Personalised multi-point setup included

Before dispatch, your instrument will be treated to a full setup. That's not a quick tweak, but a full multi-point setup by an experienced guitar technician who will check and adjust every single thing on your guitar, bass, ukulele or banjo to ensure it is performing at its absolute best.

This is not a quick process but we believe every instrument should go through our process to acheive an exacting standard of playability.

Frets

We start with the frets on your instrument. All guitar necks move and change over time so we will make sure that your frets are nice and flat as we go up the neck. We don't want any high or low spots as this will mean your guitar will need a higher than optimum action and potentially suffer with fret buzz.

We check and properly profile the playing surface of the frets and then make sure the fret ends are finished off properly. The fret is then polished to ensure smooth string bending.

Truss Rod

Then it's on to the truss rod. This metal rod differs from guitar to guitar (some guitars such as classical guitars don't usually have a truss rod!) and basically controls the "relief" or curve of the neck. Not enough relief and your strings won't have enough clearance over the other frets when playing. Too much relief and you'll have a high action which gets worse as you go up the neck.

The heavier the strings then the more the truss rod needs to work. Proper adjustment in the workshop means that the action will be just right for the strings fitted to your guitar.

Top Nut

The top nut is super important and is one of the two open contact points of your guitar. The technician will check and cut each slot to make sure the strings both run freely but are not sitting in a slot that's too big.

The top nut also plays a big part in the action of your guitar so we'll hit that sweet spot between too low and too high.

Saddle(s)

Another really important part of your guitar!

On an acoustic, the saddle is cut to the correct height making sure the bottom is 100% flat and straight. This means the string can transfer its vibration properly into the body of your guitar.

For electric guitars, the saddles are adjusted to ensure your intonation is perfect. We will also match the saddles to the radius of your fretboard.

Bridge / Tremolo

The bridge affects the break angle and string height of your guitar and is also responsible for holding your saddles.

For a guitar with a Floyd Rose tremolo system or similar, the spring tension has to be just right to allow the tremolo to return to its "zero point" and keep everything in tune.

For guitars with standard tremolos, we can set it to float and be used both up or down like a true tremolo or we can lock the trem block back so the tremolo will only go downwards.... the choice is yours!

Intonation

Intonation is the measure of how in-tune the guitar string is across the length of the fretboard and a guitar with badly set intonation will get more and more out of tune as the string is shortened when you play.

Tiny adjustments are made to each string where applicable to adjust its length and ensure that the intonation is set just right.

Overall Action

Once all the above has been completed, the guitar is checked for playability and fine adjustments are made. This step brings everything together and means your guitar will be set up optimally.

Machine Heads

Every machine head is operated and checked for function. We need to ensure that the machine heads operate smoothly.

Electrics

All the functions of your guitar are checked to ensure everything is working as intended.

For acoustic guitars we will check the functions of the EQ system and controls as weel as check the internal cabling and jack socket.

For electric guitars, all the pickups are checked for function and tonal response. All controls and switches are operated to ensure they are functioning properly. The jack socket is checked.

Other Parts

All other parts such as strap pins, bushings, tuning buttons etc are fully checked.

Dispatch

All our instruments get the same premium treatment wether you purchase online or instore.

If you have purchased online, your guitar will be carefully packed ready for dispatch. You will receive a tracking link via email.

Happy playing :)

Description

A Diago Tourman Pedal Board is the most convenient way to organise, protect and transport your effects pedals.

How does it all go together?
Not that it's complex, but it does warrant an explanation. One half of the case is the low-profile pedalboard itself; the other half is a removable quick-release, protective lid.

Pedals (and power supplies etc.) are fixed to the Velcro 'loop' covered pedalboard using industrial grade sticky backed Velcro 'hook' strips, so they can be positioned - and repositioned - easily anywhere on the board, in any orientation. The Velcro is tough too - thieving buggers won't be able to steal your pedals without you noticing - turn the board upside down and shake it; the pedals don't budge an inch. A decent roll of 25mm wide, industrial grade, sticky backed Velcro hook strip is included with every pedalboard.

The lid is lined with foam to gently hold the top of any taller pedals and attaches/detaches using quick release hinges at the back of the board. As the lid is closed the hinges hook around each other, locking the lid and board together. To give you an idea of size, the Gigman is about the size of a briefcase, and the Tourman is about the same size as an electric guitar case.

Our boards are constructed from 1/2" eastern plywood which is rigid, light and durable with a strong, through-bolted amp style carrying handle.

Diago Pedal Boards

Protection Our hardcase type design protects your gear, but doesn't cost or weigh a ton like a fully flightcased board and case would. Soft cases? So a soft case is going to protect your pedals? Yeah, right, who are you trying to kid? It's the same reason you use a hard case instead of gig bag for your guitar........didn't you?!

Quality Our pedal boards are made from 1/2" eastern plywood, covered in a really attractive and durable black polyweave cloth. Good quality hardware is used throughout, with extra touches such as steel corner strengtheners in the lid and a through-bolted, amp style handle. The guys who put these together have over 20 years experience of building flightcases too.

Design It does what you need it to; nothing more, nothing less. Why do you need an effects loop on the board? OK, let's plug the output of my last pedal in to a box with a jack on it, so that I can plug my amp in to that....what's that all about? More features does not mean better....

Flexibility Put whatever you like, wherever you like. All of our pedalboards are ideal for holding compact stomp effects, multi-effects, power supplies, wahs, volume pedals, channel switches, A/B boxes.........in fact any combination of these, just so long as it all fits.
