you guys with bolt-on necks complaining for wat.

just unbolt the neck then can fit anywhere

sorry lah... modern consumer mentality: I'd rather pay someone else to do it and let them take the risk... hehe...

But but but...
Local guitar techs don't have insurance!

there's always the threat of breach of contract what...

I know, but how would you ask that tech who damaged your guitar to pay you back?

with a parang.

haha... yup, that there be the tricky part... especially if you don't want to use a parang!

but, seriously, my best bet would be to give it to a guy I trust and who knows his stuff... and hope that nothing goes wrong!

...anyway, if anything goes wrong, at least the tech would be in a better position to minimize the damage... if I do it myself and things go screwy, I'd be dead man!

DIY lah!
If you screw it up, you can always ask yourself to pay yourself
Even better, ask him to tapau the rosak one and get a new one that's 10x the price!

7string FTW!! someone know where i get custom paintbrush done in kL? need to custom job on my 7axe body..

Try those airbrush shops that does paint jobs for cars/bikes?
They can paint practically anything.
There's a few quite famous in PJ area.

hmmm..i don't think its hard to get a guitar tech to pay for your damages..

guitar tech basically survive by reputation.

once they fvck with you , go complain in LYN / JAMTAMK / I-BANDS..

whoops..there goes 80% of their income

not really.
some are still really thick skinned, who are still somewhat in business.

like a certain one in subang SS15.

Care to drop any names?
I stay nearby here, wouldn't want to be tipu-ed if I ever wanted to seek a service of a guitar tech...
If posting out on the open forum seems like not a good thing to do, please PM me...
Thanks!

maybe around 1.4lower lar. . . wont pass the 1.5 threshold i guess.. . since before tax and stuff it costs around 900.. .

and ermm you talking about the dude in the Subang Square 2nd floor? the "amp" pro?

and correct me if i'm wrong. . .but even if they can paint anything. . .wouldn't a particular skill be needed to do guitar bodies. . .

I don't really think so. Bodies of bikes and cars have more curves than a guitar. So technically, a bike/car would be in fact harder to air-brush.

hmmm ic ic. . . but bikes all have metal body wo. . . ours wood. . . if the paint has diff chemicals later the wood ko how?

mayb should go find one pro and ask them. . . but i don't trrust Malaysians. . . apa pun boleh. . . lolz

PRS uses car paint on some of their guitars.
And seriously, the air-brush shops in Malaysia are really good.

They'll usually add a base coat, then only air-brush on top of it.

I think I know who you guys are talking about... Thanks for the heads up!

IIRC there's a guy in Shah Alam (Alam Sentral or something) that supposedly does custom guitar paint jobs... not sure tho, remember reading sumthin like that in jamtank...

If the guitar tech do any shit to your guitar u mark down the price lah.. Or just pass the word around lah if he doesn't want to compensate. He's responsible kan if any shit happens..

soon guitar techs will have notices like in carparks.

management will not be held responsible for any loss or injury etc etc
