If you have time, go to city music and get the DARCO strings, it's cheap, good and they last longer than Peel fresh fiona xie 'juices'...

MrMisse is trying very hard to regain is "King of Dodge" throne...

Ok, updates, i have visited Davis,G77,East Side,Swee lee bras basah, city music,yamaha music,guitar connection and some other shops which i stumbled upon in Excelsior and in some random malls.anyway i went to davis , tried out some PRS SE's and i must say they felt and sounded good but the staff were not able to answer my simple questions of the type of wood used and stuff like that.unfortunately they din have the PRS SE PA at the shop and when asked if they could bring one to the shop,they were very unfriendly and spoke in a very infuriating tone.theyre doin some stuff to their warehouse or something but when i asked if i could put a deposit down to get the guitar they said can. then i went to city music, i got a POD XTL case after checking out the $35 westfield pedal bag and decided to pay $13 more for the nicer and more well made case. i checked out G77 and unfortunately they only had come old schecters in stock, some omen extremes , c-1 exotics and a c-1 with a gold top. i tried these out and felt that the PRS SE's sounded better and were more comfortable to play. didn't find anything remarkable in any of the other shops. went to swee lee next and got a white dimarzio straplock strap and some ernie balls. Tried out the Ibanez guitars and they too didn't feel as good as the PRS SE's. So in the end, decided that even though the PRS SE PA model looks pretty crap, it was my best bet even though i haven't tried it, so i went back to Davis and put down a deposit for one. it should be in at 3.30 pm tomorow so i'm gonna collect it and return to Malaysia at 6.30 pm tomorow.Thanks guys for all your help and advise. P.S. i stuffed my ritter guitar soft case in my backpack so that i didn't have to get a new one but the davis people refused to sell me the guitar without the bag.they said it will be the same price even if i dont take the bag. after much insisting, they said they would reduce the price by $20 if i don't want the bag. i was like what???$20? geez, so carried my ritter case here for nothing.... anyway thats it, any ideas of what i should do tomorow?

the staff were not able to answer my simple questions of the type of wood used and stuff like that,

they were very unfriendly and spoke in a very infuriating tone.

thats very typical of them, especially when you ask more than 1 question. :lol:

boy, have i got a LOT of stories about the service quality/attitude of 'that shop' :evil: :lol:

by the way dude, the PRS SE gig bag is worth at least $80-100.

if i were you, i'd just get it with the guitar and sell either bag.
