I'm not sure what you mean by adjust your strings!. Is he making an adjustment for the intonation, is he lowering the action!?

I've always adjusted the action myself and my guitar repair guy said he wouldn't even charge me to make a truss rod adjustment!.

Anyways, 60 dollars kind of sounds hefty to me unless he's doing a lot of adjusting!. I just had my guitar refretted and tuners replaced and it cost me 120!.

I would say just change your own strings!. You can lower the action yourself!. If the intonation is off, I guess you can fix that yourself,by doing a bridge adjustment!.I've never done it and would probaly have it done by a luthier, while he was at, have him "tune it up" so to speak!.

But 60 dollars to change strings!.!.!.no, don't do that!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

well since in the additional info your getting your action ajusted it is higher than a usual string change, I pay $15 plus price of strings for my guitar at a local shop, but it does cost more when your messing with the action- so I wouldn't pay more than $40!. ever!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
