                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[In most larger metro areas, the good luthiers will be booked up with work from several stores. But there will be decent techs in most any store that can do a fair setup for. Just call up stores and tell them what you have and ask. Some will be same day, some will be a week. <br><br>Size has little to do with it. Larger stores are just as likely to have techs sitting around doing nothing as smaller stores are. And many smaller stores are out-sourcing their setup work to local luthiers. *shrug*]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[That generally depends on the store.  The smaller stores will probably be able to have it back to you the same day.  Depending on what they also have on the bench.   Living in a large metro area there are a few GC's within the area.  They have a guitar tech that travels around from one to the other.  The tech works 2 days a week in the one closest by.  Drop it off on Tuesday and MAYBE he can get it done that Wednesday or, if not, it will be done on Friday.  That's too long to wait in my book.  <br><br>Find a small local independantly owned, reputable, store that has been around a while.  They should be able to have it back the same day. <br><br>Mike]]></content:encoded>

It has the same ones on it that it came with. <br><br>I did check the bridge, as was suggested.  It sits snug against the body. <br><br>My plan is to take it into the guitar store sometime soon and have them do the adjustments to it.<br><br>Can you typically drop it off in the morning and pick it up that evening?  Or do they generally hang on to it for a few days?]]></content:encoded>
