i think the iron cobra will not even last longer than 2 hours of blastbeating haha

it's called greed, my friend. people will do anything to be rich in a short period of time, hence all these cons

I (naively) beLIEve that we as a consumer have the power to stop these fake guitars from becoming mainstream.

Wishful thinking, i know.

I think this fender is fake. it's more than 1/2 the price of the cheapest original fender.

guess where it's from??

Wah.. Fender rm1200. Confirm fake already.

it's hard la to stop it,because it never will stop.
everything nowadays can be counterfeited.
even the iron cobra you guys were talking about confirm dah kena copy kot.
it's just how it is la.
but it's threads like this that make it better ;
we're helping our fellow musician.which rocks

Ya lo...Very2 Cheap and new....This is China guitar...More cheaper then RM1200

The original guitar distributors in Malaysia are:

Bentley Music: Fender, Ibanez, PRS, Jackson, Takamine, Taylor

The Guitar Store: Godin, Maton, Norman

The Guitar Galeri: ESP, Seagull, Martin & Co.

Ultimate Music: Schecter

Menuetto Music: Gibson, Epiphone, Cort


any i miss out?

the only official distributor for epiphone and gibson is in singapore bro,
the swee lee company.

yes you are right. i checked swee lee and they supply to menuetto. well, for those who don't wanna travel all the way to singapore, they can get from menuetto.

a man who does his research..i like it

how much does it cost for an epi les paul standard and a les paul custom there?

russellhere, sweelee is the same as bentley.. poor service with a big price tag.. beside menuetto, they supply to TGS also..

WWJD, fyi the fake fender dealer price is only 400.. u can see how much the faker gets.. dats y dis faker grew their shop big n fast..
plus, for me fake squire is better than the fake fender..

I agree with you, noobaxe. i rather own a no brand guitar than to have a fake fender or gibson.

which shop is that if i may know? care to share info? coz im from miri too

i bought my ibanez acoustic there.
love the guitar,hate the place.
kinda regretted it,but meh,you learn from mistaeks (:

most people are avoiding from buying their equipments at an authorized dealer is because of the price tag. (I don't know why the price is more expensive from other resellers)

Then they (parents,newbies,etc) go to this small music shop, and with zero knowledge, they bought the equipment without knowing its fake. and this is how these people run their business.
