BadMonkey MusicTM guitar repair questions

Quick answers about setup prices, strings, pickups, fretwork, appointments, bass service and contact preferences.

Do I need an appointment?

Text or use the repair intake form first. It helps avoid missed connections and gives the shop the basic information before the instrument comes in.

Are strings included in setup prices?

No. Setup pricing does not include strings unless specifically stated.

What is included in a setup?

A complete setup may include tuner tightening/lubing, fingerboard cleaning, fret polish, neck adjustment, nut/saddle attention, action, intonation, body detail and electronics cleaning/lubing where appropriate.

Do you install pickups I already bought?

Yes, standard electric pickup remove/replace is listed at $40 each, with custom wiring by estimate.

What if my guitar needs more than a setup?

You will be told before deeper work starts. Fretwork, nut replacement, bridge work, cracks and custom projects are handled by inspection and estimate.

Do you work on basses?

Yes. Six-string electric/bass setup pricing is listed at $70, and bass service can include setup, electronics and hardware troubleshooting.

Do you repair amps?

Select amp-related work may be possible, but contact first. Include make, model and symptoms before bringing an amp in.

Where are you located?

BadMonkey MusicTM is based in Ashby, Massachusetts. Text is preferred for contact.
