Hi, Just finished an acoustic build and put the strings on today, how long does it take to settle in as I am considering taking it to a pro tech I know for a proper set up. I am never that happy with my own set ups Should he do the initial set up? Or should I string it and leave it settle then take it to him? Cheers Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk |

Before you take it to someone else, give it a chance to settle in. Consider what might the setup need, then do it. That's the best way to learn and get better... |

Give it at least 48 hours to realize that is no longer a tree, but a musical instrument. |

Yes. Definately let it settle in for a week. Make sure the neck set, nut action, fretwork, and bridge placement/intonation are nominally in the right ballpark - at least in the range expected out of factory guitars. |
