Re-string: Maestro ET-1

Early morning re-string: my Maestro ET-1. The more I try Elixir strings, the more I wanna try something else. So seen here is a pack of Gallistring Lucky Star LS10- a set of .010s, naturally. I'm also the type who dislike thick strings in acoustics. You can preach the goodness of having such strings in acoustics to promote sustain & volume projection which I already know but they don't do me good; this is the over-riding consideration. Whatever it is, it has to serve my needs (& quirks). I also managed to lower the action a wee bit.

Re-string/ set up: Ibanez RG350M


Another successful re-string/ set up episode to share- Ibanez RG350M belonging to Brother Akmal @ Bt Batok. This guitar was in very good condition but because it was acquired used, the initial owner could have been more forthcoming in disclosing the demerits of the instrument. Seriously, if you have something to hide, you are better off keeping your guitar rather than selling it in the after market. Should some faults be discovered along the way, it would undermine your reputation, unless of course, it's a bona fide oversight.

Re-string

It's another lethargic weekend with nothing much to look forward to. The upcoming week is just another week, one bogged down by a depleted fund for gear splurging. It always happens this time of the year. Perhaps this is why the season is named as 'fall', besides leaves, enthusiasm, determination & spending capacity are all falling...

I was more intent in doing instrument upkeep today than playing. My Ibanez RG321 & Talman acoustic gets a fresh set of GHS strings each.
