Hi all! Some of you might have seen this ad before but I haven't sold my guitar yet because I couldn't bear with it. But this time, it's for real! I have to sell it off to raise enough airfare for a community service trip to China. So here's some info about my guitar:

Additional accessories: Gigbag, elixir strings already on the guitar instead of the D'Addario ones which it came with.
Special points:
It really has a beautiful sound to it (you have to try it for yourself to know though since sound is subjective). The sound resonates well and in a small intimate setting, you don't even need to use an amp.
It comes with a pick-up already, saving you the hassle to have to install one for additional costs.
This guitar is totally made of solid wood (back and top) and I cannot emphasize why it's so important that a guitar should be entirely made of solid wood:
1) Richer tone: The quality of the wood lends itself to a richer, fuller tone from the guitar, as opposed to the usually 'dead' tone that can be heard on a lot of the cheaper laminate body guitars.
2) Sustain: Solid wood guitars produce more sustain on the notes played, as well as offering a greater range of projection in the sound. This is especially helpful for acoustic guitar players who might play in impromptu settings, such as traditional folk musicians, and may need the best natural sound projection possible.
3) Aging: Solid body guitars gain a better tone as the wood they are made from ages. Although these types of guitars need more care and attention than laminate wood guitars, due to humidity and temperature-change factors, they become stronger and more mature as they age. This helps them retain their rich, full-bodied sound as time goes by.
Condition: 9/10, no scratches at all, only that the tuning pegs are a bit cloudy.
Bought it in: June 2009, from TYMC, Peninsula Plaza
Original cost price: $780
Price i'm asking for: $600-700

It's a good guitar for beginner to intermediate guitarists, for those who are performing to a small crowd, or even for your own practice!
For those that are interested in buying, I live in the east but I can always arrange to meet up with you for you to try it out. Please call me @98277184 (Ariel). I would like to sell it by latest next Friday (1st June) so please contact me asap. Thank you for your time!
