heh, but from the way it is, what will happen if theres more supply then demand?
Can majority of the guitar playing dudes here buy 2 gibson every month? On top of that, those who dont surf by the forum, buy another 3, every month?
i also want if can, but i know i cant support my local biz that way, if i cant support, prolly my local biz cant support me also and i have to look elsewhere for my goodies

heh, indeed cheaper it seem, but then sometime the biz side of geetars we cant see and wont know unless being in it. End of the day, spend money where we like and be happy! Instead of limiting ourselves to limitations
For mahogany without the mud and everything have u guys tried parker guitars?
Even the korean models, some of them come with a single piece mahogany body. Eg. p42, pm10. The p44 comes with a 2 piece mahogany body. Its lightweight and has a super fast neck. Very versatile, as it come comes with push/pull coils. The pups on the korean models although diff from the US ones, sounds very close. I own the p42 and compared the sounds with those over the net.
Very nice sweet mids without getting muddy. I feel like saving up for another one.

the previous page sounded soooo econs =x
really? hahaha no idea dude. I'm not even old enough to take econs yet =X
I've been very keen on parker guitars for a long time... however, reading up on them, you know, people always talk about how they sound different. Talking about the MIA models here... in that, due to the small body, thin necks, different construction, materials used... its a different sound. Then go to youtube, listening to the worse audio, I kind of get the impression that there's a certain sound with parkers. I listened to a couple of vids, checked out sound files (esp on the parker website) and there's that sound too. Maybe its in the brain but think of it as along the lines of an Ibanez RG. Certain sound to that too.
That said, I tried some of the korean parkers... I cant' recall the pricing but I wasn't impressed by the feel of the instrument - purely personal.

yes really lol. equilibrium price/quantity of goods in the market is at where the demand meets the supply lol. so the price is determined by the demand and supply for gibbies in the market in singapore. and since it is a monopoly then they can fool around with the price a bit. but theoretically 2 companies selling gibbies in singapore might not see lower price either cos no incentives to blablablabla...
*flaunts econs knowledge xD*

haha yea when u do learn econs its pretty much common sense, only that econs is a subject where they take simple simple things and make it super complicated. just to mess with your brains. haha.
I'm especially intriguied by the ergonomics of the thing.
Oh well, wait till I get to try a real deal MIA Parker 1st then say.

yeah parker guitars are really not bad, i tried a 1k one... think its the lower end p42, without piezo. the feel's indeed special, with an ebony fretboard. however, no inlays.. 
i feel its much harder to learn on an inlayless fretboard than with one..
shredcow (on reply to my previous post): that got me thinking... hmmm...

"SECTION 7 DEFAMATION
Introduction
21.7.1 The objectives of the tort of defamation are, on the one hand, to protect personal reputation and, on the other, to ensure that the right of free speech and public communication are not unduly compromised. Within the tort of defamation, these competing interests and rights have to be judiciously balanced.
21.7.2 There are two forms of defamation: libel (words in permanent form) and slander (words in temporal or transient form). Libel is actionable per se without proof of special damage whilst slander would require such proof, unless specific common law and statutory exceptions apply. For example, special damage is not required to be proved in respect of words calculated to disparage the plaintiff in any office, profession, calling, trade or business held or carried on at the time of the publication (see section 5 of the Defamation Act).
21.7.3 Apart from the civil tort of defamation, section 499 of the Penal Code provides for the offence of criminal defamation. For the prosecution of such an offence, it must be shown that the accused made the publication with the intention to harm the reputation of the defamed person, or knows or has reason to believe that such harm would result. The focus of this section is, however, on the civil tort of defamation.
The Elements of the Cause of Action
21.7.4 The three main requirements for a cause of action under the tort of defamation are as follows:
(a) The statement must be defamatory in nature;
(b) The statement must refer to the plaintiff; and
(c) The statement must be published.
(a) Defamatory in Nature
21.7.5 A statement is defamatory in nature if it lowers the plaintiff in the estimation of right-thinking members of society or causes him or her to be shunned or avoided. This is based on the objective reasonable man test. The judge determines whether the test is satisfied in a particular case upon hearing the evidence adduced at the trial. There are no jury trials in Singapore.
21.7.6 In terms of construction, a statement may be defamatory in two ways: (i) via the natural and ordinary meaning of the words used or as may be reasonably inferred from the words; and (ii) by way of true or legal innuendo. True innuendo arises from words which appear innocuous, but may be understood to be disparaging of the plaintiff by third parties who have knowledge of special facts which are not generally known. To support a cause of action based on true innuendo, the plaintiff will have to plead those special facts known to such third parties to whom the statement has been published."
