Getting a guitar

[shadowclause]

im getting an electric guitar for beginner.
should i go to sweelee @ bras basah
or
just head down to peninsula shopping centre
to check out zen guitarwork, davisguitar and guitar77 ?
i heard that sweelee customer service is bad.
is it true ?

anyway.
is it good to get epiphone les paul special 2 for a beginner
but using for quite some time.
likely going to use it for 2 years +
my budget for guitar + amp + gigbag + stand is 400
should i get this guitar,
or some other guitar.
suggestions pls

Swee Lee is not the only place you can get the Epi Special II. You can get them at Standard Value too.

For a budget of $400, a package is the best deal. Since you like the Special II, you may want to consider the SX models avaliable at Davis.

The Timbre package are good for its prices. I tried them out when testing some pedals at SV. I would say that they are value for money.

i heard from people that they will give a 20% discount... but it's just because they raised their price to 20% more.. so they are giving 20% discount...

 

[shadowclause]

oic thx.
will go down to sweelee and standard value tml.

u might wana check out ranking sports, the shop opposite swee lee. they have guitars like J&D, shine, axl, kgarage - da mid range guitars @ good prices. they r quite good also.

400 can get you a decent package. ever considering getting a second hand one? some second hand deals are quite worthwhile.

 

[crapsh1t]

ups on getting 2nd hand guitars and amps too... =)

The Timbre package will include a 10w practice amp which would be ok for beginners. I have to say though that it is an Excellent move on deciding on an amp that can last you well beyond your "beginner" stage.

If you are dropping by Standard Value to try the Timbre package, do consider the low wattage Sound Drive amps as well. Unfortunately, the 15w amp is out of stock.
