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.As for what I think of Woh Fatt, I've been there only three times - twice I was not treated very well.
