Question:

How much does it cost to make minor adjustments to a guitar?

im talking bout..
changing plastic...saddle and nut to a bone one.
and also the string pins to bone..

also, how do you lower the action on a guitar? like..wat would a luther do?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: If you pay for a "set-up" they can easily change the nut and saddle and adjust the action. You do it by carefully filing down the bottom of the saddle - and sometimes filing down the slots in the nut (special files). Set-ups where I used to work were $50. plus any materials. (probably more now) You can look at www.stewmac.com for prices on the parts.
