Professional Setup (Please read)

Thanks for visiting IndianaGuitarman.com. All instruments that we sell go thru a Professional setup process.  We do this for free when most companys charge $25.00 to $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 increadable setup work.  They first, if not in house, drive down to SHS International (Morgan Monroe-Indiana Guitar Company-Bean Blossom and SHS Audio lines) and hand picks your instrument. This insures you get the best SHS International has to offer. This also makes sure our professionals start out with great product.
