HOW THE WORKSHOP WORKS

BRING YOUR OWN GUITAR

This is a practical, hands-on workshop.

Rather than simply watching a demonstration, you'll work directly on your own electric guitar throughout the session. You'll learn how to inspect, measure and adjust your instrument while being guided through each stage of the setup process.

SMALL GROUP, PERSONAL GUIDANCE

With a maximum of 10 participants per session, the workshop is intentionally kept small.

This allows for individual guidance, hands-on instruction and the opportunity to ask questions as you work through your own guitar.

YOUR OWN SET OF TOOLS TO TAKE HOME

Every participant receives a dedicated guitar setup and maintenance tool kit to use throughout the workshop.

You'll learn how to use each tool correctly during the hands-on session, and the complete tool set is yours to take home after the workshop.

• String Action Gauge × 1

• Feeler Gauge Set × 1

• Guitar Nut Slot File Set × 1

• Fingerboard Radius Gauge Set × 1

• Neck Rest × 1

WHAT YOU'LL TAKE HOME

PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE

Understand what your guitar needs, how to identify common setup issues and why each adjustment matters.

HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE

Work directly on your own guitar throughout the workshop and gain the confidence to perform essential setup procedures yourself.

YOUR OWN TOOL KIT

Take home a complete set of essential guitar setup and maintenance tools, ready for you to continue practising and maintaining your instrument at home.

THE FRET & GRAIN DIFFERENCE

Learn from experience, not just instructions.

With more than 21 years of experience in guitar repair and setup, Fret & Grain Boot Camp is designed to teach the practical skills, measurements and thought process behind a proper guitar setup.

The goal isn't simply to show you which screws to turn.

It's to teach you how to assess your instrument, make informed adjustments and understand the results.

MORE THAN JUST A WORKSHOP

This is more than a 4.5-hour guitar setup class.

You'll learn how to inspect, measure, diagnose and set up your own guitar using a professional, methodical approach.

More importantly, you'll leave with the knowledge and tools to continue maintaining and fine-tuning your guitar long after the workshop ends.
