Does anyone here know of a good luthier who can actually do a good maintenance on the wiring and electronic set up of a Les Paul?

Also anyone know where I can find those spare parts for a Les Paul? Parts such as knobs, switches (Treble/Rhythem) and other accessories?

I heard of Woh Fatt but anywhere else besides them?

Thanks in advance smile.gif

We had a thread on this topic some time back.

Search Results for "luthiers"

I think those threads will help you out.

I think there are few of us here who send their guitars to him. He might have some spare parts ordered from Stew Mac so try giving him a call. smile.gif

Where is he located? I was planning on checking out Woh Fatt this Saturday and then head over to quite a number of guitar shops.

Bringing my Japanese friends to look for some guitars.

Jalan Gasing, just give him a ring before weekend. From what I've heard, he is a very reputable guitar tech. smile.gif

You can ask everdying or monny, they both have sent their guitars to him.

Thanks a lot mate! I've contacted Tham already and he asked me to bring it in at the end of next week. Guess he is pretty busy right now smile.gif

Want him to check the electrics of my electric guitar. See if there are any problems.

Cheers!

What is the crown you are referring to?
Can you see it from here?

how the top of the frets are shaped and its height from the fretboard.
i like the low height of those vintage thin frets, but the width of medium jumbos.
