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 well 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 whether 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

The Mapex Armory Series 22" Rock Shell Pack brings professional-level performance to an accessible price point, providing a complete configuration designed for the studio and the stage. This five-piece configuration combines meticulously chosen tonewoods with advanced hardware advancements to enhance structural resonance and low-end response. Built for drummers who require reliability and clear acoustic projection during intense playing sessions, this kit provides an outstanding foundation for your acoustic setup.

Please note that this is a shell pack only. This set includes the five drums and a tom holder. Cymbals and standing hardware are not included. Image for display purpose only.

Hybrid Shell Construction

The core of this shell pack lies in its multi-ply construction, utilizing Mapex Hybrid Technology. Each shell is built with a six-ply, 0.7 cm blend of birch and maple woods. This specific combination produces a refined balance of tonal resonance and direct punch, giving your playing a clear presence in a live mix or a studio recording environment. The outer layer benefits from premium wood veneers protected by a high-gloss lacquer finish that emphasizes the natural wood grain.

SONIClear Bearing Edge Technology

A central design development included across the collection is the specialised bearing edge design. This profile allows the drumhead to sit completely flat against the shell, maximizing physical contact and improving structural vibration. This results in a clearer fundamental pitch, increased sustain, and a much wider tuning range, making it significantly easier to get the exact tone you need.

Advanced Resonance Hardware

To preserve the natural vibration of the hybrid wood, this shell pack is equipped with isolated suspension mounts on the rack toms and dedicated feet for the floor tom. These components prevent mechanical hardware from damping the natural resonance of the wood, increasing overall body and low-end response. The bass drum also utilizes an undrilled design, leaving the shell fully intact for a deeper, more powerful acoustic character, while insulated claws protect the wooden hoops from damage.

Included Tomahawk Snare Drum

Completing this setup is the specialized snare drum, constructed with a 0.1 cm steel shell. This drum provides penetrating accuracy and long-range projection, making it highly effective for cutting through dense musical arrangements. The steel construction produces a focused, powerful rim shot and an exceptionally crisp articulate response across all dynamic ranges.

TH676 Double Tom Holder

The TH676 double tom holder featured in the 2025 Armory Series, allows easy adjustment of rack tom angles, offering improved stability and a more consistent setup for drummers.
