Here we all know, our instruments are expensive. Me being a student. It's worse.

But, we also do know, that 'cheap' guitars, can surprisingly sound and feel good...and can put up a decent fight against their more expensive counterparts.

These guitars, well to me...are gems in the rough. Maybe we could all share ideas about cheap guitars that are well above decent...if possible...very good.

Might try and keep the price range under 800. ( ok ok..i want a cheap 300 dollar guitar that plays like 3000... )

lol...
You can't go wrong with SX guitars. Cheap stuff with good tones. Sounded better than most of the Squiers and some said it beat some of the lower line Fender too.

300 bux for 3.0k sounding guitar...hahahah...ok, once in a while, there would be some idiot in this world would sell an awesome top of the line guitar for like couple of hundreads. My guitarist got his RG which should cost 2.1k for like RM 400 and this one old legendary story where some fella sell his Fender American Strat (in good condition mind u) for RM 600. Why laa thiss pple...

oh... me no guitar expert.. but got my taiwan made guitar for roughly RM130.... Sounded not bad... perfect for noob like me.. but pity the guitar now lying at home.. cuz no way to bring it here..haih....

i got Yamaha...one costs RM400 while the other (electro-acoustic) costs Rm450 2nd hand....both still oklah except for the latter one..the first string sounds 'bleh'..changed the string lotsa time liao...still the same..'bleh'..

sx...
definately won't go wrong
best thing is, u can still hot rod it and it will sound even better...
but u may wanna get a person that knows his stuff in wohfatt...
just in case....

^ SX eh? yeah man..heard damn lot abt them... how much their price range? woh fatt only eh...yeah i tried one there...

hello there,

i want to buy an acostic guitar. budget rm400+ to rm600+. I wonder if you all can help me by suggesting some nice, good for value models.

i hv seen the following :
1) yamaha f310, around rm400+, indo made
2) garrison, china made, good review fr thestar.com.my .. but alas .. rm850
3) santa cruz, china made, cheap ... but no impresssion

from the above three, i wud probably log in that yamaha f310, but my impression, yamaha makes pretty decent entry level classical guitars eg c70 or c80 but entry level acoustic guitars are not their forte. for a similar budget, i somehow think that there are better models out there, maybe a canadian or states made guitar round rm500+ to rm600+???

Appreciate your help and suggestions please.

Thank you.

akakakakakaka .. newbie to forum too maa .. using dial up at home ... no streamyx in my area ... connection dang slow .... timed out very often ... most of the times, i have to load a couple of times inorder to read and post ..

how about gettin a used good guitar
Between these three guitars which one would u pick and why
2nd hand MIM fender strat, with duncan bridge pu, no bag? RM1350
2nd hand MIJ fender strat (the lowest end jap strat ST-43), with bag? RM1450
2nd hand Highway 1 US fender strat with bag? RM1750?

also are these prices reasonable for 2nd hand fender guitars?

^whoa. i wldnt knw much. but i wld go for the mij strat.

dont really fancy strats...need a humbucker...unless its a fat.

Samick produces guitar???

got a ibanez grx70 at home...quite a good electric guitar to me...comfy when solo...i couple it with ds-1 pedal to make the distortion sound better...bought it below 700 i think...quite long liao

how much for a SX LP copy ar?

well.... i saw a Wave LP copy.... its kinda heavy
n its got zebra humbuckers.... the build is great IMO
n the neck is yummilicious
retails for rm999 copy oso so expensive but got discount la the fella say ><

wave? nvr heard of it before.

where did u see it?

Hmm...i would choose MIM...since it got Duncan pu there, kinda cheap for 1.3k. For me the Highway 1 is a bit expansive...better just collect till u can get a new one.


Yah...lots of them and many are cheap.



Hmm...should be below RM 900. I almost bought one for RM750...

bought my GAX70 at rm600 at bentley last year or so.. should be much cheaper by now.. looks great to me.. the sustain is quite long and looks good among other cheap guitars.. in other words.. i chose it over the squiers mainly bcause of the looks cos i didnt know that much about guitars back then.. hehe

noob here...
is ibanez electric guitars good 4 starters??
and how much will it cost one??? as in the whole set....

SX guitars have improve ALOT ever since. MY church bought one SX accoutic guitar and it's sounds good. It has really good attack , very light , comes with Fishman premap and EQ , and best of all ... the workmanship ... wah, can stand up with any Rm5K guitars .... and the best part of all ... it only cost Rm900 + gig bag.

Ibanez is ok...depends on which model, it's usually under 1k with gig big and some spare money to buy a small practice amp.

But before u get an Ibanez or Squier, take some time and test out SX guitars...it might worth the extra effort. Follow your ear and heart

pyramid ><||

wave? i saw some at rhapsody mid valley...they have a cheap acoustic bass...

the music shop in Kinta City , ipoh has loads of Waves's.. the shapes are copies.. donno bout the sound

wow under 1k...

haha i cant wait for SPM to be over !!

all under 1k, but SX u can get...from 500 - 900...depends either bass or guitar and which design (strat/LP/tele). SX LP copy is around 800.

SX LP copy is not exactly the same design rite??

i pin this topic, because it may offer a quick help to other guitarists as well

I will not say it's perfect (u can't really get a perfect clone) but it's a good clone. Same design except no Gibson at the headstock hahahaah~


Strat = Fender Stratocaster
LP = Gibson Les Paul
Tele = Fender Telecaster
