Maintenance & Repairs

- Neck AdjustmentThough classical guitars don't usually have truss rods, checking for neck warping or alignment is crucial to maintain proper action.
- Fret Leveling and PolishingOver time, frets can become uneven or worn, causing buzzing. Leveling and polishing improves playability and tone.
- Nut/Saddle Replacement or AdjustmentThe nut and saddle affect string height and intonation. Worn or poorly shaped components can cause buzzing or tuning issues.
