Make sure the bridge is where it needs to be for proper intonation and fit it to the instrument (using sand paper of course). Put decent strings on the instrument-the factory ones are #. Chances are the nut will be plastic-replace it with a bone one and you are pretty much set for life. I usually set my own instruments up so it is not a big deal to me. I do not know if it is because the dealers they have don't know how to do various set ups or not. Any Morgan Monore instrument I have EVER played needed a set up. Morgans tend to get slammed by "instrument snobs" who unless the instrument has a major name attached to the peghead or a custom builder's they put it down. I am a banjo player first and foremost and my main banjo is a Morgan Monroe.
