finding a good set-up tech.

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi guys.

I play a MTD K5 and after owning her and playing her for about 8 years, I think she needs a good set-up. The neck has a noticeable bow and lots of frets are buzzing now, including some of the lower frets like 3rd and 5th.

I don't wanna take risk by taking it to a some random tech. Any tips on finding a good tech.????

Try John Carruthers in Venice, CA. Check out his client list. He is the favorite with the L.A. studio and touring pros.
