Who're the BIG shops in the region?

Going for a few trips in the region and thought of visiting their guitar stores...

I know HK is Tom Lee..

but not sure about other areas..

anyone know the big players in Indon, Msia, Thailand, Vietnam, and others in the region?

Thanks folks!

For KL, it would be Bentley Music. Like Swee Lee, their prices are outrageously high, even though in ringgit.

do they treat their guitars as badly as swee lee does?

maybe a shop with guitars in better condition or a better rep? My malaysian friends loathe bentley...

I went there a few years ago. I would say the guitars are in slightly better condition than Swee Lee. Not sure about the rep. No positive or negative experience on my part.

I think you should check with your Malaysian friends. There must be reasons why they loath Bentley, just as some people here loath Swee Lee.....haha!

It's the smaller shops that you should look out for. There's this branch called The Guitar Store in Malaysia, GREAT price, and GREAT service
