opps guess i am a lil bit slow..
btw is the grx40 good? what are ur views?

the GRX40 is a discontinued model, but still available here. the RGX40 was at its best when it was still agathis-bodied back in 2002 IMO 8) is it any good now? the well-setup ones are very acceptable as beginner units/ as a back-up.

Thanks Sub!
you're the best!!!

while you're at it, do give the Danelectro Cool Cat (if you can still find any) a try, IMO this one beats many others to date.

i was kinda about to make purchase on that cool cat pedal... when i got enlightened by Grimbrody, who happens to own one, that it can only be powered by 18V adaptor... i only have a 9V on my board wif daisy chain

Yes I am. Thanks. 8)

Any updates on the list price? Or is it still the same as a couple of pages back?

 

[wangdexian]

I was at Sweelee yesterday, I think the olive green S520EX is going for 1800 SGD list.

[hostile]

any idea if the above is available at sweelee? xplorer with the ibanez headstock looks killer :twisted:

 

[mero]

nope the Destroyer series is not avaliable in Singapore I think... Of that line only one model of the Iceman is avaliable

 

[Vaiyen]

I've got a burning question : does Aljunied Swee Lee stock Jackson models? the range at bras brasah is woefully pathetic.

 

[GuitarNoob]

jackson get online!! my friend's getting a jackson online at a really cheaper price, online shop through ebay

 

[Vaiyen]

ebay? 2nd hand issit?

 

[chimaera]

if buying from states like ebay please take note that shipping and gst as it enters singapore can cost you 250-300 sgd easily thats how much am forking out for shipping so please keep that in mind,..

 

[GuitarNoob]

nope not second hand, go check it out, there are a few ebay-based online stores, some are dealers for jacksons, or fenders etc etc reasonable prices too

 

[Vaiyen]

ok thanks.

but isn't the picture a classic? so is there an error attaching the picture or the "Std"?

 

[penta-tonic]

no error. this is a new finish by Gibson, a faded edition, new for 2005. below are pics of the guitars in question, hope they help differentiate. in any case, the differences are not marked in these pics, visit the Swee Lee showroom & handle the faded version, the absent of a gloss overcoat is very apparent. do note that LP CLassic do not feature a zebra finish humbuckers as default.
