    Setup is 50 euro
    Pots + Install maybe 15/20 euro.

    Give them a bell and get a rough quote is probably your best bet!

    hey i know this is a bit of thread necromancy but i just had me Epiphone Wildkat Z_ecommerce_Epiphone%20Wildkat.jpg set up in the Music Outlet http://www.themusicoutlet.ie/ in Swords, when i got the guitar from GAK.co.uk it was so badly set up as to be almost unplayable the first 3 frets on all strings buzzed like a hive of angry bees :)

    as i live in north county dublin i didnt want to travel over to xmusic, the set up was done while i waited the chap behind the counter, Niall, was friendly, knew his stuff and the prices were really competitive, e.g pedals about 12 to 13 euro cheaper than xmusic etc, and a 2nd hand tele there with custom pickups about 250 cheaper than a standard one i played recently in town.

    The setup also cost less than any other i've been quoted and has been done perfectly.

    Well worth a visit

    indeed - the guy in music outlet did it for 15.

    50 euro is a bit mad.
