Topic: Guitar set-up

Does any think that if I pay $40.00 for a guitar set-up it will make my guitar sound that much better?
I can get the plastic thing below the sound hole shaved down to lower the action too.

I have a Jasmine Takamine acoustic. It cost me about $120.  Any thoughts? I'd like some opinions before I spend the money.

THANKS!

Yeah that's a reasonable price. Advise the gtr tech that you think your bridge is a bit high. It could be that the truss rod needs a little turn. Let someone with experience and knowledge repair your guitar.

Give everything but up.

Absolutely, if fixed properly. After the repairs are complete try it out while you're in the store before you take it home. You should notice a great improvement in sound and playability.
