Re-string @ Bt Panjang

Here's the latest in my re-string adventure: an Epiphone Les Paul Ultra III, belongs to brother Ziyang residing at Bt Panjang. Work done:

• General clean-up of body & headstock
• Lubricate- Nut slots/ bridge saddle slots
• Fretboard- Re-conditioned
• Re-string- .0095 set

This Les Paul was gonna receive a .009 set initially but I advised Brother Ziyang to consider the .0095 first to get a feel of the slight change in overall tension so it received a set of D'Addario .0095 in there.

Yes, I'm still doing re-string/ minor tinkering for friends residing at Choa Chu Kang/ Bt Panjang/ Bt Batok neighbourhood. If you need a quick fix (at affordable prices), do get back to me :-)

Ultra III

I'm not a Les Paul fan... but if there's one that I fancy & would not hesitate to reommend to others, it will definitely be the Epiphone Ultra III. This year's offering sees the inclusion of an on-board tuner at the bridge pickup mounting ring in addition to the regular Ultra goodies. The Nano-Mag pickup, to me, is a wonderful inclusion because it's located at the neck end instead of being embedded into the bridge saddles like the common piezo unit. The former installation type means you get to hear a warmer clean tone, just like hearing a great clean coming from a neck position pickup.
