SINGAPORE — When I paid a visit to Wax Guitar Services near Beauty World MRT Station recently, I was greeted by the sight of the instrument repair shop’s young owner Hazieq Nizam lost in his work.

He was hunched over an electric guitar with a dead serious expression on his face that was lit by a tiny desk lamp reflecting off the instrument he was holding.

Not wanting to interrupt, I paused to take in the smell of soldering iron and the sound of John Mayer’s guitar riff playing on a music system in the background as I looked around the interior of his six-month-old shop.  

Not that it took long to finish scanning around the 8-sqm humble studio.

Mr Hazieq’s serious expression immediately broke into a grin when we exchanged pleasantries.
