Ok Guys really could use some help here, I'm new in mumbai. Who's the best Guitar Tech in town? Surely some of you would have had some work done that you go raving about... or not
There's this guy in Malad, methinks. SB Musicals mein kaam karta hai. Get in touch... I'll get yout the number... He's supposedly one of the leading luthiers in Mumbai
hmm I dont have his no. But I can give you directions to Albertos. albertos has worked on my vintage accoustic guitar. Hang on till evening i will try and dig an old receipt and get his no, Or PM ABIJANATH he has made a guitar from him he should have his no.
Alberto's...? Hmm...Isn't that Luthier's name Sunil? please confirm? I am reluctant to give his number coz i found him too expensive.
His Name is Salu Dias... when you go down to him you many a times get his asstant Paul. I agree he is abit expensive. But he is worth it. He has donea excellent job on my vintage jumbo accustic guitar not once but twice. Once for a bridge restoration and second to repair a crack on the sound board. ( and I wont alow any TOM DICK AND HARRY to even carry my accoustic)
Salu (Albertos ) had a guy by the name of Sunil working for him some years back . I dont know if you are reffring to him. But I defintly dont see Sunil around Albertos shop in Malad. He might be working at Albertos Work shop though.
there is a guy registered by the name of Luthier on IGT. his profile is https://indianguitartabs.com/member.php?u=5885 send him a PM...he is based in Thane (if im not wrong)
I think he's branched out on his own and makes stuff in Kandivli now. I have his no. somewhere...will have to dig it out
I was not aware of that, I have not seen Sunil around for quite a while. He is quite knowledgeable. It was Sunil who first worked on my acoustic and fixed the faulty bridge. Abhijanath does Sunil also make guitars? I remmber seeing make guitars at Albertos (carving out the necks and bodies on the router) But any ways Albertos is good.
Yes, I am talking about this guy. I met Sunil through Ashish of Bhargavas. He has based his workshop at charkhop, Kandivli (west) a bit away from station. I asked about how he got into guitars and which people he got involved with. I remember him telling me that he was working the Albertoes guy. Personally, i felt Sunil is very good luthier but for a price. Please PM me if anyone wants his number. He stays in Mira Road by the way.
Yep Sir, I would most definately like his number. I have one and only guitar and I love it. So you can imagine how sceptical I am about letting anyone near it. In 14 years of owning it I've done all setup and maintainance myself, Filing frets is a little out of my league though and since I'm doing a pickup job and getting a decent amp, I'd like this guitar to do another 14. Price is not an issue as long as he's WORTH it. (The frets are like waves and that pushes the action higher than i'd like. - Unfortunate consequence of using cheap nickel silver frets ) Ashish mentioned somene in Kandivili, wonder if its the same guy. If you can tell me exactly where it is, even better. I'm in goregaon so kandivili is not bad at all.
