Why don’t Guitar Center setup and tune their guitars! (lemmy.world)

They would be much easier to sell. It can’t take that long for someone to run through and tweak and that had been messed up or drifted the prior day.

The setup will vary from player to player, but a basic standard setup should be done before it even goes on display. I just assume that the high action is covering up uneven frets.

It would be interesting to see a blind test of preference on a group of random guitars off the wall, and then again after a setup. The playable ones may just be setup better, rather than better instruments.
