Hardware repair/replacement: This includes fixing or replacing tuners, bridges, pickups, electronics, knobs, and other hardware components.
Cleaning and polishing: This involves cleaning the entire guitar to remove dirt, grime, and sweat buildup, and polishing the body and hardware to restore shine.
