String Changes
We strongly recommend that you change your strings yourself. It's a great skill to have and will improve your understanding of your instrument.
We have the following string-changing guides available for you:
Acoustic (Steel String) Guitars
Classical (Nylon String) Guitars
Fixed Bridge Electric Guitars
Standard Trem Electric Guitars
Violins
Floyd Rose Style Floating Trems
If you still need a hand, we can help you out when you visit our Sydney showroom:

Acoustic (steel string), fixed bridge electric guitars, and standard trem electric guitars | $40 + the price of new strings | One Business Day |

Repairs
Artist Guitars does not handle repairs in-house. If your Artist Guitars instrument is under warranty, we will gladly facilitate the repair on your behalf (and at no charge).
If your instrument is not under warranty (or if it's not an Artist Guitars product), we can refer you to some of our trusted local professionals around the Sydney area. Unfortunately, we will not be able to facilitate these repairs.

Guitar Setups
Artist Guitars come with a standard factory setup. Any further setup would be based on your personal preferences, and we do not handle this at Artist Guitars.
For adjustments of truss-rods, bridges, saddles, and nuts, or for fret dresses etc. we recommend you speak to our local Sydney guitar repairer.
