Guitar Maintenance And Setup

You shouldn’t have a guitar that’s hard to play!

Here is an in-depth, step-by-step course with Greg Voros on how to set up your guitar in your own home using a few easy-to-use tools.

Greg Voros, master luthier, has spent years working on guitars for the legendary George Gruhn of Gruhn’s Guitars. He’s been entrusted with the repair, restoration, and setup of guitars ranging in value from $100 to $250,000. He’ll share the skills and knowledge he’s picked up through his years of working on some of the most valuable instruments in the world.

George Gruhn knows more about guitars than anyone on earth,” says Tom Wheeler, former editor of Guitar Player magazine. That knowledge has made Gruhn Guitars the world’s most famous vintage instrument store and has brought George Gruhn worldwide recognition as an author of definitive books on vintage guitars, an innovative instrument and string designer, and a primary source for insight into the guitar market — past, present and future

Here’s what George Gruhn has to say about Greg:

“Greg makes it possible for me to deal in vintage instruments. I choose the instruments knowing that I will end up with a very good instrument because of the craftsmen in repair. Without Greg’s work I would not have instruments in saleable condition.”
