Guitar Setup / Repair Question

    Hi ,

    Just wondering can anyone recommend someone to do a decent job on setting up a guitar (action / intonation and some small damage repair (small indentations on rear of body) .

    Preferably someone that knows a lot about floating trems and can achieve the best possible action without sacrificing too much on tone . The guitar is an Ibanez JS1000 (http://www.ibanez.co.jp/eg_page.php?AREA_ID=3&PAGE_ID=512&COLOR=CL01&MODEL_NO=JS1000)

    I have done a pretty good job initially on setting this up myself (been playing for 20 yrs now so am fairly confident with setups) but I would love to have a pro do a proper job on her.

    I am living in Munster so would prefer someone in the Limerick / Cork / Galway area for example .

    Thanks guys ,
    Kiel

    Yes, Marcus is excellant and a really nice guy , but he specialises in Acoustic guitars really and not electric guitar setup .

    I never knew that. But he did an excellent setup job on my friend's Washburn, that's got a Floyd Rose trem on it.

    Well, i am only going on what he told me before (a few years ago now ) but he has done work on my acoustics and some wiring on one of my Strats but as far as setting up an electric guitar for optimum playing performance , i dont think thats his 'cup of tea'

    He is definately reliable though and I would recommend him to anyone looking for instrument repair etc
