Which Guitar Setup Is Right for Me?

Not sure what your guitar needs?

You’re not alone.

Here’s a simple guide to help you choose the right setup based on how you play.

Every guitarist plays differently. That’s why Bayside Guitar Setups offers different setup options based on how you play, how often you play, and what you expect from your guitar.

Essential Setup

Best if you’ve just bought a new guitar, haven’t played in a while, or want a quick refresh. This covers the core playability adjustments so your guitar feels comfortable and in tune.

Bayside 13-Point Setup (Signature)

Our most popular option. Ideal for gigging musicians, regular players, or anyone who wants their guitar to feel inspiring and effortless. Includes cleaning, conditioning, fret polishing, fresh strings, and detailed fine-tuning.

Performance / Studio Setup

Designed for serious players, recording, touring, or problem guitars. This setup is tailored to your playing style, string gauge, tuning, and real-world use, with extended testing and optimisation.

Express Turnaround (24–48 Hours)
