What I don't like about Jun.

- The fact that I have to go there and bring the guitar when I'm actually asking for the price of a specific service, i.e. neck reset. I know he does have to see the guitar, but I was asking it to make sure that I have the budget for it. A rough estimate would have done but I didn't get it.


i understand jun in this case. i do understand that a rough estimate would give us a chance to prepare some bucks for the repair. however, for everyone's reasoning i guess and looking at jun's point of view as a luthier, its difficult to assume a cost of repair for a repairman without visually seeing it first. taking for instance an example - initially, you might ask for a neck reset but upon visual inspection, he might found that the fretboard is warped and needs fret-leveling to compensate for it - that is of course a different job order that you're requesting.

find jun "sigurista" on such cases before giving information regarding the price of repair.

the only drawback here is time, but if proper time management is there, then why not?

peace po sir titser_marco :D just my two cents  :idea:

No need for peace pare. Wala namang away e. :)

Yeah, I also get his point but there are times when your guitar just gets screwed up real soon, like what happened to me. :/

Hehehe. Sarap basahin ng mga argumento.  Dagdag ko lang kahit huli na, pwede rin sa strings problema nyan.  

Dati bumili ako ng isang set ng Adamas nylon strings para sa classical guitar namin.  Pagkatapos kong ikabit at i-stretch, napansin ko ang hirap itono ng D string.  Ok sa lower frets pero pagdating sa 5th ang sama na.  Nabaliw ako dahil yung ibang strings ok naman.  Buti na lang prematurely naputol tapos nung pinalitan ko ng Maya, ok na, natotono na nang matino.  

Mula non, hindi na ako bumili ng Adamas ulit.

you'll definitely need to have your guitar set up if you change string gauge.

Hehe.. Lets leave it at that nlang para peace and goodwill to all mankind. :) Im just so darn elated right now! Cant stop playing kahit unplugged. It just sounds so darn right. I asked the strings to be changed to guage 10, works great! But sooner or later, im gonna have it changed to 11. I want a really fat SRV-like tone. :D

i think i'm sticking with 9s... all my guitars are on 9s... besides, they say the tonal differences they say are barely noticeable plugged in... and no need to re-set up your guitar changing from 9s to 10s...

Im already using 10s. :) I dunno, i think i can hear the difference. The high E string sounds a bit bigger.

IMHO, it is sometimes noticeable and it can be summarized in this triplet: dink-dink- and then DOINK when you hit something on the high E.

And for slide players, heavier gauges are better, at least in my experience. :)

i've been reading what you guys were saying, and all i gotta say is, lahat kayo nagco-compare. e yung nagstart jan na "nautot kay *tooot*" and all, man, alam naman ng lahat kung sino sinasabi mo. dont be fag and go like that on people.

kung may weak and strong points both, then so be it. price should never be an issue, kasi sa totoo lang, WHAT'S EXPENSIVE? IT'S RELATIVE.

kasi ano ba gitara natin? if you get a 3,500peso fret job for a PRS,THAT'S NOT EXPENSIVE.


whoa!!! straight to the point sir! hehe

I never use the high gain settings onmfx. I guess there isnt much of a difference when you're playing with a ton of gain, but there's a difference when you play clean or mildly overdriven.
