any idea where to go just for wiring ???
guitar suddenly died on me 1 mth after changing pickups

[BlackMoo]

Wiring jobs shoulden't be expensive at all!

any good place to recommend ??

i mean ... like ... i dun wanna have to wait 1 1/2 mths before getting my guitar back ~
Dat's how long it to when i sent my bass in for setup ..~

 

[BlackMoo]

Well I had a good experience at Davis. I sent my guitar in to swap pickups.
They told me to come back in 3 days.
But later that afternoon, they called me and said its ready. Its a saturday too.

i went to sweelee BB and the guy kindly lowered my action...FOR FREE! and he even taught me how to change the strings on a flyod rose for a first timer. i dunno why but maybe because i had an ibanez which i bought from them...

 

[echoist]

[tany]

i forgot the name but he was some real kind malay guy with specs. went around last year...

Guitar Connection!
it's the shop down the little slope from davis. the one with the strat collection room.
my friend's friend sent his guitar there, for $50, they do everything for you, including changing the guitar warp, new strings, intonation, etc etc. all in an hour. and my friend says after service the playability is incredible. do try! :lol:

yea i had a bad experience there as well, went with a friend to get his semi-acous repaired, the guy quoted 120 which was way above my friend's budget so we told him we would look around first
guess what he said to his colleague, "orh they wanna go shopping"
never went back there again
f**ked up attitude
