This looks great. Met Matt a few times and he is an excellent skilled technician and nice guy.  It is however 350 for a 9-2 course.   I am cack handed and worry that its a little advanced what alternatives are there?

Seems a bit short on time at only 9am-2am

He lost my potential custom when he decided to put this on his website:

I'll help you get it setup to play like butter.... if not better.

I’d love to do that. I wouldn’t worry about the £350. It’s the extra cash you’ll spend when you hear a set of his PAFs while you’re there that makes it expensive

try his telecaster pickups as a remedy. That will put your wallet safely back into its holster.

The course is probably worth every penny. Many years ago I did a one day setup course with Robbie Gladwell who had a column in Guitarist magazine, the knowledge I gained from that course must have saved me a fortune over the years.

I've often thought about doing something like this. 

That particular course is too steep for me, though he seems to get good reviews here so probably worth it. 

But I just know as soon as I'm home and don't have someone experienced aiding me, nothing will escape my ability to fuck up or be beyond my skills to remedy. Lol.

If it’s something you can learn in 5 hours, the £50/setup cost will be a thing of the past and you’ll recoup that in no time, especially if you’ve got a few guitars!
