Japan has all the Nice stuFF, No Fair!~ *sigh

[AzNjT]

I mean LOOK, Okay, maybe they Dont have ALot of things But thry certainly are better than Singapore, i guess being a Small country we only have like 2 main Outlets... which is crap....

They have Burny MIJs, Jackson Stars, Edwards an so on....

 

[DarknessFury]

There's a reason why there are more MIJs in Japan than in SG, haha...

Then shouldn't you blame the States instead?

They've got D'Angelicos, Jim Tylers, etc.

Anything you wanna blame the Japanese is them driving up the prices of guitars in the mid-90's with their obsessive-compulsive behaviour to buy all things vintage...

 

[17wil]

errr....is this another thread just to complain abt things again? :lol:

 

[thailoverboy]

buy online lah..whats so hard

 

[AzNjT]

if u buy online , u would have to pay for shipping and u wont know the condition of the guitar and u wont be able to try it....

worst case is that u still have to send it back or they wont accept it at all.. i dunno..

support ur friendly thai luthiers then
http://www.guitarandpickup.com/
its not that expensive to travel up to bangkok, u can go there and try until ur knees turn jelly
anyway those MIJ, CIJ or watever big names labels of guitars doesnt naturally mean they r great, they might not even suit ur playing. but if ur buying to collect then its a different story

 

[AzNjT]

hey man, sorry for being such a noob-ass but what are luthiers? are they people who set up your guitar??

 

[thailoverboy]

ur half rite, they build,set up, repair ur guitars.
rok & loll justin...rok & loll :lol:

 

[AzNjT]

:twisted: LOL, do u have ur own Intro page??

 

[neuro182]

i have alway been wanting to travel up to Bangkok to custom make a guitar man.. its better to haf a no-brander guitar built to the exact specifications u wan rather than buying 1 off the shelf & end up spending more money upgrading/changing/modifying the parts later..

thailoverboy: u bought/mod anything from the guitarandpickup shop? share some experiences if possible thanks.

i want a telecaster modded and look like john 5 's tele!

 

[AzNjT]

[neuro182]

i tink Swee Lee has a John 5 Tele.. why not wait for sales, it wld be cheaper though.. we r talking about saving arnd $1000 if there is another 50% sales :wink:

 

[thailoverboy]

i havent been to that shop personally, but i heard tons of gd comments from my friends. they build lotsa gd prs and strat copies...hand-wound pickups as well. i thnk guitar77 carries them.
will be makin a trip there in dec to visit the man personally, then i will post full FR

 

[17wil]

very true man. but it isnt always like very lucky for me. Either wud be,
1. no money when sales comes.
2. confirm people snap it up.
3. even worse. parents dun allow muahhahaha

and anyway back to topic ,
i think Singapore dun really have much musical influenece yet. as in , there a LOT of musicians, but it isnt really like in other countries where 3 out of 4 people can play a musical instrument.
maybe becuz their country big la ah
and many teens here wud rather go DDR-ing in arcade or Inital D-ing rather than sit down get ur fingers pain like hell and play instruments. :lol:

yea man. i would like to custom make a Singlecut if the total cost does not amount to more than SGD $2k.. dun mind if its some brandless guitar. at the end of the day, its the feel & the sound that delivers :wink:

 

[thailoverboy]

i thnk their double cut copies cost around 1.2 - 1.5k sgd
