10% Student Discount for those actively taking Lessons
If you’re taking guitar lessons — or paying for your child’s lessons — you deserve a break. Bandit Guitar Repair offers 10% off all services for active students who can show proof of recent lessons or online learning.
Learning guitar is tough enough. Fighting with a guitar that’s “hard to play” shouldn’t be part of it. A proper setup can make a huge difference in your progress and enjoyment.
How to qualify:
Show a receipt or proof of lessons from a teacher, studio, or online service dated within the past 60 days.
Applies to all service work (not parts).
Valid for private, group, or online lessons — any method of learning counts.
Did You Know?
Most new guitars aren’t set up to play well right out of the box.
Manufacturers like Fender, Martin, Taylor, and Gibson set guitars to factory specs, which aim for “no buzz” rather than “comfortable to play.” Here’s why:
Store demos: Guitars that buzz lose sales immediately. So factories keep the string height high enough to avoid it — even if it makes the guitar harder to play.
Shipping climates: Factories can’t predict humidity and temperature changes during transit. They leave the action high so it’s less likely to drop and start buzzing.
Bonus tip:
I guesstimate that 98% of retailers never adjust new guitars after they arrive. They just hang and sell them as-is.
If your new guitar feels stiff or hard to play, it’s probably one of those. Bring it in — we’ll get it dialed in for your playing style.
