CHONG PANG guitar shop (review)

[Fadzzz]

hi peeps , so I've just been to the shop in the afternoon. Seen the shop , quite small.Like those mini shop selling sweets. Not much of a guitar choice.Its quite cheap , but the brand seems to be unknown to me. You even can bargain for price!! They never sell any pickup. They are more like a "cash converter music edition" shop to me. Have alot of colour of guitar , there is white,black,purple,yellow and many more(like seriously!!!) but the string they sell its a bit expensive. A normal steel string acoustic string from ernie ball can cost more than $12. Brand wise they have better brand name than TGM and SX. The one I saw was TIFFANY. Yeap,I've never heard of the name before.Performance wise is ok , not bad.But its ok for its price. And a normal acoustic guitar only cost $90. Alot of colours to choose from. So if you wanna get there,just alight from yishun mrt nad take bus service 800 and stop outside chong pang city(you can see the shop from inside the bus).

just curious, the name of the shop is called Chong Pang guitar shop? anything worth looking out for when you are there?

No , they do not have a name , yeap , i know its weird.. Not much of guitar as I said. Only a few choices. They only sells alot of acoustic and that is also they only have they have the same brand. But if u are looking for fancy colours , then its a good choice..

It's the shop at the corner near a coffeeshop right?

I walked pass a few times....looks like all their stuff from china, seem all the books are like "chinese-editions"

To me, DONT GO!
Not worth anything. Poorly
handled. Their amps is outside
on the floor. Bad service. But
if you really have a spare cash
for $&@&+^%* guitars, den go.
If not, go SV guitar or something
to get cheap but GOOD guitars!

Yes, I agree. They are in fact helping those who cannot afford even the cheapest guitars in other shops. I've actually seen a chap struggle to put together money for a pack of Dr Duck strings for his well-seasoned anonymous guitar.

I've been in that situation before... had to buy replacement strings individually outta my pocket money for my el-cheapo strat copy that was bought from such a shop like this.... I paid my dues with "crap" to get to where I am... (2 bands, 9 self-made guitars and counting) =) Everyone's gotta start somewhere. And that starting point doesnt necessarily has to be the best... IMO...
