The Camshaft, aka 'End Pin'. Can't play without one..
And, what if the Neck is too thick and needs to be carved down for the player or the Neck is too weak and needs Graphite reinforcement rods and then a new FB. Would the Neck in itself be part of the set-up if it needs to be worked on?
Or, how about the Neck stand or pitch. If the Neck set causes the Bridge to be low or it is hard to Bow a 5 1/2" tall bridge with 1/2" string height and not hit the C-bouts, is correcting the Neck stand/Pitch/Bridge height factor part of the set-up or a Repair in itself?
So, where do we draw the line here between Set-up and Repair or alteration?
That, is the question!
Or, is Set-up in itself actually a Repair that doesn't require the Top to come off or a crack patched from the outside?
