Do u have a contact number for that place?

His shop is located at Subang Square issit??

I've once accidently went there and meet this ol timer Simon...he's cool...quite knowledgeable....and also nice to chat with...

my electric been use for 5 years some part are rusty and never repair before, the sounds was poor compare to when i newly bought it. i think its the tuning problem. How much do you guys think its take to repair ?
i heard some ppl say it cost hundred.

Depends on the severity of the condition. Best case scenario, just have to check your saddles and frets, change strings, polish off the parts..... Worse case... parts have to be replaced including the pickups, tuners..... the works....

But don't expect to pay anything less then RM50 just for even a checkup...... if it's the worse case scenario, then yeah........ could be RM100+++ or more.

This guitar was dropped from standing position, and landed on the side of its head, causing it to snap off. The broken part still fits properly as it is a clean break.

Question is, what is the best and most cost effective method of fixing this problem and restoring it back to usable condition? Is there anywhere in PJ area that can do these repairs?

Any help GREATLY appreciated

I'm afraid the headstock might be beyond repair. Maybe you could bring it to a guitar store nearby and ask?

that is not beyond repair.

since you say its a clean crack...
if you're confident, go get some proper wood glue.
just pour it in and wipe off any excess.
then you might have to clamp it so it lays flat.
then let it dry for about 2-3 days.

else i think tham in PJ should be able to do it, his number is somewhere in here, go search

really?
cant use super strong adhesive to glue back the part?

blacktrix, did u read that? coz ur RR3's head seem to keep dropping to the ground....

ahhh i dont think im confidant enough since its not mine
who is tham and where in PJ? kinda noob in this section cause its the first time im in here. pardon my noobness

er huh??

tham is some guy who obviously does repairs
where in PJ, sec5 lucky gardens i think its called, somewhere off jalan gasing.

haha deng pardon me
okay i found his number. anyway to show him the picture of the damage for him to determine whether it is fixable or not?

its fixable.
i've seen worse cracks.

just call him and see if hes willing to do it.

ok great. will try calling him tomorrow. hopefully he accepts calls on sunday
is there any1 i shud use as a referral?

just call, better try weekdays after lunch.

will do . thanks ALOT for your help. greatly appreciated. will hit the bed now, any other helps and advice i give my advance thanks

u are lucky enough to have it broke around tuning tab there... i have mine on the nut .... even if fix it's still comes with problem

OUCH...!!!
Hope you'll be able to get it fixed.

This break is hardly serious and should be an easy fix for any competent luthier like Tham or GG.

how much the luthiers charged us for broken head, neck etcetc?

did not manage to call him today as it keeps entering mail box
will try tomorrow

by any chance he comes online here or has an email?

also, how much would it cost approximately for fixing this problem?

edit : where is gg@klasika located btw?

u can try go for freeman guitars...i think the luthier is edward...somewhere around near kepong...

http://www.freemanguitars.com/repairshop.asp

kepong a lil too far for me, and i rarely go there, not familiar with the place
thanks for the suggestion tho

Please keep trying to call them and once you manage to get hold of either one of them, then ask for thier personal details (address and etc.)

Their contact number can be found at this thread, post number 3. Music Shops, Luthiers & Jamming/Recording Studios

The reason why they won't allow us to post thier personal details on the forum is because these guys are doing all these service on thier free will, which means they won't over-price you, but don't expect you call now, they answer and they attend to you tomolow.

Oh yea, it can be repaired, I have seen worse before .....

great advise, thanks
btw, may i know roughly where GG is located? PJ? KL? cause if its in PJ or around PJ, i can consider his services

thanks ^^

perhaps you didnt read my previous post properly...
i did say weekdays after lunch.

and GG is all the way in batu caves.

yeah my fault too kan chiong
will try tomorrow

GG too far . guess i have to rule him out. will try tham ^^
thanks peeps

Hi! help me plz. anyone know where to buy Ibanez neck. Model PGM 24 fret ( floyd rose). I need new one. Stock ada lagi tak?. How much?

Guitar necks are quite hard to order in. Your best bet is to look online......
Even that, you need to accurately measure the neck width and whatnot.

Why do you need to change the neck btw?

You might want to try contacting Bentley, since they're the local Ibanez distributor/dealer. But I'm not sure if they can get for you an Ibanez neck, since Ibanez is pretty strict with selling individual parts (especially necks) due to potential counterfeiting.

Oh, and you might want to refrain from posting this same message in so many threads...

Ok thanks. I'm new user don't know where to post my question. Actually my guitar have a neck problem after custom it. A little bit crack behind the first fret after 2 month i played. The neck can fix or not? I dont thing so. Thats why i'm looking for a new neck for my guitar but I really don't know where to buy it.

what you did to custom it?
and that crack behind the first fret is pretty common problem.
due to a combo of pencil thin necks and overtighten of locking nut.

So what should i do. Replace with the new neck? Expensive or not?. Any suggestion? Thanks.

if its only a small crack, why cannot fix?

i've seen worse.

Do you know where to repair it? I heard before GG can do. Do u know where the shop location?

Guys....is there anywhere that can adjust bass guitars? My neck is a bit bent which is causing this really crappy buzzing...

Pls contact this guitar tech : Mr Ng 013 3998065

i've been wondering for a while....i'm planning to change the pups on my SX LP copy soon. what other tweaking i can do to my guitar to get it to sound better. change the wirings? how does that help? apart from that?

Bring your guitar to edward from freemanguitars. he will solve your problem..0122842830

where do i bring my guitar for refinishing? lets say a simple color , white . and how much ? no GiGi please

the edward listed above your post can refinish too.
i just had one of mine refinished to black using nitro cellulose.
price depends on your guitar and where you want.
best you call him.

i think edward will charge around rm500 for refinishing a guitar, that will also depand on what paint material you are using.
