Well, that depends. You see, it's kinda like asking someone "How much would you charge to get my car running." You don't say if all you want is for the pedals and levers to be fine-tuned (presuming it was "close" and tuneable to start with), or if you possibly want changes in the basic setup. For instance, Day vs. Emmons, compensators and half-stops set, etc. I've have no problem helping some players get started this way for gratis - with a simple guitar in decent shape.

But then again, there are some who rely on this type of stuff to make a living, and they would probably charge accordingly with however much time it took, and what was involved. All guitars are not created equal, and many are hosed up by former (but well-intending) owners. Base rate might be $35-$50 an hour for the average guy. But some might charge more...considerably more, if problems were found, and they had to spend hours getting things right, or if they were a top-of-the-line pro.

I've heard of some pros charging $100-$200 an hour.
