[The-Warlord]

Please post productively.



baker, can be more specific? Peeps will be able to hlp better then.

 

[baker]

well, a small part of the headstock chipped off. it's like this small part of wood came off n a corner is like smashed. nothing extremely serious lar.
really appreciate all the help, guys.[/img]

is that a LP? part of the binding is out from what i can see, no idea whether that would have an adverse effect on the construction.

 

[Lifehouse]

Looks like a chip. Do you have the part that is sheared of? You kinda sheared off the headstock binding. I don't think it will affect your tone in anyway however.

 

[baker]

yea, its a LP copy n i still have the piece. is there like a place i can send it for repair? any idea how much it'll cost? btw, i really appreciate all the help.

 

[strats]

no idea what you can do about that, you can try contacting a luthier. either GC or Malcolm would do a good work.

 

[baker]

alright. thanks alot, man!!

 

[tany]

yes at bukit timah plaza. but that's luthier. luther is at peninsular

 

[strats]

heck no. a luthier is someone who makes/repairs guitais, or any stringed instrument for that matter.

 

[baker]

haha. ok i'm confused. so do i go to luthier or luther?

 

[tany]

... he's talking about the shop i guess? hahah i'm waiting for some ppl to advertise luthiers (not the shop, the ppl )

 

[ShredCow]

heck no. a luthier is someone who makes/repairs guitais, or any stringed instrument for that matter.

Just to add on. I believe we should not take the term "Luthier" lightly... Its like calling someone a Doctor. Its a title, something that has to have a ton of work/study/experience before you can attain that title. A master who understands woodwork and can fashion an fantastic instrument for music out of plain wood.

 

[baker]

ok, i guess i'll go check out the shop then. btw, how can i contact GC and Malcolm?

 

[imsuchajoker]

Malcom from www.mtlutherie.com

GC:+65 6339 0606
Look for KC hes the man

Dunno if Malcolm will object to my posting of his number, but I think he's a great guy and sets up guits really well. I've had my EBMM set up by him, and I took my custom Maton to him to have a look at as well.

He's also cool to talk with on pedals and mods and boutique stuff.

edit: sorry, was told to take Malcolm's number off... just visit his site and email him. He will get back to you.

Sorry for the newbie error...
