Hello out there,

Anyone know of a good guitar shop in BKK that can do a full professional set-up

on a high end acoustic guitar......replace bone nut/saddle, neck check, intonation, string height...etc.?

Greatly appreciated, Joe

Central rama 3 on the sixth floor has a good guitar shop. (not in the central bit itself) the complex i mean.

Petchburi Rd. Opposite First Hotel which is Soi 11. Large Guitar Shop. Another Between Soi 13 and 15.

Mr. Shane,

Mr. Shane (Thai) is the only one there...

unlike the "other" large lutheriers...

whom have a few wannabe lutheriers...

which may do some of the "grunt" work.

Seems Shane does all the work...

perhaps he does have an assistant,

but be assured he does the work (unlike them).

(Discovered him through my music teacher...

a pro in his own right,

he has heard many good things 'bout him,

through many other Thai musicians.

In experience...

Inexpensive, easy to work with.

Not sure about his English since

my thai wife spoke to him on the phone

and took the guitars to him and dealt with him.

My wife said she saw a lot of Farang customer

picture's on the wall. He is one of the top luthiers

you can find in Bangkok.

Did excellent work on our 3 guitars.

Ibanez M-340, Crafter, Washburn

(see my post

Of course your mileage may vary,

personally I think more musicians need to know

where these people are.

cheers & good luck

Although probably howto's advice is where I'll take my Les Paul for an overhaul, there are also 2 guitar shops in Siam Paragon who also do repairs. A friend of mine was happy with their service. Sorry I can't tell you which one it is - he left Bangkok already. But if you want to go there talk to both and you should be able to tell which one is more competent.

Alicia guitars does excellent work and at a very fair price.

Most highly recommended.

Rama 9

Soi 11 (at the very end of the dogleg soi )

Near Ekamai.

Aliceia Guitars is top notch, along with P'Shane. I had a custom PRS Santana made while I was there, seen here:

Can someone please get me P'Shane's updated email address for the business? I am now living state-side and really want another guitar to be made. Any help is much appreciated.

I just had setup done at Prathunam Center, Petchaburi Rd, near Central World. 1st Floor (thats one flight of stairs up). Booth number 1055. Did a great job 150baht. Look like he builds and repairs lots of guitars.
