Another option is SX, their guitars are good and cheap. i'm using a SX ash Strat copy, better then Squier man!

Nah .. she got no choice .. told her, if the Craftsman is not good enough for her, wait till she earns her own money and upgrade it later Bought her an ST130 today from CK Music .. surely she is the happiest person on earth today ..

A good tips .. thanks ..  . Just received the Farida price list from the guitar store but it's a little expensive, more than Rm 1000.  .
Wah .. this is the hard part for the beginner or amatuer like me. Only professional know how to do this, perhaps?

If there's only 1 guitar of the model left, but it have a little defects like crack joints. Is it possible they keep another undefect model in the store until the defected guitar sold for the unlucky customer?

yeah true ...

Singapore isn't thattt cheap lah...

if you are there for a holiday ...then u buy something back..that is fine..

but traveling there all the way and get gears ..is damn not worth it ..i rather go bentley and bargain my ass off..

He said he wants something small because he moves around..... so the microcube is the best bet.

Not really big on genre-classification, but I think it's under progressive
The upper neck access needs some getting used to...
As in hard to play notes on higher frets, but still playable though...

Just dropped by Bentley today, and took the chance to check out the new Classic Vibe Squiers. The 50's Tele looked especially sexy, with a Mary Kay blonde finish on the pine body. The grains on the back are quite visible, and with the black guard, I could pretend it's an Esquire. Neck is glossed maple, no sharp fret ends, neck joint was good and tight. It even comes with the brass vintage saddles.

The 50's Strat neck was similar to the Tele, but the trem block was smaller than the pre-06 MIM Strats. Sunburst could be better, as on the upper back contour it was black all over. I didn't touch the 60's much, but I thought the tortoiseshell PG kind of cheap, and the dry rosewood board unappealing, although lemon oil could help.

I didn't test the intonation and sound through the amps as I was in a hurry, but overall, from first impressions, I think Squier hit paydirt with this new line.

They all retail for RM1390, Chinese made.
