Newbie needs help on choosing an electric guitar!!
- Thread starter pshcyo
- Start date
Yo bro..not sure bout the J.Suzuki..the only thing i bought of dat product is a cheap amp..which is not quite nice i might say..but amps and guitars are two really2 different things..they cannot be compared..Erm..When are u going? Maybe i'll juz tag along?
And lastly, Penin and Bras Basah are juz 10-15mins distant..u or we could go and survey for both buildings on dat same day..too bad i dunno whether they're closing this weekend or not..should be la..everyone deserve a holiday on their nation's birthday..
*I'm not a pro..especially on clean sounds..the most favoured clean sound for me is the 'warm' one..so if i ever got dat sound out of d guitar,i'll definitely recommend it to u..But mostly i know more of, is the comfort of playing the guitar..especially the fretboard..dat dude,is the most important thing other than tone sia..i can do dat for u..juz hit me as a last resort alrite..=)

I would personally recommend Cort guitars. I've tried these guitars out myself after the hype I've heard about their high workmanship: price ratio and was pleasantly surprised.

Sweelee carries them. You could go down over to try all their Corts below $400 and if you really like one that's above your current budget now, save up a little bit more and buy that, instead of compromising for something cheaper but which you don't like.
Here's a review by sub on a $400 model: http://soft.com.sg/forum/guitar-reviews/26199-cort-m-200-a.html

hi i also beginner, i was looking for a guitar set, les paul specially, cos i like guitars wif a warm tone and all, i like the weight of the body, cos i dun like head heavy guitars(i learnt classical guitars-body heavy)
anyways, i was at davis in peninsular testing a les paul, costs like 250 plus wif amp all tat(not advertising at all) cos it's ard my budget, the salesman helped me in explaining electric gigs all tat, made me really wanna save up and buy. but i still think tat maybe in future u might wanna get a fender cos it's like the nike/adidas of guitars, easy to buy, maintain, keeps value for a long time.
my 2 picks worth

my 2 picks worth
1)How comfortable ur left hand feels when it's on the neck..as in try playing and mayb alittle scaling? Some necks are too big..feels like a log is stucked there..lolz..suck to d core..
2)Is the big or small body applicable to u? If it's discomforting, then yea..there's ur answer..this principle is mostly used in comparing different designs, like between les pauls and flying V, Explorer and Stratocaster..u noe, dat kind of stuff..obviously different in shapes, design and weight..but for ur differentiation of Cort g200 and g210, i'm not sure if they carry different body profiles..
3)How comfortable is ur right hand when u strum..especially picking..coz guitars hav different size of gaps between strings base on the company or guitar design..dat's wat i've experienced myself so far..usually it's recommended having a not too big not too small gap, imo..
4)The tone..it would be great if u noe wat kind of clean sound u like..warm? or bright? etc..i'm into warm..so if u noe how 'warm' is and the guitar doesnt carry such sound, then it's simply not wat u want..

if your really have a low budget, get a starter pack.
i heard the sx pack isnt bad for it's price.
