Saline Guitar Factory Services: Your Trusted Partner for Guitar and Bass Care

When it comes to keeping your guitar or bass in top shape, you want a service provider who understands your instrument and treats it with care. At Saline Guitar Factory, we pride ourselves on being the go-to place in Washtenaw County for musicians who demand the best for their instruments. Whether you play electric, acoustic, or bass guitar, our expert team is here to help you maintain, repair, and upgrade your gear so it always sounds and plays its best.


Comprehensive Guitar and Bass Setup Services


A proper setup can transform your playing experience. At Saline Guitar Factory, we offer detailed setup services tailored to your instrument and playing style. This includes adjusting the truss rod, setting the string height (action), intonation, and pickup height. We also check the nut and saddle to ensure smooth playability and optimal tone.


For example, if your guitar buzzes on certain frets or feels uncomfortable to play, a setup can fix these issues quickly. We use precise tools and years of experience to make sure your instrument feels just right. Whether you prefer low action for fast playing or a higher setup for slide guitar, we customize every detail.


  • Truss rod adjustment for neck relief

  • String height and action setup

  • Intonation calibration for perfect tuning across the fretboard

  • Pickup height adjustment for balanced sound

Expert Repairs and Maintenance


Guitars and basses are delicate instruments that sometimes need repairs. We handle everything from broken headstocks and cracked bodies to electronics issues and worn frets. Our repair services ensure your instrument is restored to its best condition without compromising its tone or playability.


Common repairs we perform include:


  • Fret dressing and replacement

  • Electronics troubleshooting and soldering

  • Bridge and nut replacement

  • Structural repairs like cracks or loose parts


Regular maintenance is also key to keeping your instrument in shape. We recommend routine cleaning, fret polishing, and electronics checks to prevent problems before they start. Our team uses quality materials and parts to guarantee lasting results.

Customization and Upgrades


If you want to personalize your guitar or bass, we offer a range of customization options. From installing new pickups and tuning machines to refinishing and hardware upgrades, we help you create an instrument that matches your style and sound preferences.


Upgrading your guitar can improve tone, tuning stability, and playability. For example, swapping out stock pickups for boutique models can add clarity and punch. Upgrading tuners to locking machines makes string changes faster and keeps your guitar in tune longer.


We also provide custom wiring and electronics modifications, such as coil splitting or adding extra tone controls. Our team works closely with you to understand your goals and recommend the best solutions.


Sales of Quality Accessories and Parts


In addition to services, we stock a variety of accessories and parts to support your playing needs. Whether you need new strings, straps, picks, or cables, we have you covered. We also carry replacement parts like nuts, saddles, and tuning machines for DIY repairs or upgrades.


Our knowledgeable staff can help you choose the right accessories for your instrument and playing style. We focus on quality products that offer great value and durability.
