just wondering if any of u here know any guitar tech that can do full servicing on my LP gibson and toogle switch replacement..from malacca or KL ..

there is one guy that my fren introduced to me..Mr Tham from jln gasing..

went to WOH FATT and Guitar colection (mid valley)..they did not do a good job..

THANKS YA guys ~~

Tham is a highly recommend Luthier here in our board.
He's work and finish is excellent, and very knowledgeable.

DO NOT give Bentley your pride and joy though. Had quite a few horror stories from that.

Also, if you can catch him, the guitar "hospital" in SMX in Times Square is also very good.

Tham is the man you're looking for. He's got very good workmanship, attention to details etc. ...and plus, his workroom looks damn pro, climate-controlled and all...

climate is controlled via PC mobo fan powered aircon.
if u do visit him, go chk it out.

Holy crap,a Malaccan who has a Gibson,woot!
Anyway,you can try going to Daniel's in Melaka Raya,I sent my guitar to him for servicing,and I'm satisfied with his work.

i sent my epi to city music at melaka for switch replacing.

^That young blurry guy repaired it right?I don't really trust him,I sent my guitar to set the action,and ended up having it buzzing like hell.

+1

Sent my RG for a setup back when i was a noob, came back just the same with not much difference. The only thing he did was add another spring for the trem, which i could have just did myself, except i thought there was more to it at that time.

Worse part, he charged me RM150. I was like crazy mad and was arguing with him. He told me he redid the wiring and all that. What on earth could be wrong with the wiring on a brand new guitar?! It sounded perfect, no hums or anything. Then he reduced the price to RM100 and told me not to come back. As if i'm going to anyway.

Trust me dude, if you own a Gibson LP, you're better off sending it to Tham, but dun be surprised if he charges around RM200-RM300, that's the professional rate in KL, and since you own an LP you should pay the professionals. I wouldn't recommend sending it to Daniels though, like I said before it's and LP, anyone can setup a guitar, but it takes a pro to set it up good and proper. There's also another place you can try, Guitar Collection (or was that Guitar Store) in Hartamas, look for this guy called Fadzly. Personally, I haven't sent it to him before, but I've heard a lot of good feedback from guys who have.

Cheers;
Chris.

Yeah... Fadzly setup my Epi LP and installed the EMG 81/85 for me. VERY good job, plus he added in a battery holder for no extra cost!

All together about RM150 for the installation of the EMGs and change the setup to accommodate the thicker strings I added in (The ZW Heavy Boomers, what else?? .60 gauge is NOTHING to be messed around with)....

alrite guys..thanks for the wonderful comments..really appreciate that ..just contacted mr.tham..going to do full servicing on my Lp..it's goona take bout a week..stop music for bout 5 years liow..one of my icom mate introduced me to him..

malacca guitar store really cannot pakai la..fix strings can la..

fix string can sendiri do la

yeap..but what they can do nicely for u is only fixing strings lor..easy stuff..

malacca music shops all cannot pakai la..not much choice..if u r mat rempit can la..

fixing strings also they overcharge, a buddy of mine wanted to send his ibanez pgm in to have the strings changed, he didn't know how to do it because it had a floating trem and we all know how time consuming that can be, and they wanted to charge him 60-80 bucks just to change strings, i mean, what kinda bollocks.

whoa! crazy. maybe i should open up a shop that does guitar string change

if not mistaken ppl in KL charge RM80-130+ for changing strings on a floyd guitar.
good thing i setup all my own guitars

^
places i know charge rm20-30

RM80-130?
any1 has floyd guitar nid me change string?
50bucks enuff.

haha..never had a floyd rose !!! must get one..stop music for some years liow man..hand also karat liow..need WD-40..

i own a epi sheraton II and a lp classic..any of u guys from mlc now ??

dude, isnt the pgm hardtail??

got 2 type.
pgm300 is ibanez edge3 bridge.
pgm301 is hardtail bridge, if i'm not mistaken.

to TS, i'm from MLK.

me too~

Bro, i think you're mistaken there's, one is the PGM3, and the other the PGM301, and the sad part of the PGM3, the new PGM3 are fitted with the EdgeIII bridge but the other one's were fitted with the ILT1 bridge and that's a real bullshit bridge. It's damn unstable. In short, do not buy the PGM3, save up and get the PGM301. Hehe.

but pgm301 is soooo overpriced. (i'm not saying pgm3 is not overpriced.)
if i really wan a paul gilbert's sig, i'd buy pgm3 n change it to hardtail bridge or a OFR.
