Hi Tim,

Thanks for getting in touch.

It's always great to hear of people enthusiastic about learning guitar.

Regarding the set up of your Yamaha, unfortunately we're just too busy 
here at the moment with our own guitars to take in any customer work. 
We've been directing our customers to John at Noiseworks in Coventry who 
is a fantastic luthier and will be able to do the work. You may have a 
wait a little while as he tends to be a busy man.....because he is good.

It is worth getting your guitar set up, even a very cheap guitar set up 
well and can play great and be much easier to learn on. Cost wise, your 
probably looking at around £50 for a full set up.

As and when you're ready for the next step up in level, please do get 
in touch and we will book you in for an appointment to make sure that 
the next guitar is the right one for you.

Kind Regards,
Harriet
