We professionally set up any guitar—electric, acoustic, or bass.
At Cranston Guitars, setups aren’t rushed. Every instrument is dialed in, played, and then revisited multiple times over the course of a few days. This allows the neck, strings, and hardware to settle so we can make precise adjustments that actually last—not just a quick “bench setup” that falls apart tomorrow.
There’s nothing worse than getting your guitar back from a shop and having it play great for a day… then slowly drift out. We do our best to eliminate that common issue.
Expect:
Whether you want buttery low action, better playability, or something dialed exactly to your playing style—we’ll get it right.
Full setups start at $60.
Fast turnaround available. No shortcuts. Fully tested multiple times before it leaves the shop.

We don’t just love Strats—we adore them.
Proper Instruments redefines the simplicity of Leo’s original design. Most Strats are muddy when the tone controls are below 7. Players just live with it—or add a treble bleed. That’s child’s play.
Proper Passive is built to be usable from 0–10—you can’t get a bad sound, even at bedroom volumes. 0 starts your journey—JM/BB-style. 10 delivers full SRV bite and presence.
Everything in between is there for the taking. All with no batteries or useless blender controls, Ever.
Setup, overhaul, or full restoration—we’ve got you.
Every guitar is different. We take the time to understand what you have and what you want before recommending anything.
No upsells. No guesswork. Just real guidance backed by experience.
For larger or specialty work, we partner with Boylan Guitars in Harrisville, RI—our community partner.
