Usebars For You Musician's...

No wonder so cheap, doesn't that mean the shipping is uninsured or under insured? Cause the shipping gets more expensive if the item is more expensive is because of the increased insurance coverage.

Sure the seller can under declare the value but if anything wrong with package, cry la.

At least ishibashi covers the insurance.

Hehehhe,

Not to worry also since a USD 300 bucks item only cost 15 USD insurance fee...And yes the more you insure...the more you have to pay...


Userbars Continues

Somebody please copy the userbars from the front page..... I'm too damn lazy...... Antonio.... you started the thread....... you do the clean up!

@btrix
u see my lp's inlay is ugly =( is not pearloid more like cheap plastic [yeah smack my head]
but this is my first baby so i want her to look as beautiful as possible

but according the epiphones site, its supposed to be pearloid macam kena con aihz....

@everdying
can u gimme an idea what top is my lp??
birdseye maple veneer ar? its the same top as the lp with the DR colored strings @ jamtank

Oh, just replace the current inlays with better quality one izzit, i thought you want some fancy inlay work which will need the whole fretboard replaced.

It can be done. If luthier can removed fretboard and stick it back what's a few inlays? Might still cost you RM300 to 500 though.

And yes, the earlier MIK Epi I habve came across have the Mother of Toiler Seats inlays. Really fugly.

Ironically, it is the China ones that have the really nice looking inlays.

And yes that is a bird eyes maple top. Looks scary to me though. Like lots of tiny little eyes looking at you.

if birdseye maple, means its a mid 90s epiphone MIK.

As I asked in the lase thread, where in Singapore can I find Jackson guitars?

oi my inlays like dat ok?? =(

yeah the top is abit scary sometimes
hahaha
dun care ler =p

@everdying
errr
is it a good thing? owh is it just a veneer or 1/4" cap ?? [lol i think i can forsee the answer lol ]

Thought its a quilted top? Or are they the same?

if it has those dots everywhere then its birdseye.

I tried one out in Woh Fatt, and while it still felt like an Epi, it sounded the closest to a Gibby out of all the Epis in there.

But I have to say, I 'couldn't get used' to that maple top.

Try heading to Bras Basah Complex or Peninsula Plaza. Both are near the City Hall MRT station and pack a whole lot of guitar shops. Should be able to find something there.

blacktrix, one of the shops in Peninsular Plaza should sell them. No guarantees though.

Re-fretting is rather expensive, I think you could try calling up Guitar Store or even Tham. Not sure how much they charge for re-frets though.

Blah.... I'm just looking for a V with a Floyd Rose....

I've been quite fond of the RR3....... but maybe I'll just get the standard King V with a Floyd......

Oooooooooooooh. I just spotted the Jackson RX10D Randy Rhodes Polka Dot Sharkfin V! http://www.zzounds.com/item--JAC2901400

Oooooh.... maybe a Jenna Jameson V! That would kick ass!!!!!!!

24 frets, neck thru, OFR, EMG 81 plus the kick ass shape

Thought you were holding out for a Wylde polka-dot 'V' signature?

I guess you can never have too many guitars . . .

Called Mr. Tham and also Woh Fatt,

Mr. Tham - Complete Re-Fret RM400
Woh Fatt - Charging by 'batang', 1 'batang' RM10
Bentley - Got Re-fret service but no for Les Paul.
Guitar Workshop - RM 350 Rosewood/ RM 380- RM400 Les Paul/Les Paul Custom

#This quote is based on a Les Paul Custom guitar.

Don't think I'd trust Woh Fatt to do a good job though.
