My goals for this year include paying off a bunch of debt (at least one credit card, one business loan, and hopefully a second business loan), rearranging my workspace for greater efficiency, and getting back into regular cardio and strength training. I’m not trying to be a superhero. I’m just trying to move closer to what I imagine a good life might look like.


Last year, I made an effort to do more of my own bicycle repair and service. It wasn’t to save money. I just wanted to acquire some basic knowledge that could help me in a pinch. Some people won’t even change a bike tire, and I’m sure they’ve got their reasons. For me, though, there’s a feeling of empowerment that comes with knowing I can solve a problem. Not a single one of us is truly independent, but it sure feels good to be less dependent on others. Nowadays, I feel safer while on long rides, because I can adjust brakes and derailleurs (the shifty thingies), change or plug a tire, and generally solve problems.


If you get the same good feelings from learning new skills, I invite you to join me for a guitar setup and maintenance workshop this year. During the workshop, you’ll learn how to assess a guitar or bass, determine which adjustments should be made, and the proper order of operations for a regular setup. You’ll also learn a bit about the instrument’s geometry, and how the different parts of the guitar interact to achieve maximum fun.


This class is a prerequisite for the upcoming Fretwork Class, Guitar Wiring Class, and Kit Guitar Class. It's only the first step in your journey, but it's an important one!

NOTES:

For classes, I DO accept out of towners.

Bring your own guitar. Must be a hardtail guitar or bass (Tele, Les Paul, Precision Bass, Jazz Bass, etc). We'll cover basic vibrato adjustment concepts, but working on them in class would slow things down too much.

Bring a tuner with you. It can be a clip-on or a plug-in tuner.

If you play anything other than D'Addario EXL110 or EJ16 strings, bring two sets of your preferred string.

What my clients are saying:

"Nate is a great guitar tech. He has set up hundreds of guitars for us, and has a keen eye for all the details.The best tech in the Eugene area!" - Hank, via Google

"This is the most welcoming and helpful shop I've been to in town. I had them ream the bridge of my acoustic guitar for new bridge pins and they did a fantastic job at a very reasonable price. If you want to steer clear of the guitar snobs and chain stores, this is absolutely your place." - Jared, via Google

"Nate took care of my 78 RD like it was a newborn. Stainless steel refret, gutted and replaced electronics with one of the most professional wiring/wire management jobs i've ever seen. He's great and deserves all of your money." - Tyler, via Google
