Hey all,
saw lotsa goodies there, and thought i'd post up some stuff for all, if anybody's intending to head down there anytime soon.
images are on image shack so i dunno how long they will last, but hope you guys can see the images.
First up, all excited on day one, headed straight to Cameron lane in Kowloon to check out HK's biggest guitar store. (Tom Lee Music) apparently the one in cameron is the biggest one. i stayed in a hotel about 5 mins walk away so yah, i was there almost everyday of the 4 days i spent there. heh. i mean, its really nothing compared to GC or the big chain stores in the US, but its plenty good nonetheless...
lotsa of fenders, ibanez, PRS, yamaha, Gibsons, ESP, epiphones, LTD, etc. stuff you get to see in sg i guess. i took some pics just for variety's sake...
But i wasn't there guitar shopping. i was there hoping to get my hands on a mesa dual r'fier thinggie. so, was a little disappointed that the dual was sold by the time i got there. they only had the mark IV, Nomad 55 series, Lonestars, Dual R'fier Road King combo and the single r'fier solo head 50w. also tons of marshalls! (TSL 60W for SGD$1200, Mode Four 350 for SGD$1200...etc), Laneys and Fenders, Epiphone , Ibanez and Line 6 amps, one or two ashdowns and hartkes etc..had mesa cabs and even a beautiful Genz Benz 4 x 12 cab. anyways, here's some more pics..!
tried the Nomad series but didn't quite take to it in the end. the rest were just out of my budget, except the single r'fier solo head, but still wasn't that convinced based on reviews. what's good is they let you play to your heart's content, no questions asked.
since Mesa was out, i figured i'd try and see if HK had any Carvin dealers. called them up and found another little shop (Tsang Fook & Co. located along Jordan Rd, Eaton Hotel), small outfit, sold lotsa recording stuff and lotsa carvin guitars, but the V3 was sold out!! argh. anyways, spotted some classics there...more pics!!
these guys will ship to sg if anyone's keen. just pm me and i can pass u their contact. the service at tsang fook was much better than tom lee's but product range much smaller. and the way TL handled their amps had me thinking twice about buying from them...
anyways, hope some folks enjoyed this little writeup. thanks for reading and hope it helps anyone who might wanna head down to HK soemtime soon for some guitar shopping.
cheers
