Reborn of the Alvarez MF90!! Tapping, Whacking and Harmonics..









The Day that we did a proper re-string on mY Alvarez with the appropriate tools. Chris came up with the idea to do some polishing to make the Axe shine. Some Oil on the frets and a motor polishing agent on the body. My Axe was xcited as i am even before putting on the strings. It was begging all the time while i hold it in my hands coming out from the soundhole "play me once you are done!". Therefore i strip her naked(the strings of coz) andSo i put DUck's(brand) oil on her Neck, slowly massaging to the top up till the temple on her head. The texture was smooth as her neck was dripping with lubricant. Now comes the heavenly body, i rub it clockwise and then anticlockwise. To cut the story short she came out wonderful and buzzing. Then i need to dress her with "EArthtone" Strings. Highly recommended by Chris as it's suppose to produce a bright tone. We did it and She was fantastic, the action was superb and i played Isato's Clarence and the tone came out sweet...

Thereafter we spent the rest of the day playing Chris's Lakewood(picture below) and my Alvarez. Chris show me Whacking to produce harmonics and the Octave harmonics as well as the Alternate Tuning plus finger tapping. Chris did it so smoothe and inspiring. We watch KAtie Melua's concert and play abit of Depapepe. We end our evening having a super sinful dinner with Roti John Specials, Fried Wings and HOr Fun at Spitz Sinpang Bedok. O Btw Chris is going to buy a Hello Kitty GUitar nx week. He even got the bag before the instrument. Chk out the pink bag, So cute rite... hehe..
