Default what is the price range of a warwick if you buy from local shops?

is it a better idea to import on your own?

I would estimate that a Warwick Corvette Std would cost around SGD$2800 or more am I right?

Depends if it's the bubinga ver. the ash version is cheaper. there are also active/passive versions of each body wood type.

And yes, importing them is cheaper. unless you see the model you want during the SL sales.

Talking

Why dun you consider buying 2nd hand? U buy new one also will get scratches, dings, chips after intensive whacking. Save money get a 2nd hand.

Yeh the prices seem to be quite reasonable for 2nd hand ones.

Recently there are a few warwicks on sale for good prices at the bass buy sell section. Try checking page 3/4.
