Can I buy guitar from johor??It offers me RM700 for Ibanez GRG150....

[Faizalhacker]

I was going to buy it soon but will the Custom immigration stop me for tax??Actually i just thought of a solution whereby i brought my electric guitar bag from singapore ,go johor and after buying the guitar , i keep it inside my bag and go back singapore and if they stop me im gonna say i just got back from a gig or something.... but do you think it will work?? Or can you guys give me any more tactics/ideas??

Yep, it'll work, or if they ask, just say you had a gig in malaysia. Our local bands have been crossing over lately so the customs are pretty used to guitar carrying people. Anyway, most of the time they don't bother anyway....

I bring my guitar back to KL for few times ady. They will never tax u. If they ask u said u bought it long time ago 1 la. Receipt don't keep together with the guitar.

 

[Faizalhacker]

That is a guitar shop in City Square? Maybe malaysia can ask for cheaper price.. but test teh guitar frist before buying

 

[DjKitz]

i think the ibanez he mention is from MIC 1. my frd tested it out. sound WEIRD.

 

[jcaosdon]

try kl? better range. personally i feel johor guitar shops doesn't stock good electrics. well, my two cents worth

take this from a msian and loads of music friends msia.

singapore have loads more stuff and much better prices anytime than malaysia. Almost all of my friends do their gear shopping HERE.

Thank you so much for sharimg your ideas...Suddenly I was thinking if the guitar i bought is spoilt I need to go back the guitar shop in City square, johor back.and its troublesome...so now ive bought and ESP LTD M-50 at $299...

They have squires as well as cheaper brands.

Not recommended at all.

For gear, buy in Singapore.

by the way , guitars are NOT cheaper in malaysia , they have higher taxes for electronics i think , anyway just get it from singapore

 

[Zarin]
