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.

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.

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.
