If u're in the US itself , there's plenty of guitar centres

Not really, the petrol companies want u to believe it. But it actually makes petrol cheaper, cuz oil in traded n is a USD denominated commodity. So as usd drops, the big companies r actually buying oil at a cheaper rate of exchange. Furthermore, not onli is usd dropping, but our sgd is raising strong.
Petrol prices r raising, cuz they tell us the cost of oil is raising, but they dont tell us of the discount they r getting in the cheaper USD. Just like USD drop, but does swee lee or anything other guitar dealer lower their prices?
hehe no rite, but i think its only fair to them, cuz its a risk them have to take also...

i havent received it yet, but i did test it out in a guitar store before. imagine a chunkier highway one strat back profile. thats essentially what you get. people either love or hate the neck. i'm assuming players who play metal or play fast might not like it. its more rock and roots kinda thing.
the pickups (in the store) sounded like a non-traditional tele. slightly rounder and fatter and darker. a good thing since teles can get really ice_picky. its kinda like texas specials i thk, but i really need to goose up the volumes to see.
i play blues so its perfect for me
will post a review when i get both guitars dec 14th
yes its possible to hand-carry them.
if in soft case, then you get to carry on 2 hand carrys.
if not, can always check it in. my parents are carrying both onto the plane for me. i guess i owe them a big dinner!
from my memory, shipping *should* be cheaper from the US, than vice versa. but my info is 4 years ago, so dont quote me on that

wah, then SIA better. i tried with others, they always ask me to check in.
but there is actually a loophole to get more weight on.
last time, i sent 5 guitars to the UK to sell and i was going to be overweight, so i handcarried one hardcase to the departure area, made alot of noise, they assured me that it would be ok and it got put in the cargo hold with a fragile sticker, so i got the weight free
jingming, really am not sure they will accept even a blues junior as handcarry.
last time, i was hauling over an ampeg reverberocket (big mistake)
