yea man. you wld really learn a lot if you DIY. the first time i rewired my guitar it turned out right. ujust gota follow the manual and wiring diagrams closely. and if your buying 2nd hand, theres always manuals n diagrams online. so if you've got the time it'll be gd to DIY.
and yea, i think luthers is like the most trustworthy n friendly place to go.
Re: Luther or Davis
Guitar connection is also a viable solution.
when i first got my strat , it had lace holygrails in em. the tone knobs and playing action was really "off" --> brought it to GC , apparently they were very busy ... as usual... and kelvin and kc kindly did my guitar first , as i was in a hurry and i needed my guitar. They also charged me a "very" reasonable price.
tested the guitar in the store , it worked gd .. brought it home and few days later the tone knob was wonky again and my action started buzzing.
this is just to clarify what i meant by my "unsatisfactory experience" with GC.
i decided i hated the low output of the lace holygrails anyway and blew a load on a set of dimarzios - brought it down to GC and they installed the pickups , fixed the tone knob and got my action nice once again.
( My strat still works fine till today )
They do take responsibility for their work and kelvin and KC are nice guys to boot.
-=sorry if i made you guys sound like bad people with my one liner=-

no this other one is for Luther music.
i wanted to swap out my Dimarzio Heavy blues for a YJM pickup...and GC was too busy.. so i brought it to G77 to ask uncle dennis if he could do it in 1 hour. He directed me to luther and the malay guy (forgot his name) proceeded to install the pickup.
end result : guitar played and sounded fine. just that the pickup height adjustment screw was sticking out. and i couldnt get it to sit flush on the pick guard. it was irritating and i know it is a very minor thing la.. but im very anal about such stuff...
must be done fast , cheap and perfect...
so this is just to explain what i meant by unsatisfactory experience.
had i checked the guitar properly before i took off with it. I wouldnt have had to
live with it.
So this is probably a lesson -- only leave the store 100% sure.
