If this is a post trying to advertise Woh Fatt, it's a pretty poor one (post, not the shop). Plus, mentioning your dad works there kind of biases the question...

As for what I think of Woh Fatt, I've been there only three times - twice I was not treated very well. They weren't rude, I just felt like they were not interested in helping me.

I was checking out the SX LP copies and when I asked them about trying one, they asked if I was going to buy it. I said that if it sounded good, I probably would. The person said that I could only test it if I wanted to buy it... I politely repeated that if it sounded bad, I probably wouldn't buy it. He then said that if I was serious in buying it and had the money, I could play it. I walked out of the store.

I know they probably have to deal with idiots who come in and just want to plug in a guitar and play the intro to "sweet child o mine" or "stairway", but seriously - I was asking to test an SX, not get a Gibson out of one of the glass cases and plug it into a Marshall.

I ended up going back again, this time, with my friends uncle (who was a regular, I guess it's who you know that counts!) - this time, they pulled out three guitars for me to try (same color), gave me a nice price and even adjusted the action and threw in three packs of strings and a soft case after the uncle told them what happened the last time I came in.

So after experiencing it from both an "unknown" customer and "known" person, I'd say the way I was initially treated put me off. If it wasn't for my friend introducing me to his uncle, I would have probably took my business elsewhere.

Having said that, they do have a reputation for reasonable prices and good selection of gear... then again, I wasn't looking for a Gibson, so I wasn't really paying attention to those prices

oh yeah, i was ready to buy a casio cdp100 digital piano at a shop last year, but I need to test it with a damper. I was 99.9999% sure to buy. but the salesgirl say, "if u want to test with damper, u have to buy the damper". WTF? piano shop no damper for testing? they lost my business.

anyway, generally malaysians are rude. laugh.gif

I only bought my LP-100 there ages ago because there WERE no other Epi/Gibson dealers. Even that also, the service put me off.
But once I got back with EMGs to install, they even mixed up the tone/volume pots.
Needless to say, never going back there unless I absolutely HAVE to,

I would rather buy from guys like DeadEye or Gapnap (which I have BTW) which offer me much better service. For my setups, I would go to Ng at JS Music.

SO yeah, in essence, your service could use a "setup".

Sorry if I offended you or your dad, but that's the truth AND the general consensus.

I've never been to Woh Fatt for at least a year already. I'll tell you why. =P

About 2 years ago, when me and my brother went to Woh Fatt to browse for a multi-effects guitar pedal, they totally changed our view towards them initially as a very nice and kind shop because they sell Gibsons. sleep.gif" It was our first time too.

As stated by many ppl above, they have this 'no money, no talk' policy, so when we saw a pedal that we wanted to try, they said "If you want to try, you must show the money first." We were like... O_O.

People who went there before should know that there's no parking over there unless you park opposite Woh Fatt which is at MYDIN, I think. o_O~

My dad was waiting in his car while we browsed around the shop, so we had to go all the way back to the car and asked our dad to masuk the shop but I had to wait in the car because cannot park there. sleep.gif"~ Then later, my dad come back and ask me to go back into the shop to test the pedal. Seems like they only let you test if you show them the cash. sleep.gif"

Fuiyo, after paying for the pedal, their service turned around 360 degrees weh. I asked them about a SX Les Paul's price. A dude there didn't only tell me a good price, he even took it down for me to test it. Syok.

There's another incident that really made me refuse to go to Woh Fatt already. Long incident....... lazy to type here. Because of that incident, my parents also don't like Woh Fatt liao.

I'm not here to rain on this parade (or add to it, whatever)

It's kinda off topic, but in my local yamaha. I was never treated the way Woh Fatt "allegedly" treats customers.

I'm just a student and i look like one, I went to my local yamaha one day to check out the guitars. I had a look at them and asked if i could try the apx700 i think. the guy (probably owner) just said go ahead. I took it down myself and tried it out. soon he came over and asked me if i wanted to test it with an amp. Even though its pretty obvious i have No money on me..

Kota Kinabalu yamaha gets lots of stars in my book.

+1 for hafiz
+1 for Bentley Damansara

I've been to Bentley BB almost once a week (near my office)
I've rarely been treated with sales service there..
you could see the obvious pattern related to what you wear and how's your attitude when entering the shop.

I have to agree with Everydying, Blacktrix and EchoBrain .. Even from last year I heard (but did not judge) alot of stuff about Woh Fatt . But the last 2 times I went there (once last year and once early this year), although I did not buy anything and just looked around, they were very nice. This uncle around the shop and aunty behind the counter.

This uncle, I think he must be the uncle everyone were talking about. I was quite surprised he was very nice and smiling when serving me even when I just ask price and look around, didn't even buy anything.

After I didn't wanna buy anything, just indicate I wanna ciao and said thanks, he even replied 'thank u thank u' in a very nice way.

That's my real experience so far lah.

Maybe it's just bad timing haha. Went to the shop last year and the auntie was very helpful..asked me if I wanted to try the Gibson LPs behind the glass cabinet which I declined, even though I did not walk flaunting a wad of cash.
Similar with Mahagony in SS2, he salesperson kept insisting I'd try the PRS 22 or 24, can't recall. But seriously I had no intention to buy but so far had good experiences.

You guys should come to HK, you could just pick up any guitars on the wall and have a go.

you're shareholder of bentley and woh fatt? tongue.gif

people just voicing their opinions, and since ts provoked this topic, and there it goes. you mean people who have negative experiences shouldn't voice out as it'll disturb their business? that'll never work - they treated one customer bad, they'll earn 1 negative feedback (sound kinda ebay'ish blush.gif ).

bear in mind that, shops will hire sales person and will change over time, and i believe most have experiences with different sales person, or even the boss him/herself, hence different opinions.

Hahaha actually my guitar shop experiences all quite good.

Bentley Mutiara - Wah. These guys all layan me and my bro when we went there to look for a new acoustic guitar. We had 3 guys talking to us and I even got to try out a Taylor guitar which cost around 4k. They also let us exchange the Tak we bought for another guitar.

Guitar Store Cheras - Hmm also very nice. An old man there ask me questions and we talked a bit. The worker also dragged our guitar up and down the stairs to the guitar tech a few times then another fella come in and talk to us and discuss about that guitar's problems.

Guitar Store Damansara - First visit was okay. Second one, aside from assuming I didn't know nuts about guitars (the 'oh a kid' look), kindof okay. Don't know why but embarrassing moments always happen here.

Bentley Bukit Bintang - Erm... nothing to say. They just ignore me and my bro and we left quickly even though it took us an hour to get through the jam and we walked from Lot 10 to Bentley.

Mahogany SS2 - Aside from their insane prices, this shop has treated me well. I like the old man and the worker is nice. Let me try an Ovation even though we were just there to buy a pick. They keep their guitars in hard cases and it's very mafan to keep taking them out.

Euphony Ikano Power Centre - Well they need to get some guys who can repair guitars there but otherwise the lady there is helpful. I bought my tuner there when I really didn't know nuts about guitars (a few years back) and the guy there showed me and my mum how to use the tuners and recommended a few.

Sometimes I prefer the person to layan me. Most of the time I want them to buzz off tongue.gif. I don't like sounding like a know-it-all trying to explain to my friends why you buy this instead of that and blah blah blah.

hmmm reflecting on woh fatt, once u enter the shop they will certainly follow u and keep asking what r u lookin for n u wil find no peace bcoz they keep following u, plus the shop is damn sempit that u cannot run or go to other section bcoz there is no other section, in the end u will end up leaving the shop after 5 to 10 minutes. doh.gif different story if i go damansara bentley, i spend nearly one hour eventhough i'm not buying anything flex.gif

i go woh fatt i can look around without much problems.
tho of cos its not a comfortable place to hang around for long since theres nowhere to sit.

bentley meanwhile of cos they dont mind leaving u alone.
cos they have cameras covering every sq inch of the place, along with the shoplift sensors.

shah handles guitars, while gary most of the time handles pianos or keyboards.. so he doesnt really know much abt guitar...

after awhile it gets pretty boring seeing the same old guitars everyday tongue.gif
heck, everytime i walk into bentley even after a gap of a couple months i see the exact same guitars on display and get bored.
they just move them around abit so the 'view' doesnt get stale.

i am not a share holder... i wish i was...
ahahha reallylah u ppl i think all look like rempit or cacat otak etc, cos i go to woh fatt, i tell them i can look myself they really let me see see... i even masuk behind the counter and grab whatever i want, they don't mind at all, cos i actually pay for what i grablah hahhahaha
i tried out their fender japan, gibson usa and the gibsons in the damn high up case a couple of times, and didnt buy yet, they always still damn nice about it...
i love woh fatt, the technician guy(middle aged) and the sales guy (young) always darn nice to me, can talk with them also.....
probably i always go at good time, and have a lot of time, can wait for them to layan me, and am damn polite to them, smile etc...
thats probably the way to get good service anywhere in the end...
bentley long haired guy is andrew, he and gary are darn nice fellas, and the tall malay dude who smiles too much also damn good service...
they all let me do retty much anything i want, from trying out the drumsets, hitting the cymbals with real sticks (not those crap rubber tipped ones), playing all the taylors, prs, fender custom shop etc in the locked room, without even worrying that i will drop it( they let me take the guitar myself), to playing the pianos especially the steinways hahhahaha even the $664000 model..... played the pianos a few times already heehee....
stock comes in every 3 months, if you're like me and play everything, you'll notice a few new things every 2-3 months....

Heh I think Bentley Damansara remembers me now tongue.gif. Long story.

Anyway as everyone has said including myself, they really don't mind you playing stuff you probably are never going to buy. I've noticed their price is cheaper than Euphony nearby too.

i just went to bentley damansara today, wow the service was super nice.
never before i got such nice service from other shops. the guitars were also all very clean, no rusty strings or such.

the worker there was very polite, very helpful also. how i wish all guitar store give such service.

he even let me tried the MIA fender.
that was very different from the Bentley HQ.
i would definitely buy that strat from Bentley Damansara.

bentley keyboards are NOT overpriced currently. It used to be way overpriced years ago.
maybe because they are no longer the distributor? They are just dealer now for Roland Asia Pacific.
their roland keyboards are priced "slightly" more than U.S online prices.

Example :

Roland FP4
US = RM4910
Malaysia=RM5500(before 7-10% discount)

Roland RD700GX
US = RM8799
Malaysia=RM9800(before 7-10% discount)

Kurzweil PC3X
US = RM10,000
Malaysia=RM9550(before discount!) - CHEAPER THAN U.S

NOW, compare to prices of Yamaha Keyboards Dealer prices in other shops

Yamaha CP33
US = RM4223
Malaysia=RM5500. Now increased to RM6800

Yamaha P140
US=RM4000
Malaysia=RM6000 !!!!!!

Yamaha Motif XS6
US=RM8700
Malaysia=RM9800, but now RM13000

never got difficulties when come to Woh Fatt...same service level like past 10 years ago...only the big boss (I think)..the old fella sitting and eyeing around the shop like CCTV with his serious face...
aunty,mid aged tech. and other staffs quite helpful...by the way the common key is...talk nicely to them....walk carefully.....watch your shoulder(area tu kan sempit..)..and buat2 pandai atau buat2 bodo...tengok barang pun biar nampak serious...pakai selekeh pun tak de hal punya....
beli barang pun tak banyak pun..pilih...pastu bayar...pastu cari dan pilih lagi....bayar lagi...tak berkenan?....ok je diorang...

by the way...sesapa yg ade bajet nk pakai ori Gibson,kat situ got few les paul....stok lama still ada...price range around 3k - 6k..stok lama les paul mostly model yg ade neck 59(60's nyer model la tu)...vixxen ada,goddess ada,natural double cut(P90 pickups) ada,sg..... stok baru ada la dlm 5-6 bijik...price dlm 11k....gibson parts stok 80-90an still ada kt situ...sesapa nk upgrade to ori parts,datang le ...pickup price kt situ mmg mahal nk mamposs.....pots tak byk stok...brand gotoh dgn alpha plak tu....hampess...satu benda pelik aku baru jumpa kt situ......half bone-half brass nut...18 hengget aku beli....nk try taruk kt strat aku.....ntah meletop ke tak tone gitar tu nanti...stok lama peavey effects pon masih ada...tak pernah la plak tgk ada orang pakai...

kat doremi pun ok........macam2 benda yg kedai lain tak ada dia ada...service pun bagusss...

kat bentley bb boring sket...sebab apa ntah? sebab dah ada bentley damansara kot....tp yg best nya...kalau some product kt damansara habis,kat situ still ada lagi..

bentley damansara plak dah jadi adult playground aku.....asal free je mesti aku gi situ...bukan beli pun...testing je lebih...minggu ni sikit...pastu minggu depan plak....staff kt situ pun semua ok...Shah,Hafiz,Andrew(blur memanjang),Bad.....yg lain aku tk kenal sangat(sebab banyak spent beli barang kat situ kut)...buat pengetahuan korang semua...kat damansara tu,diorang lagi suka kalau korang nak test barang2 kat situ sebab diorang leh join sekali...penat gak tu kena berdiri je ...bila layan customer bleh la duduk2 dan join test/belasah sekali effect2/gitar2 yg diorang pun tak sempat nk try....Roland products kt situ mostly setakat tumpang sekaki je letak kat situ,pasal tu diorang tak care sangat...time sale pun mana ada discount...standard 10% ade la kut... icon_idea.gif icon_idea.gif icon_idea.gif icon_rolleyes.gif icon_rolleyes.gif

I went to Woh Fatt to look for guitar before (beginner) as it was near my workplace. So I walked there during lunch, see not much people, and I asked the auntie at the counter whether they have Yamaha guitar. She said "we don't sell Yamaha, but please look around, lots of other brands". And that's it.

Then some guy came over and asked me what am I looking for. He proceeded to tell me a lot about guitars and stuffs and this and that and what I should be looking for. Seems pretty friendly to me actually.

So I'm guessing you just need to speak to the right person to get the right customer service. smile.gif

wah i didnt know the shop sucks so much nowadays, i can agree that the auntie can be quite rude, but the last time i went there, i asked if i can try a sx jazz bass, the guy brought it down for me, plugged into an amp, joked with me about him nt knowing which amp to plug into, and let me try for quite a long time. In the end, i didnt buy and told the guy i wud think about it. then he's still quite nice ar after dat. so i thought the service was quite good, except for the auntie... she was a nightmare.

hmmm...

reading this tread is like either you get treated nicely or not nicely...

i went there twice last week, and its was really good, i was looking at the guitar and they ask me right away wanna try anot, nv even ask i wanna buy anot... then a ask the 1st guy to quote me price for guitar and amp and he gave a great price and got a free set up for me... even gave me free strap, cable and like 4 picks...

then i went back there again with my friend to get is guitar set up, really good price and i bought a guitar stand a nice price also...

Hey guys, even though bentley damansara treats u nicely. But somehow, I wish the guy who layan us would actually let us play it in privacy for about 30 mins or an hour instead of standing or sitting in front or beside us all the time XP

i wonder if u own a music store, would u let every of ur customers try n play the instruments for 30 mins without layan-ing them?

if u really own a music store n provide such service, i would go there everyday to lepak...

2 min walk from Petaling street... it could be anywhere... still dunno... biggrin.gif

I wonder why it has to be WOH FATT... It doesn't sound like a musical instrument shop... more like a kedai runcit...

Pasarmini Woh Fatt <--- biggrin.gif feels right...

Wow, so many negative comments. I am actually planning to go there to buy an acoustic. I guess I'm not going there then.

Can you recommend any guitar shops that sell cheap guitars and got 1st class service? When I asked my friends where are the "big" guitar shops, the only answer I got is Bentley and Woh Fatt. Any other alternative?

i only go woh fatt buy accessories such as tuner, guitar stand, etc, it's cheaper than other retail stores, and my preferred guitar string, which i only can find it in woh fatt, other places don't sell. That's the only reason i go to petaling street area, else i won't go.

guy 2: ini brand epiphone ker?
guy 1: ya, gitar nie epiphone
guy 2: ini gitar pasang kat mana?(he means where's the guitar have been made?korea?china?)
salesperson: pasang masuk amplifier lah
guy 2: oo...aku ingat pasang dekat peti sejuk!!..he said angrily and walk out of the shop...

true... but us musician need a place to spend some time.... people who likes book and reading spend a lot of time at library and bookstore..

We dun have a library... we only have music shop that we can enter for free and spend our time ...

that is why a music store should be kind and friendly to their customers or potential customers...

well, from ur previous post u obviously have never set foot in woh fatt...so i wonder how u can give judgement.
so until u do set foot in woh fatt, u will realise that the place isnt made for lepaking.

and no one said the staff cant be friendly, me and a few others here im sure have never had problems with them.

even the goodiest of institutions like churches also i bet got complain against each other before.

imo, those i think who kena are those who arent serious / real cheapskates and then want to bargain until squeeze the last RM out of them...typical malaysians rite?

Well I have a mix experience. I do agree the salesperson there are not the friendliest ppl around but hey if you count customers to worker ratio you know that woh fatt beats most of the music shops around KL.

I brought my guitar there once(an jackson entry level guitar) and wanted to get some parts for it. The service was slow(many ppl) then I felt kinda insulted also when the sales person kinda boldly looked down on the guitar and compared it with some epis. Well I guess its just bad PR for the ppl there.

But if you know what you're looking for(ie strings, picks) they can give you a good price. And you know that there is where you will find almost any guitar parts(cheap ones).

QUOTE
Jason Lau, 48, is the owner of a music instruments shop, Woh Fatt Music House, which has been there for about 60 years. Lau is the third generation of his family to be there. His forefathers started the business of selling second- hand items at Jalan Silang in the 1930s.

“My grandfather had a shop here in the 1930s. When my father and uncles took over the business in the 60s, they felt that the idea of opening a music instruments shop was a potential for growth and they did it in Jalan Silang itself.

“When I took over the business, I moved to this lot where I am in now. Our family business never left Jalan Silang.” Lau said many traders have come and gone over the years — less than five have continued their family businesses there. “This place here is mostly frequented by foreigners. We have our regular and loyal customers who come back to us.” He still operates old-school style, open only till 7pm and closed on Sundays and public holidays.

Just the dude with the long hair. The rest are ok. Last time I went there to get LTD EC-50 (Les Paul). So this sales girl was "serving" thumbup.gif me. I was there for about... 1 hour to test a few of the same model. For that one hour, that fella staring at me, while practicing his guitar. Think he was practicing shredding. And you know how irritating an electric guitar can get when it's not plugged in. Only reason why I never walked out empty handed was cause of that girl.

Out of 20 malaysians, 18 like to ask alot of crap(I.e. How come so expensive?). Out of this 18 16 like to bargain the price. Out of this 16 , 11 of them likes to test(Could take literally hours). Out of 11 of this 10 of them will always say "Err... maybe i come back next time to buy".
And of course the remaining one will walk out of the shop with what they want.

my friend says they sell some old fenders, lol but might be just 1 or 2

woh fatt deals with the budget guitar player, tho they carry gibsons most of their guitars are no where near "branded". thus one can expect teh customer service to be meh, it slike going to target and expecting a marks and spencer

wohfatt .. has the no money no talk policy
especially those aunties
those uncle are better

i onli go there for their cheap acoustic guitar, its much more cheaper than bentley bb ..
last time they told me .. if i buy guitar there service 1 year free
then the 2nd time i go back . they say need to charge
n then .. like they do .. keep telling me the action is very low already ..
actually still damn high

at bentley bb .. for small things i wana repair .. they wanna charge rm 50
show me lanci face . n say thats the minimum charge.

the music shop in bukit bintang 3rd floor i think .. its super good
they charge me 10 bucks oli to fix pickup .. n set the truss rod. n fix new strings ..

I went to Woh Fatt today to get some spare drum parts. The service was very good, the people were very nice, and the man who helped me out was very friendly and reduced my total price from RM24 to RM22, without me asking. Sure 10% like that is not that much, but it's a very nice gesture. smile.gif

The stuff they sell there are also really cool. They have lots of cool stuff and I thought it was really cool. Especially the Hofner Bass in the back. drool.gif

The store and that area is grungy and looks kinda dodgy though, but if you can overlook that, it's a great shop. biggrin.gif

I bought my first ever guitar at woh fatt.....service ok lar..... bought some drums skins there before also... quite frenly... when you want to buy stuff they will be nice with you.

Bently BB memang macam babi..especialy the ground floor one...lanci habis..there was this once i was there, their shop closes at 7pm i think tat day, so we went in lar, the guy keep staring at us with the muka 5 sen. then he told us, ''we are closing soon you know.''with very unfrenly voice...wtf....

guitar collection-memang macam babi....lansi to the max!!!!!

Bentley mutiara is ok lar.... no complain.

Chambers music(3rd floor sungai wang) - very frenly

The shop in Mid Valley(the one near to centre court) - also lansi to the max, once i wanted to try on the v drums, he tak bagi---then after i left i saw one dude play on the v drums banging like hell....wtf

guitar collection - all always buat buat tak layansss..... wanto buy things such as strings, capo at the coutner, knowing im staring at the stuff for 1 minutes they also buat buat tak tau..... must jemput them then only they layan..

the best is this shop in damansara perdana - designer music - the boss very frenly, explain everything about the instrument - even offering discounts up to 10 %....haha.... but they don keep stock though.. he ask me to go to bently and try out the guitars, then if like can call him and make orders....

peace....

Meet in Bentley (somewhere in Subang-Damansara one) after my SPM? biggrin.gif I'm going with my friends, I haven't been there before, one of them said it's a guitar heaven and so I'm so damn interested now. I don't mind if I can't buy any guitars from them yet, but am still gonna have a look at the guitars. So uhm, is it really the guitarist/musician heaven? biggrin.gif

Heh. Guitar Collection, the one in Sunway and Mid Valley? I went to the Sunway one, I'm just gonna say it's a WTF shop. I tested, really good and all, the sound of course, and when I wanted to put it back, the shopkeeper sorta snatched it from me but in a nice way so it wouldn't look like he's unhappy.

Maybe he scared you put wrong, then when you walk out, the door swing causes a wind draft that could cause that guitar to topple. And the domino effect happens! and before he can do anything, you're probably the other corner of Pyramid already drool.gif

Oh i see. Then I have been there once to buy some books.

The boss said gave me discount for the Beethoven sonata music scores and a free manuscript. At the end I find Kinokunia's much cheaper than his.

14-year-old ; Salesperson : Alah, 14yo only, no money buy wan lah (means you just come see see even tho you have visited before).. No parents, sure no money buy for now. No need layan...

I think that's their first impression to a teenager who comes without an adult. Wait til I go in with a cheque book and without them knowing (of course), see they layan or not. :3

True. Without an adult they wont layan wan. I saw an angmoh and his son there. Walao, i think they were layan-ed by the manager. He looked like one. sweat.gif Then can hear the manager whisper.

I went there before, not bad la the service. As far as I can remember, one oldish lady was quite helpful when I went to get a guitar for my brother. She even let me test it. I also went there to do some wiring long time ago. Quite pricy but the wiring worked. No complaints there. But there was also a time I went in, and nobody layan me. I was just browsing around so it's ok la I guess. The only thing I can say is that Woh Fatt sells cheap guitars and their more expensive ones are kept in a glass case so since I won't settle for the cheaper guitars and can't afford the more expensive ones, I don't see myself going back to buy my 2nd guitar.

That's ridiculous, takkan wanna berkira till like that? I remember once when I was about to try the G-400, and I was about to use my pick and the chinese dude told me cannot use pick and in fact kept on playing the guitar instead of letting me try it. I think I tested it for only about a minute then he grabs it and plays every god damn Metallica riff. As if he's the one who's gonna buy it instead of me. It's a big turn off when they treat customers like that.

Haha, a chinese dude? Idk about him lol. I know the boss is a chinese lol.
The guy who helped me was a malay dude, lol, he gave me a pick to play. AHHAHA, BUT ONE THING THAT REALLY HIT ME. They use like some old paper, and some cellophane tape to cover the pickguard while you're playing.LOL, that was a first for me. sweat.gif
But the malay dude, was really nice, he plays it first, let you listen to how it really sounds like, then he'll give it to you, for your own musical preference.
Go and ask for him! His name is Din, abit buff and has long hair, shoulderlength. smile.gif

Give it another try! Haha, serious, ask for Din. He's the best ever. I was just walking around looking for a guitar, and he straight came to me, asking do i need anything eventhough he knew i was just a 14 year old with no cash at hand. haha.
AND I JUST REMEMBERED! I wanted to try the Epiphone Les Paul Custom. And he said, that i cannot play it with the amp, after his boss make noise. *He was making a annoyed face at his boss* LOL. But he still, brought it, plugged it in, played it for a while, show its capabilities, and handed it to me. I was like, your boss leh? He said, aiyah, take only la. HAHHA. he was so nice.

Only the boss was abit, hahhahaa, i was playing on their Les Paul Custom when he came and said, "Sir, cannot let you play too long, after have to change the strings."
LOL. i thought to myself, "Ill just buy you a new set of strings if you're so cheapo. LOL" sweat.gif

Haha, I've been there a few times and all those times, when I asked to demo something, the sales person played the instrument himself. I mean, is he trying to sell something to himself?

Anyway, at least they don't ask you for a deposit - unlike some places...

i've been there quite a lot of time, agree that Din is one friendly guy, he likes to play 'more than words' everytime i ask him to demo acoustic guitar. lol. Another sales person which is the skinny funny guy looked blur when i ask him about the price and instrument specs, but he's not bad la while doin demo. I've never bought anything from this shop though.. overpriced..

Just to share my opinions.

I just called them to inquire about a price of a guitar model.

Someone answered in a very impatient and rude manner.

me: do you sell hofma guitars?
wf: yes
me: Do you sell the model 302
wf: no stock
me: how much is it?
wf: can't remember
me: hm, can you check please?
wf: no can't remember and no stock anyway
me: errr ( I was quite shocked at this point that he had this screw you attitude)
wf: furthermore we do not tell prices over the phone.
me: ..... ok thanks bye.

I am still at the state of shock! I just don't understand how businesses can afford to treat their customers like this.

He didn't even have the courtesy to treat me with respect and I wasn't even asking for much.

But if anyone knows how much this model cost please tell me! Thanks

Woh fatt is wholesale, unlike bently and other guitar shops which focusing on retail, that's why woh fatt customers service not that good. By the way, woh fatt stuffs aren't very cheap though.

Woh Fatt has been around for three decades.
The "uncles" who had been operating it then
must be gone by now.

A "Chinaman" business, not exactly known for their
customer etiquette.


http://www.mmail.com.my/content/15310-it%E...refund-woh-fatt


Anyway, that was where I bought the Pearl distortion
and Guyatone Guitar Exciter pedals in 1986, for
that young guy to encourage him in his interest.

The Pearl was a hopeless distortion, and the "Spectrum"
and "Mode" controls seemed to have hardly any effect
on the hard, thin sound.

most probably my reply to woh fatt will be:

frankly the no refund or return policy doesn't count if it is stated on the receipt. It's because the customer would only know about the policy once he/she has paid and upon looking at the receipt. by that time, it is too late as he/she has departed with their hard earn cash. if woh fatt is ethical, they would have put up the sign visible to all at their shops to inform customers before the customer part with their money.

Yes, I've been told that the typical small print
"Goods Sold Are Not Refundable Nor Exchangeable"
clause on most receipts are actually illegal or invalid
under the trade laws.

If it were allowed to hold water, then anyone could
technically give you a bicycle after you have paid for
a car, quote this clause, telling you that it's your problem,
and get away with it !

Section 5 of the Trade Description Act, 1972, deals with
misrepresentation of products (which, in plain English,
means cheating or fraud).

It's true they are nicer to girls. When one of my female friend went there to buy Saxophone Reed...she was treated with a lotta respect and courtesy. wub.gif

When my guy friend went there...damn...he got a totally different treatment! mad.gif

I've made a couple of excursions to Bentley The Curve, 1st time was superb VIP treatment even though I bought nothing. Maybe it was because the store assistant was a new guy? Maybe it was my Wacken t-shirt? I dunno.

Second time I was left to myself but got to have my way with all the gear around there. I just go to the staff, ask for guitar cable and pick (lolololol damn tak malu!!!!! sweat.gif ) and parked my ass in front of a H&K Edition Blue 30W for the whole afternoon while sawing away at a whole wall of guitars. Went thru a bunch of Charvels, Jacksons and Sterlings.

In ALL instances it was a young staff member that I end up talking to. I notice the old timers tend to only bother layan-ing the anak Datuk's - kids who came with parents who appear to be loaded.

Well, to be honest I don't really fancy buying the guitars at Bentley, as you guys pointed out, it really is marked up. Hehehe go there try try try until syiok, then order thru LYN trader. Much cheaper. U know, if everybody does this, retailers will all die hehehehe

talking about service, I stepped foot the first time at JSMusic last december to buy drums. This guy Apai is so friendly, such a nice guy. Few times I go also I get same friendly statement. CKMusic also the young malay lads are friendly. I wonder where is Hafiz at bentley now ? GuitarCollection at midvalley, just focused on playing their computer for dunno what reason, no hello or welcome. I dislike the yamaha stores at midvalley and curve. euphony music at ikano, bad experience with one lady, but one guy there has been giving a service with a smile

i was at GC midvalley yesterday. Exactly as mentioned above, the one guy in the shop was bz watching gay porn on the computer n boh layan me. Asked him how much was one of the Eclipse ESPs after discount, he said 9k......wtf?! Doesnt make sense. After he went back to his smut, i tried looking for a price tag. Turned out it was 7.1k. Gay porn is bad for ur eyesight.

Thing is, I checked the same model at another shop and I promptly get a quote of <6k. 6 vs. 9 + shitty service = no contest.

Last post was 2012? 😅

Nevermind.

I've only been into the shop once. Way back in 1991. Had around 2k plus some change in my pocket looking for a LP (GNR was the biggest band in the universe at that time). The cheapest I see for a LP was 2500 or something.

Walk out and took a cab to Bkt Bintang and got me a Strat at Bentley plus amp and Metal Zone for around 1.8k. 😁

Plc : At its CCK shop after Jln Silang fire.
Date : 24/2/23
Time : 13:30
Be prepared to be shouted at for just being there!
The moment i stepped in, i was greeted by a fat ass jabbar-like (cld b the owner) with a sour face shouting "Hey, what u want! U know u cant come in! Wait outside & tell us what u want!".
I was so shocked & felt like a criminal before i even open my mouth.
Another elderly woman who also sounded harsh reiterated that i wait outside & tell her what i want.
I told her no nid & went off.
Not sure bout other ppl who might think this plc is a bargain but not me.
Just to save few bucks in return being treated like a criminal?!
Instead, I went to Jln Pasar & got me all i wanted. No way i m buying again frm this shithole managed by old & grumpy sickos who think d world owes them their youth!
