Thanks for visiting IndianaGuitarman.com. All instruments that we sell go thru a Professional setup process.  We do this for free when most companies charge around $50.00 dollars extra for it. Never buy a stringed instrument without it being setup. This process is absolutely necessary on all stringed instruments. Before you buy ask if the instrument will come already Professionally setup. We have two luthier's and professional musicians that do incredible setup work.   Setting up an instrument can be a timely process. Our Luthiers take great pride in sending you the very best instrument. So there are times when it may take a little longer than normal. We might have to send the instrument back to the manufacture to get the one we want. This insures you get the very best and the instrument you are paying your hard earned money for.

 If you need the instrument quick and can set it up yourself then tell us and we will drop ship the instrument. Reducing the total cost depending on the instrument..
