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.

Description
The TC Electronic Fluorescence Shimmer Reverbpedal features a distinct type of reverb, shimmer, which is produced by adding a tail of reverb and pitching it up an octave over the original sound input. This creates a mesmerising bloom effect, or shimmer, that almost takes on a life of its own and sounds completely out of this world. The scope for experimentation is vast with an effect like this, with a stomp of your foot you can summon forth huge, atmospheric soundscapes to compliment a riff, sparkling with crystal clear brightness. It must be tried to be believed.
Originally pioneered by recording royalty Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno, then popularised more recently by big names like U2, the Fluorescence Shimmer Reverb is making big splashes on the guitar scene. A simple interface with 4 controls: Reverb, Mix, Tone and Shimmer makes it easy to get to grips with and further customise the sound you desire. The Reverb control adjusts how long the reverb affects your signal for, turn it down for short tails, up for long, expansive tails. The Mix control allows you to blend your original dry signal with the shimmer reverb effect to saturate or subtly tweak your sound as much as you wish. The Tone control adds sparkle to the mix, and the Shimmer control applies the octave side to the effect, max this out to fully pad out a soundscape with thick, ethereal overtones.
Additional features include True Bypass switching, to keep your signal path interference free when the pedal is off, and 'built like a tank' metal chassis to survive whatever you can throw at it, in practise or on the road!
The TC Electronic Fluorescence Shimmer Reverb could be your new secret weapon on stage, if your pedal board is missing something rather special for use in your performing or composing you have to give it a try.
Shimmer reverb, the ultimate 'Shoegaze' effect for celestial, out of this world sounds
Four controls: Reverb, Mix, Tone, Shimmer to heavily customise the effect
Top mounted Input and Output for easy inclusion in a pedal board
Preserves signal integrity with a True Bypass switch
Heavy duty 'built like a tank' construction to endure years of abuse even on the road
Powered by either 9v battery or PSU-SB DC power supply (sold separately)
