Do any of these sound familiar?

Strings buzzing against the frets
poor neck relief or uneven frets
Hard to press the strings down
action is too high
In tune open, sharp at the 12th fret
intonation not set correctly
Goes out of tune at the lower frets
nut slots cut too high
Crackling when turning the knob
oxidised potentiometers
Grooves worn into the frets
worn frets — need levelling or replacing

Every one of these problems has a specific cause and a specific fix. No mystery — just measurement, the right tools, and experience.

How it works

01
Call or message.

Describe what's bothering you, even vaguely. "It just doesn't feel right" is enough to get started.

02
Bring the guitar.

Żernicka 24G, by appointment. Diagnosis on the spot, with you — I show the measurements and explain what they mean.

03
Quote before work.

You get a clear price and timeline. You decide. Nothing happens without your approval.

04
Pick it up and play.

Your guitar comes back tuned and checked. I'll tell you how to keep it that way.

FAQ

Typically 2–4 business days. Urgent cases — just ask, sometimes it's possible sooner.

Usually the cheap ones benefit the most. Budget instruments leave the factory set "by eye" and gain disproportionately from a proper setup.

No. Just tell me what's bothering you and how you play. We'll sort out the rest during the diagnosis.

Yes, shipped instruments are welcome. Call before sending — I'll tell you how to pack it so the neck survives the courier.

Whichever you want. The setup is done for a specific gauge — if you change gauge afterwards, the settings will drift.

Free when you book a service. Diagnosis only, without repair — 50 PLN.
