P.S: I posted this already in Kopi-tiam board, but I need help aurgently..

oh yeah, if i buy this, this would be my first guitar..

a simple search on the internet or on musiciansfriend would suffice.

i saw one site. and the guitar is selling for 240 USD.

so that guy's most probably a lying bastard.

well, in uk sites, for pounds it's like 300 pounds, which is around 900 sing dollars.. so.. i am confused..

 

[funky]

anybody have any comments or ideas?

you can go down to yamaha and check the price of that guitar. that will give you a better idea of how much the guitar actually cost.

but take note yamaha overprices things by a lot

And probably acount for the 14% discount.

But that a good gauge of its retail price.

i totally agree with pinkspider..
go to yamaha and ask for it's retail price

btw funky, it's not an electric, it's a semi acoustic
