passion
you need alot of 'passion' to bring in boutique gear. the turnover of such products can be quite slow, esp after the hype dies down.
as far as i know, most of the guitar shops in SG rely on export sales to stay alive.
then again, musicians regionally love to come to SG to get boutique gear. the range of boutique gear we have here's definitely much larger compared to Malaysia and Indonesia. prices here are pretty competitive too.
