theres not much of a vintage market in singapore, in term of a shopfront selling those.
and even if theres any, the selection is not big, so most prolly depend on luck whether is there anything to liking when happen to be at the shop at particular time

Yeah. Honestly i reckon the best place would be here. They do crop up in the buy and sell section every once in a while.

i have owned many many lawsuit guitars, half of them come from hub4thailand at one point of time haha
But seriously b4 u take the plunge, u should do your own research on these guitars. Not every jap lawsuit vintage guitar are created equal. Theres a huge load of information on the net regarding all the different brands and their pros and cons. Also which line or series to look out for and how to identify them.
B4 u get your first vintage lawsuit, u should already know how a great guitar sounds like and what to look for in one. As a guideline, try to look for early to mid 80s. 70s the japs were just starting out and were not as well made and the materials were not as gd.
Also besides the cost of buying them u might also have to bear the cost restoration. Many of these guitars are old. So may require changing of parts, refrets etc. So should u look for a totally mint, kept in the box/cupboard for years guitar? Not necessarily so as the better guitars would have been favored by their owners and played more often than other guitars.
So having signs of wear and use is actually a gd sign. Gd luck with your search.
