I bought my ESP 10 yrs ago in Malaysia, and I also went over to Singapore to check some out...I paid RM3.6k for my guitar, its the regular mirage series (no longer in production). And I saw the Kirk Hammett series going for around SD 1.6k at Davis....so yeah, Singapore WAS a hell lot cheaper to get ESPs....not sure about now.

BTW: I hate the Davis' boss...arrogant @$$hole....but his daughter was hot though.....

for sing prices.....
take the malaysian price, convert it, then take some 10% - 20% off it.
That's should roughly be how much you're paying for it in singapore
That's my rough estimation....I think it's around there =/
unloco

Beatmasta
oh wait if to go down n buy axe from there...how much tax are they gonna impose on us?
blacktrix
If you put it in a gig bag and you look old enough to say "I went down Singapore for a concert", then they won't tax tongue.gif

Normally they won't tax.... but you never know. And I would actually rather buy it from Malaysia if it's maybe 100 or 200 cheaper.... mainly because the hassle and the worry of customs is just not worth THAT much.
SweetTooth
and any warranty claims and stuff you have to go alllllllll the way back down to singapore and go through it again smile.gif
sometimes its worth paying a little more to save you the trouble. don't forget petrol prices too tongue.gif
blacktrix
And if this is a beginner's guitar, there really isn't much difference in price. Trust me. You'll make it out easier buying the LTD in Malaysia......

If you're buying something like the ESP KH or Alexi Laiho guitar.
SweetTooth
i'm getting my alexi laiho sig in a few months time ^^
lowest range though sweat.gif
blacktrix
Aiyo. Be a REAL laiho fan! Get a RR24!!!!!!!! Jackson FTW!!!!!!!!!!

Either that or a Custom ESP Alexi Laiho with Gain Boost!

Guys, what's the differences between the H models and the MH models besides the headstock?

mh series have floyd roses and 24 frets. H series have stop tailpieces and only 22 frets.
quarantined
hey sweettooth.. i found that actually both also comes with 24 frets and both offer string thru bodies, though the mh has the floyd option as well. I guess the differences, besides the headstock,is the different maple top(one quilted another flame) and the pickups only. But I thought H series have that pointy headstock like the one used by Page Hamilton..
SweetTooth
looks like they've changed their models beginning this year sweat.gif i'm outdated on H models tongue.gif never liked them.
notice how the models on their website is 51,101 etc? the -50 models used to have 22 frets and a stop tailpiece.
looks like now its ToM bridges but still 22 frets on the models below the 250 series. and also all -50 models this year have received "better" pickups, lh-150 replacing the former lh-100 though i dunno how different they sound like smile.gif

PRS SE Custom was listed as SGD900 last year.
now dunno whether the price had increased or not. =)

i think 300sing is quite expensive considering a new one can be bought for a little less than rm1k

if i'm not mistaken, i saw bc rich warlock somewhere in sgwang plaza for about RM8xx ... got normal wood type body and acrylic body also.

i use ESP basses. yes sg so much much cheaper. the Ltd F104 is SGD$450 in sg in KL is RM$1650. when i bought it comes with softcases, cables and some picks, etc..

when i bought the TA-500 LTD for Tom Araya basses hit me for SGD$900. i saw it in guitar colletion dun even dare to ask the price.

overall sg is cheaper for guitar, and theres a few guitar shops at peninsula plaza that gives good prices. Swee Lee is a bit ex. but if u know the ppl there and regular got regular prices.

check around

Does SG got many selections of ESP/LTD guitars? Prices here does look a bit HEAVY.

Anyone knows what is the difference between a LTD F-50 and F-10?

I've been comparing specs for both but they seem the same unsure.gif
crazychris
u mean F-100 ?
SweetTooth
i think he means the F-10 that comes with the f-10 pack
but if you do mean the difference between F-50 and F-100, the f-100 has a flamed maple top.
jacksonyong
I suggest you to try them out first before buying it.. there are better guitars at your price range, agathis guitar is such a turn off.. the sustain and tone is very bad... Don't get me wrong though, I don't hate LTD/ESP guitars. I've tried the ltd ec-1000 and they sound very good.. lots of clarity, to be more specific... The high-end LTDs are good but not those low-end ones....

If you're into metal-looking guitars try considering Ibanez.. Their low-ends are better than ltd's in the long run..

P.S. Good luck in choosing your guitar.. smile.gif

Yes I'm referring to the F-10 that comes with the pack. The guitar is available w/o the pack as well. Kinda like the wicked design.

Hmm...thought of the JEM Jr also...but I've heard many negative feedbacks about it...and I'm assuming it's basswood body is a letdown?
jacksonyong
I guess they are referring to the EDGE III bridge which is known to break easily..

perhaps the neck thicknest. the LTD F-50 would be the thin U neck, while the F-10 is the U neck, which is slightly fatter. and the pickups

y would basswood be a letdown? it would sound almost like the alder, just less body and lighter.
