Helping You Play Better!
Our goal is to help you play better! It doesn’t matter if your a beginner student or a seasoned axe player….we want to find your personal setup and tone WITH YOU!
Set-Ups
The setup is the first and one of the MOST important things you can do to your new or used guitar after you have chosen your guitar. A yearly setup / inspection by a professional is highly recommended by the manufacturer of the guitar you just got! Acoustic or electric…..it needs to be setup to suit you and your playing style. That’s how we’ve been doing it since day one!
Upgrades
Upgrading your guitars electronics is one of the best pathways to your tone goal! Even the USA made solid body guitars have electronics in them that leave you short. Tuners are yet another upgrade along with premium custom string sets and saddles & nuts. You can make a $100 guitar that you like the look, feel and neck sound and play like a $2000 guitar for a lot less than you might think when compared to the cost of the higher dollar guitar!
Repairs
From broken headstocks to cracked sides or tops we can repair most any instrument to a level that you are looking for. Some repairs must be done to match what can be afforded for the repair. We can hide the repair to the point of it not being noticeable or just repair it to working order and then perform some aesthetic work later down the road for you!
KickAxe Kustoms
KickAxe USA is able to hand build you custom premium cables with premium ends for you! We use Canare guitar cable and gold Neutrik ends. Got a pickup that may need rewinding or repair by hand….we’ve got 42PE wire or 42SPN wire to take care of it. Want your effects pedal housing dipped and clear coated….no problem! All of our parts that we stock are hand picked for their premium quality….that’s ALL we use for custom builds…PERIOD!
IMPORTANT Information
Want to know what you should have in your guitar case? Maybe what strings and why? Ever wonder why some guitar cables or ends are better than others? How about the what and why’s about potentiometers for your axe? Maybe tone caps are something you would like to know about. We don’t claim to know everything but we’ll give you an opinion based on many years of experience with all the above and then some on this page!
KickAxe Elektronics
What ever your electronics needs are for your axe, your pickups, cables, custom built effects, effects pedal upgrade installations, effects pedal repairs (if we can get a schematic for it) we can most likely repair it! We build effects pedals that are customized that we purchase from B.Y.O.C exclusively. We have found that their pedals are some of the best kits around and have built and customized dozens of them!
Electronics Information
We don’t have EVERY schematic available as most of us don’t….but….you may be able to get what ever information you need through either us or one of the sites that we have a link to. When we have a one off or a repair that we couldn’t find a schematic for…we’ll post a hand drawn schematic for all to see what we found! We hope to help someone out there that needs it through this page on the website!
