Peavey Wolfgang goes to the workshop

What: My Peavey Wolfgang Special goes in for service
When: September 2008
Where: PJ

I recently sent my beloved Peavey Wolfgang Special in for a service and re-stringing. I sent it to Simon Liew of Guitar Pro Shop (www.guitarproshop.net) at Damansara Perdana. He comes highly recommended as he is one of the few guitar repair specialists in the country (that I know of) who was actually formally trained and didn't just picked up a guitar and start messing around with it. Besides getting your guitar up to ship shape he'll often share stories of his many adventures while learning his trade in places like Austin, Texas and San Francisco.

Some pictures that Simon took during the restoration.

Ahh my baby...
