Setup for Acoustic Guitar - best place to go?

[world_domination]

Hi to all, Ive got an acoustic guitar, which needs a setup badly. The necks warped, the string heights too high, fretboards dry etc etc.
I would like to know, which guitar tech offers decent services at low prices?
And I live in Pasir Ris
thanks in advance

why dont you just tighten or loosen the truss yourself?
if the frets dry you can use dr ducks axwax it's really good whether your polishing it up but it should definetly solve your dry frey problem

I did consider that option yes, but ive got no experience with this sorta thing, dont wanna risk breaking anything lol

ohh hmm i would still recommend you to get dr duck axwax as it would be useful in a long run... but as for the truss rod issue , honestly you can find alot of vids on youtube plus its just tightening or loosening the screw.
but if you really wna send it for servicing hmm im not sure if there's any shops in the east but central has plentiful

depends what u mean by warped... if it's just bendin forward slightly it can be fixed easily..

if warped u mean twisted then its gonna be expensive anywhere u go...

maestro and luther do some fine work... not sure about prices though..

Maestro charges around 45 bucks for a setup...

My recommendation would be Jarvis. He's the true master of acoustic guitar setup.
He stays in Hougang . I send my acoustic for setup and installed with Fossilized Mammoth Ivory (FMI) saddle. Cost me abt $100 for the whole setup plus saddle. $22 more for setting up with Elixir strings Jarvis did more than what you're paying when you're talking about acoustic setup.
I don't think Jarvis post here but he goes by the nick 'Champion' at guitar4christ forum.
FYI, those saddle cost around $44USD from http://www.maurysmusic.com/inc/sdetail/7753
