I have a long list of prices for loads of specific operations and alwayd
leave the option open fpr me to adjust prices if I come across any
surptizes when I get the guitar open on my bench.
You never know what kind of work has been attempted by the guitar
owner or untrained and unskilled repairpeople before it was brought to
you.
If i open up a guitar, find that the work is going to take more time
than is normal due to problems presented by poor work done before, I
will always call the customer to get approval before doing ANY work.
If they choose to not have the initial repair done because the price had
to be adjusted to cover the surprizes, there is a standing fee of $25.00
for the time that I spent disassembling the guitars to inspect the parts in
question.
Remember, once you've removed covers or pickguards in order to get
to electronics and then have the customer opt away from having the work
done, you'll need to put everything back together and pull the stings bacl
to pitch so there is some time spent that you need to be compansated
for.
I always look for ways to minimize the cost of any work for the owner
of the guitar and also recommend whatever alternatives are available that
can cut costs for them.
