In a week I'm Getting a Lakland Skyline Joe Osborn 4, and I'm just wondering if I should pay the extra 50$ to have it set up with strings, or if i should just change the strings myself and do a setup?

When I received my JO5 I immediately restrung it with La bella Deep Talking flats and made the necessary adjustments. It is really quite simple but it depends on how comfortable you feel working on the instrument and how adept you are with tools. I am a certifed Harley mechanic, a gun smith and registered mechanical engineer so maybe I had an advantage.
