If permanent problems are apparent some electronic components will need replacing at further cost. If it's an electric or has a pickup we plug it in and check the electronics, the pots and input socket for scratches or crackling, we use a specialist spray to clean them out. Care is taken to hand stretch and wind the strings correctly around the machine heads, this stabilises the tension and keeps tuning accurate. After restringing we check the action (string height) and intonation (harmonics) using a combination of truss rod and bridge saddle height adjustments also checking that the nut is cut according to string guage with the correct string pitch (angle) and clearance. If the board is particularly dry we may rectify this with a touch of lemon oil.
