What kind of setup does Gianna Violins do on mandolins and guitars?
. We check the finish, truss rod adjustment, frets, fit of the bridge to the top, tightness of the tailpiece screws, tightness of the end pin, lubricate the tuners, check and adjust the action at nut and bridge. The mandolins are fitted out with appropriate strings and set with approximately 0.049″ clearance under the E strings and 0.062″ clearance under the G strings, measured at the 12th fret. We have no problem changing our basic setup on request. For an illustrated look at our setup see our setup page.
