Stop before you hit reply and mindlessly type in "MD Guitars in Hongdae". He's a nice guy and he does good work but he's disappointed me once or twice so I'd like to give someone else a go.

So, anybody have any experience getting their guitars set up or repaired by anyone else? In Nagwon maybe?

thanks, eh

What exactly do you need done?

FOr a general set up and the like, I've heard that Lance, at deeleybobs in Haebanchon is good.

Don't really know, as I set up my own guitars.

PS- Call Lance, don't just try to stop by. As far as I know, the shop does NOT keep regular hours, cause it's just him. He lives near by, though.

I'm getting a custom bass guitar made from there once some parts mailed from the US. The guys name Ryu, and he does some pretty cool custom jobs.

Hey, belated thanks all. At the moment it's a re-fret, but it could be any of a number of things I need from time to time.

Maybe I'll give the willows guy a try.

Have you visited they Willows place yet, lion?

How did the bass turn out, milkman?

[lion]

Haven't, and won't. I didn't see anything on their site about working with acoustics, so I gave them a miss. I ended up just taking the guitar to MD and he did a really good job.

I actually saw and touched milkman's bass. I didn't play it in earnest, but it looked and felt really solid.

Interesting. I want to get a new nut installed and a proper setup - with no fret buzz with a good lower set action. I tried some bafoons in that 낙원 hole of a building that were supposedly "the best and oldest in Korea" - yea right! And I am tired of their monkey-of-a-response that "all guitars buzz."

I really would like to know where to go for a TRUE professional experience.
