Here we all know, our instruments are expensive. Me being a student. It's worse.
 But, we also do know, that 'cheap' guitars, can surprisingly sound and feel good...and can put up a decent fight against their more expensive counterparts. These guitars, well to me...are gems in the rough. Maybe we could all share ideas about cheap guitars that are well above decent...if possible...very good. Might try and keep the price range under 800. ( ok ok..i want a cheap 300 dollar guitar that plays like 3000...  ) |

lol...
You can't go wrong with SX guitars. Cheap stuff with good tones. Sounded better than most of the Squiers and some said it beat some of the lower line Fender too. 300 bux for 3.0k sounding guitar...hahahah...ok, once in a while, there would be some idiot in this world would sell an awesome top of the line guitar for like couple of hundreads. My guitarist got his RG which should cost 2.1k for like RM 400 and this one old legendary story where some fella sell his Fender American Strat (in good condition mind u) for RM 600. Why laa thiss pple...  |

hello there,
i want to buy an acostic guitar. budget rm400+ to rm600+. I wonder if you all can help me by suggesting some nice, good for value models. i hv seen the following : 1) yamaha f310, around rm400+, indo made 2) garrison, china made, good review fr thestar.com.my .. but alas .. rm850 3) santa cruz, china made, cheap ... but no impresssion from the above three, i wud probably log in that yamaha f310, but my impression, yamaha makes pretty decent entry level classical guitars eg c70 or c80 but entry level acoustic guitars are not their forte. for a similar budget, i somehow think that there are better models out there, maybe a canadian or states made guitar round rm500+ to rm600+??? Appreciate your help and suggestions please. Thank you. eye |

bought my GAX70 at rm600 at bentley last year or so.. should be much cheaper by now.. looks great to me.. the sustain is quite long and looks good among other cheap guitars.. in other words.. i chose it over the squiers mainly bcause of the looks cos i didnt know that much about guitars back then.. hehe

But before u get an Ibanez or Squier, take some time and test out SX guitars...it might worth the extra effort. Follow your ear and heart  |

I don't think you could find Tokai anywhere here.
Ishibashi :http://www.excite.co.jp/world/english/web/...p=JAEN&wb_dis=2 Send an email to them, perhaps they could get you the ZW model. Fernandes's sister company Burny makes good Gibson copies too : http://www.excite.co.jp/world/english/web/...p=JAEN&wb_dis=2 Forget about Gibson, unless it's pre-80s ones, imo.

HA! One flaw on the tokai!!! NO SELECTOR SWITCH PLATE!!!! HA HA HA HA!!
ok..... I'm over it now..... In all other sense, yeah, it looks DAMN good. Except that it's PURE white, and the Gibson Les Paul is more towards a Vanilla colored white..... Yes.... I'm nit-picking..... but you can't blame me.... I'm a Zakk Fanatic! |

QUOTE(ssslayerrr @ Jun 27 2005, 11:10 AM) No, really. We thought that it was funny, this guy opens a shop in KK and carries these, 'not usual' brands, like tokai (the talbo cost about 6 k, i remember, all metal), Hughs & kettner, rotosound strings, and wind instruments. We asked him if he was making money, he said no, but his parents want to keep him in KK so they just keep dumping money into the shop. Dumping was the word he used. Next, he wanted to distribute Gretsch guitars, went to germany and all that. that's the life, man. not worrying abt money, abt whether your shop sells or not. but you get to do something you love. |

QUOTE(ssslayerrr @ Jun 27 2005, 11:10 AM) No, really. We thought that it was funny, this guy opens a shop in KK and carries these, 'not usual' brands, like tokai (the talbo cost about 6 k, i remember, all metal), Hughs & kettner, rotosound strings, and wind instruments. We asked him if he was making money, he said no, but his parents want to keep him in KK so they just keep dumping money into the shop. Dumping was the word he used. Next, he wanted to distribute Gretsch guitars, went to germany and all that. Wow! QUOTE(Pix @ Jun 27 2005, 01:29 PM) nick drake > i think the pre-amp is ONE tube + solid state, and the power amp is solid state... otherwise, it won't be at the price you got it Exactly what I thought. The signal goes into a valve preamp before the solid state circuit.Nonetheless, the clips posted on their website are tempting! Does anyone knows where to find this Vox amp? CKMusic?? I've tried the smaller version (30 watts I think) of Spider II and wasn't really impressed by the sound. |

Plus, their customer service's pretty good as far as I know. Most of the Jap made stuff are cheaper, the rest's pretty much the same (or more). |

i''m not sure anyone on this forum is from Malacca... maybe you should do a short trip to KL, you may find good bargains there. How much do you want to spend on your bass ? and what about the amp ?

I did the same thing too when I first got my guitar, spend more on the guitar ... spend the half the amount on an amp (Fender FrontMan 15W).

xnobys, i check with some shops around KL and with some of my friends .... the price for an american made standard strat ranging from Rm18xx to Rm25xx. It's aslo depends on where you buy (either at Bentley Music or some other hidden shops) and which colour model you're planning to get.
Brown Sunburst Standard Stratocaster with Rosewood Fingerboard is the most expensive one of the Standard Stratocaster because of it's colour. Well, all Sunburst have to add another $50USD ... but it looks nice.  You might want to ask other forumers here if they know any shops selling cheaper. But take the Rm18xx to Rm25xx as a budget range. |

i think my guitar and amp belongs in this category.
mine is a yamaha electric guitar beginner's set, a yamaha ERG-121 and a GA 10, along with tuner, strings, picks, truss rod adjustments and gizmos for rm950. allow me to do a mini review on this package, ya? the amp should be avoided like the plague. yes, it works extremely good for beginners. the distortion's fine, the clean's good. no overdrive though. a 10 watter. it worked fine for me TILL I joined guitar classes earlier this year. where i learnt the techniques and stuff. after all that, the shortcomings of the amp are really shown. for instance, palm muting sounds like fart on that. yeah, i'm not joking. and pings don't ring alot, just a short ping, for about 2 secs, 5 at most. though it might not matter to some. lol. but the muting farting sound is really a letdown. i got a KLA-20R from a friend which works alot better (MUCH!) but then he took it back for a small gig in school. meh. so i'm stuck with it now. and i'm not liking it. just telling myself that at least i have a damn amp. lol. market value is about rm320 i think. as for the ERG-121, it's okay. much better than other guitars. looks mean. black finish. H-S-H lineup. the bridge humbucker sounds really solid, the single coil sounds decent while the neck isn't really my choice. the vintage trem bridge works fine too. only retune about once a month. pickup switch is a lil bit flawed. when u switch pickups in d middle of a song, this small "pop" sound can be heard. it's body is agathis, neck maple while fingerboard mahogany. no qualms about the fingerboard and action, just okay for it's price. i daresay a change of pickups would further increase the quality of the sound. not sure about the market price, but the guitar is really good for the package. just change the stupid amp. |

You see nerd... it's called the 'practise' amp, you weren't expecting it to sound like a 100-watt Marshall amp blasting behind you, are you? It's meant to be used for bedroom/midnight practise (Read : Low-volume) & maybe party/small gigs & that's what it does. Most practise amps are the same I think. Like my Peavey Blazer, the clean's great but the OD channel's almost unusable.
If you really want good tones on a small practice amp, I suggest you try out the Vox AD15VT. It comes with 11 amp models (Boutique Clean & OD, Tweed, Blackface, AC15, AC30TB, UK70s, UK80s, UK Modern, US High Gain, NuMetal) CK Music has it, it's probably a little more expensive but worth the bucks imo. Well, just give it a try anyway & recommend it to other players. |

Have you tried the clean channel on the Kustom? I'm not too sure about their amps, but if their clean channel's good, then it's bloody good.

anyway, i think the ad60vt's too expensive lol. my dad'll flip when he sees the price. i think it's about 700USD? and that's without tax here.. maybe the cube 60 will suit d budget.. 230 pounds.. not meaning to brag, for those who think i am.. hopefully i can replace my GA-10 ASAP if i don't get 10A1s guess i'll fork out my duit raya after spm to get a MS-2 lol. or maybe get the KGR 16 anyway, to avoid running offtopic, viking amps are another hybrid to be avoided. they got overdrive but it's extremely muddy. IMO, the best starter amps (about 10-20W) are squier's, ibanez, and kustoms. |

Kustom amps are really good for the low-range. Their Distortion is actually pretty good...... especially if you pair it up with a Overdrive pedal......
And don't worry too much nerd...... I only got 1A..... hahahahaha..... but still averaged out a Grade 2..... mine was the "last of worst" batch, so I got away lucky. heck.... I even failed EVERY SINGLE SUBJECT (save English and BM... hahahah) during the trials. And STILL got accepted to both HELP institute AND MMU by the way. |

The AD50VT's going for RM1200++ best price and the 60VT is much more expensive I think. Haha... I'm waiting for Ang Paus here haha. Let's visit each other to double our money. XD XD XD Not to forget ssslayerrr and ModD.
Behringer has a pretty good starter amp too. The clean tone on that one is extremely warm, the OD channel's pretty usable too. |

AD50VT rm1200? cun lah. my target list.
but according to reviews, the mesa modeller sounds kinda digital compared to the roland cube. the mesa modeller is what i'm craving.. i'm a metallica guy.. oh of coz the jcm800 modeller is another one i'm looking for.. one more month b4 trials, can i make it? i'm doing okay, just failed addmaths for my midterm.. 2A1s, 1F, and a lil bit in between.. when choosing my electric guitar, my dad tried the behringer and didn't like it (that time i knew nuts about guitar). true kustoms are more towards the value-for-money range. really sweet sounding for the price. havent tried the higher end ones though. played with the 10W, 16W and 20W ones and they sound really nice. agreed will rock if paired with an OD pedal.

Honestly...... The SD-1 Overdrive pedal is a great value if you can find it at a good price......
Of course.... if you got the cash....... go for the ZW-44 so you can get a little more headroom in the overdrive department. |

do consider whether are you going to need that xtra volume
an AD50 is not much louder thanan AD30... a 300w amp is only twice as loud as a 30w amp... im sure some1 here has mentioned it before summor if its strictly for bedroom practice it'll be pretty damn loud and if its for jamming with a drummer... a 50w SS isnt powerful enough for that |

I used my 15 watter for medium gigs and it worked fine lol! The AD50VT's good enough for small to medium gigs (After all, you're cranking the damn thing up!). In case you're playing in larger venues, just mic the thing up.
If you're still in doubt, the thing comes with a speaker output. Eg. If you want a true Marshall amp sound, just hook it up to one of those Marshall 4x12 cabs & voila! Bedroom practises??? Turn to the back of the AD50VT and you'ill see an 'Adjustable Output Wattage' (Not available in the AD15VT tho). It saturates the poweramp's output wattage . In other words, it's a volume control. This means that you could crank the amp up at bedroom level. You don't have to substitute tone for volume now!!! Otherwise get a pair of headphones and plug it into the phones out. Your neighbours will love you. I've done my homework Evo.com I've downloaded all the video clips, audio clips and even the manual from various places. If you guys want, I can upload as a torrent and post it here. Oh yeah, the AD50VT has a hidden noise gate too. It's only touched lightly in the manual. |

No joke. Remember our school hall? Suan Aik used his Peavey amps for all his gigs too. Sometimes he mic it up, sometimes he doesn't, but it was loud enough. But it won't sound as good as being mic'ed up. Then again you know our school's PA.
LOL I only check out that stuff I'm considering getting. I've tried the Line 6 30watt Spider and it has an impressive clean sound. The Metal setting's pretty good but I have no use for that. I tried the AD30VT but didn't find much love with it, determined to try that again! |

wah led zep. mmg awesome info! thx alot! yeah another feature that sets the AD50 and the AD30 is the external speaker support.. who cares if it doest supply enough wattage for gigs? there's the external speaker support.. and for now, i'm not doing gigs, heck, i dont even haf a proper band..
erm, ledzep, can give ur opinion on the mesa modeller of the vox? and what's a noise gate? This post has been edited by nerd: Jul 31 2005, 05:27 PM |

Haha... my ears are not that goodlar... to my ears the Tweed, Black, Boutique Clean settings sound very very impressive (Blues guitarists will love this). I wasn't very sure about the rest, not much time to play with them that day. Though I've read reviews saying that the HiGain models are very impressive, especially the nu-metal settings which nail the scooped-mid sound perfectly.
nick_drake has the AD30VT, perhaps you should ask him for comments. Do you want the clips? It won't take long for me to post. |

Oh really? Hah... I wanna try osolar lol... somehow trying it in guitar stores doesn't cut it.
Noise gate's a noise eliminator, you'ill lose some sustain if you turn up the nose gate. Just turn if off if you wanna hear the amp models in full potential. Btw, CK Music doesn't have the AD50VT in stock. You probably have to order it at least 1 month in advance heh. When are you getting it? Early next year? If so, we both go orderlar lol. |

Hah, don't be like me. Focus on studies now and don't let GAS occupy your time.
If you're getting it earlier, mind if I drop by to give it a test run? Forgotten about the AD15VT. The AD30VT's RM900 after discount tho (Retail RM1000). So the 15 should be RM500-700 lar heh. |

wah...a lot of talk on the ad series! cool!...
ok since led zep has the ad 50..and has given much info abt it...im not going to say much. but, its an 8 ohm output right? it wont handle 4x12s i heard..only 2X12s...correct me if im wrong. the ad30 doesnt hv a speaker out. it is very very loud and can be miked up and everything will be okay. i hv asked the guitarist of local indie band 'flatline', he owns the same amp too and i saw him gig with the ad30. he said its loud enough for small/medium clubs with ease. anything larger...mike. there u go. honestly, i was torn between the ad50 and 30 before buying...but due to money, i just got the ad30. but im very satisfied.nerd: the noise gate shuns out unwanted buzz...but also eats ur sustain,(its adjustable, just find ur sweet spot) if u back off the volume knob, clean sounds are hard to achieve. normally i turn it off.(noise gate). the mesa modeller is good. its my fav actually. i use it the most. u hv to really tinker with the eq knobs to get a sweet spot out of it. and u hv to keep tinkering at different volumes.i found that out just today when i cranked it up at my bassists and found it too sharp. other than that..the tone is great. dynamics are good too. considering the poweramp tube. the perfect place for a tube in a hybrid. other than the mesa, i favor the jcm 800 and ac30 models too. but its ultimately ur taste lahhh... *anything else u wanna knw...feel free to ask me. test drive..sure This post has been edited by nick_drake: Jul 31 2005, 08:40 PM |

yah..i knw...thts why i just edited that post.
yes! tinker the hell outta that eq. and the gain levels too. with the mesa, the gain is tremendous. so i just leave it at 11 oclock..i can get enough crunch for my pop rock..but not so with ur metal. another thing with the ad30 and 50(not 15) , is that u crank up the two volume knobs. master and volume. this cooks the power tube..in a good way. then use the wattage selector behind to control the volume. this is actually advocated by the folks at vox itself in the manual. so u get that tuuubeeey like scream!:D sorry. im just so excited over my baby. |

no nerd. many ppl mistake the ad's tube to be in the preamp section. it is a preamp tube tho..but stuck at the power amp stage of the circuit. if u read the manual online, u'll find out more. digital modeling preamp for tone+tube power amp for warmth=sex.
but it actually is more complicated..the manual will get u all geeky. http://www.voxamps.co.uk/downloads/AD15_30_50VT_E2.pdf |

I've tried the Spider twice, first time I tried, I was totally turned off by it. But the second time it hold up pretty well. I didn't like the Crunch channel though, very digital sounding imho.
I didn't know that the tube's stuck in the power-amp stage heh. nick_drake you're not planning to change your speakers? Anyway can I come along for the test drive ar? Do you mind? I really wanna spend more time with it, I was rushing time the other day (went for the Faders' performance) & I couldn't get a good tone from the UK70s and AC30 models. Like I've said above, I loved the clean tones, the Tweed and Black models are very sweet. Reverb's pretty good too. Anyway I agree with you nick_drake, the presets suck, I turn it off immediately that day. |

Haha Your teh tarik want kurang manis onot? XD Try listening your amp through headphones and see if there's a huge difference in tonal quality. I'm not sure how much a speaker would cost too, probably RM200-400. I do know that the Celestion Blue speaker would cost you a bomb tho. Then again, if you're only using the Mesa settings and if the Mesa sounds good on the stock speaker, just leave it that way.

Guys, i saw this Suzuki brand guitar with pickup and all at RM 580 - the sound is acceptable to me (though didn't get to fully test it).
was wondering if you guys have any comments on this particular brand? i saw it at The Guitar Shop, Damansara Perdana branch when i was sending an Ibanez for repair/servicing. |

Here the list of amps I think worth checking outlar, whether it suits you or not it's up to you to decide :- Vox AD15VT (nick_drake has one, he loves it I think) - Roland Cube 15/30(evo.com has the 15 one, any opinions evo?) - Tech 21 Trademark 15 - Epiphone Valve Junior (It comes with only one volume control and if you want a good valve sound at a cheap price, this one should be it. If it's available locally, that is.) If you have the time, check out the Marshall MG15CD, the new Fender G-Dec, Behringer Firebird(Surprisingly warm clean tone)/Vintager, Peavey Rage/Blazer, Line 6 Spider II as well. Good luck with your search! |

nickdrake has the ad30VT
anyway, like ledzep said, the vox AD15 or roland cube 15 are good bargains. try 'em out! |

roland cubes and voxads are by far the best for value imo
ofcuz if you like that marshall crunch you can always go for the MGs personally i like the voxad and roland cube better ive got the cube 15 and yea im quite satisfied with it... i mean cmon... for RM500... what is there to complain dist isnt the best i must say.... but the cleans are just wonderful... pros: very nice cleans.... even at low volumn cons: no reverb, bad headphone out(fuzzy) cube 30 much better..... but hell..... i dont think its worth the extra 500 for bedroom use ive only tried the voxAD30 and 60 slightly better than the cube because of the amp sims... ive nv tried an AC30 so i cant comment on how it compares with the real thing... obviously its not going to be as good as the original but i guess its alright... try the cube at bentley.... and the AD at ckmusic.... the salesperson aint gonna bite you.... well maybe the bentley guys will but hey... who goes to KL without a knife |

You want with amp with that bugget ? Or just the guitar alone ? SX guitars are affordable with good workmanship plus it plays well. Do goggle around for that brand. You can get a good SX guitar for under Rm2000. |

The Yamaha Pacifica range are superb guitars. Any model within your budget should be a serious candidate imo.
Anyway, the new RGX models not only look great, but (apparently) sound good too. The thing about Yamaha guitars is that 'you get what you pay for'. And if you don't believe it, go down to Combo Mix and try one out. |

All of them, if you're unsure what guitar you want, the 112 is the safest bet. However, all of them give you a good deal for your money. If you can afford them, that is.
The thing is that our local Yammy guitars are made in Indonesia, I dunno if that makes a vast difference, but I thought just so you know anyway. |

Yo Angeling, you said you like Slow rock? or Rock? then you're safest bet is a Tele IMO. An LP is not as versatile as some ppl think. But a Tele can get closest to that "normal guitar" sound you were talking about- Mexican Teles are beautiful and costs around 2K. Or you can always buy a Squire/SX Tele which I have had great experiences with. Teles are great for strumming and EXTREMELY versatile! how's the XS LP standard? how's the sound?   |

angeling>> since u r new to guitar, i would advise u to avoid choosing guitars with trem/ floyd rose . tuning / restring them is sometimes pain in the arse. i think the strat is a pretty good choice! Well, i know u like LP guitars (seeing that u 've brought up quite a few times), but bear in mind that it is VERY heavy, n limited access to higher frets. but if u like thick, warm tone, then nothing beats the les paul!

Hmm... since you're new to guitar, try checking out the new Fender G-Dec amp. Basically it's a digital-modelling amp with a 'band' in it. There're some presets for drums & rhythm patterns inside, great for keeping up with the beat.
& I second evo.com's choice of amps : Vox AD15VT & Roland Cube 15. |

Just so you know, the advice "Any Pacifica within your budget should be considered as they are value guitars" is not taken from my mouth, but Guitarist magazine itself, which is a magazine focusing on gear reviews.
As I've said, go out there any try as many guitars as you can, remember to use your ears, not your eyes. |

With harmony-central it's always good to filter out noob reviews &those are ones who usually uses vocabulary like "this guitar rocks!!" etc etc. I usually pay more attention to players who have play for more than 10 years and have owned lots of gears.
Anyway, always keep in mind that everyone has different taste, so don't buy into positive reviews too easily. |

No matter what other people say, it's their own personal preference. |

but it sure helps to know what otheers think....
especially when it comes to durability... and stuff like power supplies etc and reviews are really useful for beginners or 1st timers when it comes to purchasing guitars and amps... especialy when you're spending 2-3000 |

as for me.. i check the reviews on durability more than sound.. coz it's important, durability is objective, while sound is subjective.
get what i mean? |

If her budget's so high she should consider the Fender MIA and MIJ strats, the MIM ones are good but I personally think the MIJ ones are the best. I'm not really sure about Ibanez, the thing is that they're not built as good as they used to be but heck, they give you a bang for your buck.i ask this is for my own good too...by the way i can have much choices b4 i take pacifica..... |

if you're into acoustic guitars, try the following brands:-
marvelle they have this particular model called the JD rheme series which is about RM200. very good entry level guitar. lotsa music shops are retailing this guitar so it's pretty easy to find fina woh fatt's in house brand. manufactured in china. not too bad. price ranges from RM200 - RM500. my fren bought 1 & i think it's worth every buck. SX i don't really need to say anything more... for electric guitars, if i had a budget of RM500 i will only buy a SX & nothing else. guess that speaks volume about how i rate this brand huh? if you have a lil bit more $$$ to splash, then go for squier guitars. they make real value fo money fender clones. as for guitar amps, i really like the new peaveys & fenders which are made in china. really cheap & sounds good! esp. the fender FM series, try checking it out in bentley |

My Budget is around 850-1050 I need the guitar to be able to play in slow musics and metal type too How about those Squier brand vs the SX GG Les Paul Black Beauty... from what I heard.. the SX LP is good and balance in most of the genre type of musics... Preferably got 24 frets Well, I am not good in guitar so would really like to hear some comments from you guys Any brand you guys will recommend me? Be it Fender (definitely out of budget ), Squier, SX, Ibanez or any la.. as long as it is around my budget |

Why do you need 24 frets? lol... I think having 24 frets might affect the guitar's intonation but then again I'm most probably wrong.

Are you the kiasu type in that "24 frets = More notes to be played" type? Or is it that you ABSOLUTELY need to play using the 24th fret?

Nope... This guitar will not be played by me only, partly by my brother who will definitely need it. If the budget can still reach or I need to splash out a little bit more money to get that, I still don't mind...

what he meant dat some ppl (esp noobs) want to have that 24 frets just to "tunjuk terror" that he got more notes to play.. like "OMGWTF I CAN PLAY 2 FULL OCTAVES U CANT".. it's normal for all newcomers to guitar. as in wanna tunjuk terror..

well.... the reason y a 24 fret neck > a 21/22 fret neck is easily noticable... 1st of all.... no it wont effect innotation... it can play everything a 21/22 fret guitar can do... with an extra 2 frets thats all... its like choosing a 30 speed bike over a 12 speed one.... y settle for less? nerd> that is the dumbest shit ive ever heard... how many guys with 24 fret guitars have you come across with that kind of attitude? no offence. blacktrix, led zep> yea in fact there very few songs that need the 24th fret... but like i just said, y settle for less? it just like a 21/22 fret guitar with 2 extra frets.... kiasu wouldnt be appropriate to describe those with 24 fret guitars imo... well u can always correct me if im wrong davidlow7> you wont need a 24 fret neck but its an extra... look at samick guitars... my friend has got the PRS copy with your budget i think a SX, Samick should be fine or add some xtra hundred and look at yamahas.... the pacifica 112 got good reviews from guitar world... maybe led zep can add more? |

Well, you can always be the next Rusty Cooley
. After all why settle for less? If you're the kind of guy who loves Vai to death and wanna play his songs note-for-note, then go ahead. Otherwise you get to choose from more variety of guitars. Pac 112? Mine's Made in Indonesia and it holds up very well. A little buzz in the top E-string on mine but could be easily fixed, the pickups don't pick that up tho. I love the PAC for its playability, it's a lot better than some SX and entry-level Ibanez I've played. The pickups will be good enough for beginners but you'ill need something better as you progress. Highly recommended for beginners and intemediates tho. |

thanks evo.com for ur comments..
Well, it's true... It's great to hear all the comments but i have so many friends oredi have a 22 frets guitar.. and some of them need 24 .... so why i still settle for 22? and we can still exchange guitars to play at times.... and my brother also do play my guitar... but i dun mind hearing more opinions... dun worry guys.... just give ur opinions.. |

My sentiments is EXACTLY what nerd says.
I'm just saying that if you want to spend an extra like 500 bucks for those extra frets when you don't need them, you just WANT them because well, EXTRA frets, then I think it's bloddy stupid to do that. MOST of us here play the regular fretboard layout and it's capable of playing all the songs that we want to play on the 6 string. You're not loosing out on anything even if you're using the standard 21/22 fret. REALLY. So if you found a VERY good guitar for your price range (like the SX Black Beauty), but you're only drawback is the 24th fret, then I say go for the Black Beauty. You're not loosing out on anything. And don't forget, it's YOUR guitar... not your friends. Play what YOU want to play. Last time, my bandmates asked me to go for a 7 string ibanez. I sticked to my Les Paul and never looked back since.

Well a 24-fret-guitar does have its advantages :

YES i totally agree that its dumb if hes spending an additional 500 for that extra 2 frets...
im just trying to point out that theres nothing bad about having a 24 fret guitar... no... ppl dont get 24 fret guitars so that they can tunjuk or whatever... unless you guys have met a fair number of those ppl to back up your statement please dont give any more crap davidlow> like blacktrix said... its your guitar.... you cash... your decision. There are very very few songs that need the 24th fret... the only one i can think of now is eugenes trick bag... dont choose your guitar base on the number of frets on the neck... the wood, pups, set up, playability is what you should be focusing on... |

yeah i also meant that.. the same like blacktrix said, spending more just for d 2 extra frets while u can get a decent standard 22 fret one.
haha evo.com, sorry for talking crap like u said, just thought it would strengthen the claim.. apologies. |

Well for me, right now I'm in the Hammet-Solo mode, So my guitar has 24, and I've used it ALOT of times,
But if you're the rhythm or usual solo creator, 22 is more than enough for you to explore. You're not gonna play the D Major Scale on the 20-24th , aren't you? So, the extra 500 isn't worth it IMO. |

Again, do you REALLY need the whammy bar?
If you're playing alot of Kirk Hammet/Metallica stuff or the Vai's or the Satch's stuff, then you might want to consider getting a good tremolo bar like the floyd rose system. Because with a cheap system, whenever you use it, you start out in Cleveland and end up in F**kin Jersey! With the Floyd, you stay in the same goddamned Zip code no matter what. Bonus points to the one who knows where that quote comes from! |

the ibanez 320fm would be better....
1st it has the edge pro 2 which is far better than the fat10 bridge.. although still far inferior compare to the original floyd or the edge other than the extra flame maple top everything else is pretty much the same i think... if you can try to look for the RG321MH.... mahogany body.... fixed bridge.... 24 frets... powersound pups if ure looking for a fixed bridge guitar think is the one i would recommend... should be almost the same price as the 320FM > RM1100 |

davidlow> its ibanez own floating tremelo system....
not a floyd.... exactly the same concept but diff manufacturer the edge 2 is alright.... much better than the fat10 you should just go to the guitar store and ask the salesperson to bring out all the guitars within your budget... lets say 1000-1700 then ask the fella to let you use the acoustic room or whatever and tell him to leave you alone... cover up the price tags and play each guitar... see which one suits you... oh yea and its important to p-lay the guitar along with the ampyou're plannign to purchase.... it'll bemuch better if you could bring someone with experience to help you make your purchase.... dont bring friends who'll go like "OMGZZZ LP OWNSS ALLL GUITAR.... SLASH USES IT!!!!" or "IBANEZ SURE GOOD WAN!!!" |

A Floyd Rose locking-trem is incredibly fun to use, but also very hard to maintain. Intonation problems, bridge alignment, tuning...oh dear. (Don't even ask about drop-D or non-standard tuning.) It's reliable, but once something goes wrong, you're in for a world of pain. My first guitar had a Floyd Rose bridge, and my early experiences with it weren't fun.
Do some research before you get one. It depends on what kind of music you want to play. Try www.jemsite.com and www.ibanezrules.com and look at the tech sections so see what kind of work a Floyd Rose bridge would need. And always, ALWAYS test a guitar before buying. Not just the sound or the fretboard feel - strap it on, jump around. It should feel comfortable in every way. Don't buy it after testing it on your lap only to find that you don't like the headstock dip when you're standing up at home. |

I suggest you get one with a few built in effects, so you can experiment. I recommend the Line 6 Spider II 15. It's a bit smaller than what you're looking for (15W) but it sounds okay (if a little harshly digital) and with four channels and something like six built-in effects, it'll last you for a while. CK Music sells them for under RM800, I think, so it's affordable, too.
You could also try a Roland Cube. |

Bring in the Valvetronix army!
I would pick the Roland Cube 30 over the Spider II any day. The Vox AD30VT is also worth considering. Strictly IMO so give these amps a test and judge. Otherwise you can save up some more and get the 15-watt Laney LC15 tube-amp combo instead, then applying pedals to shape your sound. |

15W is enough to practise in a room, enough headroom in clean to play alone, and with overdrive, you can even play along with fellow singer and buddy bassist... but if you intend to play with a bloody drummer or in a bigger/noisier room, then you'll need something with more watts.
Obviously, paying 800rm for a 15W gives you a good sound, whereas paying that price for a 30W or 50W amp gives you more power, but logically less 'quality'. I've seen some cheap amp brands around, such as Kustom or Red-something. Never tried them though... |

For some some bluesey overdrive, try the Ibanez Tube Screamer TS-9 or the Boss Super Overdrive SD-1.
SD-1 is a third of the price of the TS-9, and is slightly edgier. I think Bentley has both for sale, so you can try them side by side there. |

SD1's about RM170 while the TS9 is around RM400+. If you want a TS-style pedal, I suggest you try out the Digitech Bad Monkey, it should be around RM150++. I doubt it's available in Malaysia but it shouldn't be a problem to get it in your place.
Of course, do try out the Boss Blues Driver BD-2 and the Marshall Bluesbreaker too, who knows you might like them better than the rest. Always keep in mind that these pedals sound best on tube amps. So if you're unsure how you amp would take them, borrow them beforehand. |

Actually I would pick the Cube30 over 15 any day. The 15 sounds a little muffled, as if someone had put a blanket to cover the amp. The 30 is much more open and less muddy. Nonetheless the Cube 15 is a great practice amp for the money! Hope you enjoyed your new gear so far! Have fun and hope to hear some stuff from you soon! |

between the cube and AD30...c'mon la guys..
theres a tube in the AD30. why think summore? haha..tube in the power section summore..gives it more warmth and picking dynamics. and ur not lacking any models in the ad30. i own one and i wont exchange it for any amp around that price. effects wise, u got double the effects of the cube 30. 11 amp models. how many has the cube? the main thing is..the 12AX7 at the power section. that itself kicks ass. |

yes dear evo.
ur right in testing and all. but narrowed down to these 2 choices..u knw what to do. and dear evo again, the tube is in the power amp section. not the preamp. like most ppl think, and like most hybrids go, (marshall AVT, the new laney tubefusion or sth) . with the tube in the power amp(where it is needed the most) u get that crunching saturation u need. the preamp is entirely digital. comin thru the power section is totally analogue. hold on..lemme search up the manual... direct from the manual : The AD15VT, AD30VT and AD50VT use Valve Reactor technology, and feature a power amp circuit containing a 12AX7 (ECC83) dual triode valve ("vacuum tube") that would normally be used in a preamp. This allows the amp to produce the true sound and feel of a bona fide all valve (tube) amp. theres another whole lot on how the whole preamp>poweramp circuit works in this baby. but i dont wanna paste here la, spam only. unless u guys wanna know. its in the manual anyways. cheers evo. |

QUOTE(headhunter7 @ Oct 31 2005, 10:24 AM) ^ Nick..how does it handle metal? metal eh? yeah...its a modeling amp, so obviously u wld wanna hook up the 'numetal' setting, which gloriously models the dual recto. so yeah, metal heads like u wld love it. tho , u wld hv to EQ it to suit ur taste. if not, theres the other amp model, 'us higain'..which models a high gain soldano. there u go. another metal amp. or else, classic metal or stuff(not me)..the JCM 800 la..(uk 80's) or else..the marshall DSL or TSL (im not sure, its called UK MODERN) ...i dont really favour the marshall dsls. im all for the recto. Heavy..real heavy ones if that doesnt give u enough gain..pedal in front wld suit u. but i think the gains on thsi amp are good alraedy.

hmm i always thought the AD series have the tube in the preamp section...lol
i think the main rule when it comes to buying gear is to try it and make the decision on your own..... unless of course you;re buying online like i said before... its all personal preference.... ive tried the cube and the ad alot of times.... the cube30 and the ad30.... and i personally own a cube 15 the cube gives a "raw" sound.... lots of ppl rave over both of these amps.... and i don't really see why is there an "obvious" choice here. |

First you have to state the music you're interested in. Also, are you a beginner?
1) Different wood has different tone, so it all boils down to preference. For a strat-type guitar, alder is the common choice although some would prefer swamp-ash (more sustain but much heavier than alder). For Gibson-type of guitars, it's usually mahogany although some Epis are made with alder body. 2) For entry-level guitars, I would go for Korean/China/Indon-made Epiphone, Squier, LTD, Yamaha or even SX. As for beginner amps, Line 6, Roland, Vox & Fender's entry-level amps should give you the tone you want. 3) Your fingers determines how good the music your instrument produces. 4) A good guitar, imo, is a guitar that's well-built, with decent electronics & pickups, have a good feel and reasonably priced. Hope that helps. |

superdav > above all, define which music you like to listen to, and which music you'd like to play. Which band in particular do you have in mind ? Don't be shy !
Then we'll try to get you a setup with a "similar" sound to those guys The main thing is : there are certain families of guitars that will ease your playing toward a certain style, so first we have to narrow down all the specs and models you should be looking for. you can then go in a shop, make your own choice and grab whatever your wallet allows you to It is very important you try the guitar and the amp, because you might feel superbly comfortable with a certain models (the opposite is true also) |

a good guitar is a guitar that serves you well.... play it before you buy it...
some people prefer thick necks, some prefer thin ones.... some prefer hard tails, some prefer floating trems hardware doesnt really matter imo.... you cn always change that afterwards... |

santana rocks !
unfortunately i suppose your talking about recent santana recordings ? (supernatural and so on ... ?) and not about his hottest latin jazz-rock 70's era so anyway, you might go for one of those guitars with HUMBUCKERS (magnetic pick-ups with TWO coils), instead of the guitars with SINGLE coil pick-ups. So those models might fit you: - yamaha aes : http://www.yamaha.com/guitars/aes/0,,CTID%253D600002,00.html - ltd ec serie (or f / m / as series... all good !) : http://www.espguitars.com/guitars_ec.htm - epiphone les paul (or you prefer g-400 ?) : http://www.epiphone.com/default.asp?Produc...&CollectionID=6 - ibanez RG serie : http://www.ibanez.co.jp/world/products/eg/...M_AM_a_e_u.html - SX GG / Poison / ... serie (don't be afraid by the picture !) : http://www.sxguitar.com/gg_series.htm - samick avion : http://www.samickguitar.com/electricportal_avion.html - slammer (by Hamer) if you find them... (in CK music) - shecter C or S serie : http://www.schecterguitars.com/menu_guitars.asp?guitartype=1 you can find all of those brands in or around KL (refer to the thread dedicated on where to find the right shops here: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=162736 , 1st post) choose by feel and by look, don't bother too much about specs. All those are reliable brands (even though i'm not so confident about SX, but i never tried them ! ) which will give you a good guitar to begin with. For the amp, buy one in the store you tried the guitar. You can find cheap dirty "no brand" 15 Watts (like Drive, Red-something or stuff like this), and by taking a package you might end up with a really good overall price. If you want a quality small amp (and are willing to go to a diffferent shop and pay more), you can't go wrong with the entry-level amp of those brands: Roland (Cube 15) Vox (AD15VT) Hugh&Kettner (Blues Edition 15) However I do think that a cheap 15W will do the job, until you get more quids to buy a bigger one (30w or 50w). |

Wow... I guess Pix's post should be more than enough to guide you now.
The Roland Cube 15 and VoxAD15VT is priced at (approx.) RM450, that leaves you about RM1550 left for the guitar. I suggest you try out the Yamaha AES620 at Combo Mix, it looks very good & should sound even better. Good luck! |

led zep > thx for giving the prices... i couldn't be sure that those hi-end 15W would fit in the budget. and you must wonder how come i've so much time to spare while being in tahiti
actually i went surfing on the ocean this morning (or rather... tried to surf ! i just started), i'm quite exhausted to do anything else for today. heheheevo.com > mmm... it's mostly a matter of price unfortunately... yet i used to find 15W plenty enough for bedroom-solo usage ! |

Pix, next time when I need help on gears, please go surfing.
Must have been fun anyway, how's the weather over there?I second evo.com's suggestion on getting the 30. I've compared the Cube 15 and 30 (Almost side-by-side) and imo the 30's far superior to the 15. The sound's much more 'open' and not to forget has more amp models. The Plexi and JC models sounded very good, especially the JC, add a light touch of chorus and instant Larry Carlton. Haven't compared it to the AD30VT tho. |

superdav007, I'm not too sure but here's a rough estimation of prices
Yamaha AES820 - RM1800++ (Combo Mix) Yamaha AES620 - RM2200++++ (Sold at Combo Mix KL & Euphony, Ikano's Power Center) Epiphone Les Paul Standard - RM2200+ (At Rhapsody Mid Valley, you could get a free hard case) Epiphone Les Paul Goldtop (With P90 Pickups) - RM2300+ (Also at Rhapsody MV, you'ill get a free case) SX Les Paul - Less than RM1000 I would assume? Not really sure about the rest. But you can check the prices at http://www.wwbw.com for rough estimation. As for amps : Vox AD15VT & Roland Cube 15 - RM450 Vox AD30VT & Roland Cube 30 - RM900+ CK Music is the official distributor of Vox products while you could get the Roland at Rhapsody or The Guitar Store. Some demo clips for you : http://www.voxamps.co.uk/products/valvetro...d15vtad30vt.htm http://www.roland.com/products/en/CUBE-30/demos.html http://www.dolphinstreet.com/video_clips (Video clips of Vox AD50VT) If you're still confused, feel free to ask some questions!

Well firstly it's because it was Gibson's first mass-produced solid-body electric guitar. It's famous for its fat tone and sweet sustain. The endless list of LP players include Jimmy Page, Slash, The Darkness, Gary Moore, Zakk Wylde etc... Of course, you might like it, you might not. |

single coils have less output and sound 'thinner' also they tend to create alot of unwanted noise... especially on dist
humbuckers eliminate the noise and have a fatter fuller tone.. go try one and you know what im talking about |

superdav007, the wood affects the sound in a very subtle way. Basically, the heavier the wood, the darker the tone.
check this site: http://www.warmoth.com/guitar/options/options_bodywoods.cfm you'll understand everything. GODIN is a very good brand, but i'm afraid it's out of your budget... do they have cheap guitar ? i'm not so sure. Go to "guitar collection" and try them out. freaklick > weather = m'sia... hot and sunny and tropical rains and humid. but the sea is just 10min. away, so it's a whole different spirit ! |

looks like a fender strat'. you tried it, didn't you ? how did YOU find it ? you liked the sound ? because it is certainly a total opposite to all the guitars we just proposed to you above. |

superdav... a lespaul costs about 7000 to 9000 RM.
I have already listed all the lespaul alikes (within your budget) in the previous page, namely the Yamaha AES, Epiphone Les Paul, LTD... Ibanez RG is good for modern solo and rythm, you can get one without hesitation. |

QUOTE(Namqul @ Nov 29 2005, 12:45 AM) ive seen the kustom amp but havent tried it yet..... coz im trying to look for the cheapest place to buy one.. any suggestion? I'm not too sure about acoustic amps, really sorry, can't help much. How about trying some mic modellers like the recently-released Behringer or the Yamaha Magicstomp Acoustic??? or is there any other brand which might cost less? ibanez also have one. I think its called trabodour or something. Not that sure but the smallest is 65W i think. Im looking for smaller one and if possible, 15w would be enough. What acoustic are using anyway??? With piezo pickup? |

15W for acoustic is not enough, you won't hear the amp (in clean channel).

haha but as i said earlier, im in an entry level. I bought this acoustic with pickup. I think its J.D by marvell. Its an australian company. The sound is not that good coz the 5th strings has lower volume than others when i plugged it in. Haha thats what you get for buying cheap guitar. It cost me RM280, but for its look its worth it. and thats the main reason why i dont need a very good amp. coz i need to match it with my cheap guitar. So... any suggestions?
@led_zep_freak - any ideas how much will those amps cost me? |

the problem is either the bridge saddle or the nut
even with an amp you;r 5th string will still have a lower volume than the rest |

QUOTE(superdav007 @ Nov 28 2005, 10:23 PM) OK guys ive selected my chosen guitars. I just need u guys to tell me this guitars are suitable for wat genre or wat songs. wats d pros & cons & state d prices if u can. thx a lot. I wanna play songs like solo's from santana & also rock music from linkin park. Your chosen guitars cover everything across the board. It's almost as if you just laid down a few random brands! GUITAR 1)Les Paul 56 Goldtop 2)Les Paul Classic or classic plus 4)Les paul Standard or standard plus (wats d diff anyway?) 5)Fender Stratocaster 6)Gibson SD series 7)Ibanez are good for rock i heard but are they good for Solo tunes & reasonable priced? 8)Schecter's Maybe you should narrow it down to two or three first. Think about things like price and availability. Offhand, though I'd say your Santana and Linkin Park inclinations lean towards a humbucker-humbucker guitar, so the Strat's going to go. Of course, Santana has a warm, mellow, vintage overdrive sound and Linkin Park is a heavy-distortion contemporary nu-metal... But seriously? If you're just starting out (and with these questions, you are) and have the cash to spare, buy a cheapish guitar that you like the feel of, to hell with the sound. When you're better, change the pickups or something. And don't forget a decent amp. You'll probably change your mind about what you like while you're playing, anyway, or at least your experience will let you make a more informed choice. |

just one last thing :
the ibanez gives you a humbucker... if you don't know what it is, let's just say it provides you with a much better ability to reproduce those thicks and saturated guitars you hear in rock and metal (even those pat metheny's thick jazz lines). ps: are you a mod hunter ? breath in, breath out, relax dude... i'm just trying to do my best here. |

please correct me if im wrong but....
i do believethat the amp is the main gear in your rig that will most influence your tone go try for yourself... no matter how good the guitar is... through a crappy amp it'll sound like shit dont limit yourself to beginner packages... you'll find taht with a few extra hundred you'll get a much better deal |

evo.com, i totally agree with you ! But IMO, most entry-level guitars are acceptable whereas entry-level amps are pretty bad (compared to bigger ones).
Since he's on a tight budget (< 800rm), better get an OK guitar, so he can keep it for longer and learn better. If he takes an OK amp, he has to stick with a poor untuneable thin-sounding guitar, from a "no-brand"... That can seriously alter one's willing to learn the instrument. I agree, getting a Cube 30 with the same Ibanez RGX is a smarter initial investment. But how much does that cost ? |

If this MIJ strat is in mint condition, I would pick it over a new Highway 1 any day! Btw, you said vintage right? What year was it made in? 80s? Early 90s?

xnobys / ledzepfreak is right, MIJ are real good guitars with a constant quality. You can't go wrong with it. Plus, yours look fabulous !! Electronic is ok, but you might need a pickup upgrade in few years (that's cool ! you don't have to stick with average us fender's pickups, you can go for cheaper and higher end ones !), and possibly the jack cable connection will need some care ... nothing to worry about though, thrust me.
delon85, are you telling us you actually bought a epiphone LP at RM700 ? shouldn't YOU be the one telling us whether it's a good bargain or not ? how's the guitar ? do you like it ? |

delon85 .. well, be sure to tell us how is the guitar, and how is the overall transaction (via Ebay, right ?). i think it's a real good price ! i don't really like the sunburst on the picture though... but it doesn't really matter. You're starting with a nice guitar, thrust me.

If I'm not mistaken Beck's model is Olympic White in colour, so yours has a little yellow in it, cool! This post has been edited by led_zep_freak: Dec 3 2005, 12:12 PM |

I think it's probably because of the lighting, if you look harder, you could see a bit of yellow in it.

i looked hard... but it doesn't look like vintage white to me : the pickguard wouldn't match a vintage white in that way, you should see a contrast between the two white tones. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe not. Maybe you do see yellow stains. Maybe you should clean your computer's screen thouroughly and start going to the toilets

delon85, yeah it's a misleading ebay bid. It's ont 40W but 10W, you can see it just by looking at the size of the amp. you will not go far with that, but it's cheap...
roland cube30 (bentley's) and vox AD30VT (CK music) could be a good match, but you'll have to throw in RM400 ++. if you're an ebayer, look for those beats, possible good deals... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Roland-Cube-30-Ampli...1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vox-AD30VT-Valvetron...1QQcmdZViewItem |

pix/led zep,
the strat is not here and the dude is selling it on behalf of his friend. managed to get it at RM1.6k+strap+new strings but he needed a non-refundable deposit of RM200 before he can get the guitar in. and i can't try it first. what do you guys think? is it some sort of a bogus deal? i went to guitar store y'day and had played with the same jap strat (i guess) but with different colour selling for RM3k. man, the construction is smooth and i see/hear no defects, buzzing, etc at all. the quality of the construction is top notch... |

xnobys, who's this guy ? is he working in a music shop ? if yes, then a deposit is understandable. Otherwise, the usual way is that he hands the guitar to you and you pay him on the spot.
if he doesn't agree with this, then ... tell him you want to talk to the owner of the guitar and do the deal with that guy. if he still says no, then you're in the middle of a weird deal. Be sure the deposit is "documented" (a bill, a contract, with ID...) allowing you to get the RM200 back if the guitar is not in the condition stated verbally. He wants a deposit to "force" you to buy it when it's there. Cuz he doesn't trust you ? Well, make him understand that if he doesn't trust you, then you don't have to trust him either. And mention to him that you tried a MIJ fender strat, so you know what to expect, and that's what you want to buy. Of course, you have to soften the edges of what i'm telling you i'm just so pissed by that way of "street" trading, which is SO frequent in south east asia. One dude knows a lad that sells something, but the lad's not here, so we just wait and pay beforehand, the dude will go somewhere and come back and give you the phone number and the address of the possible location of a second lad who used to live with the sister of the first lad, but by the way, the stuff is not ready yet, you'll have to wait 3 more weeks...

I saw the rest of the pics in Jamtank, you're right Pix, the 'yellow' could hardly be seen lol. Might be Olympic White after all?
Try to get a COD deal from him since the seller's his friend, the friend should trust his judgement, right? Btw, what's the difference of these 2? Power Input-40 watts max Power Output-12 watts max This post has been edited by led_zep_freak: Dec 4 2005, 10:48 AM |

led zep, power input would be the electrical consumption, i suppose, but it's totally misleading. Clearly written by someone woh knows nothing about amps OR try to over-describe the amp in order to blow away beginners
delon85 > errr. my friend, read the whole thread, you'll have your answers. i'm just telling you the global and current trend about cheap amps. If you want details, you'll have to read all the previous pages. |

Power Input-40 watts max Power Output-12 watts max amps like those Pix recommended are really good for performing to a small group because its 30W... more power. sounds are energy. therefore the more power u have the more energy u can transmit. 10W-15W are usually practise amps and for beginners |

well, it's not really about the power, because between 15W and 30W, it's not that much difference in terms of "decibels", but it's more about the speaker's size, as you noticed earlier. It's a huge quality gap between a 6" or a 8", and a 10".

Did you know that the Les Paul was once supposed to be under Fender? There was rumors in the company that the great Les Paul was going over to Fender to create the ultimate guitar.... However, the Strat was released to a bigger success that they didn't need the support of Les.
Did you know that I'm also full of S**T? hahahahahahaha |

ilfr, try browsing through that thread, you'll find plenty of information.
below 300RM... i dunno, probably a 15W amp, since they all sound the same, don't worry too much about the brand. If you can put 400RM, I think you can get the "good" 15W, such as Roland Cube15 and Vox AD15. Correct me if I'm wrong about their prices though... As for the guitar, you can't go wrong with the Yamaha entry level guitars. Very good price, good quality, and you don't pay for the brand. Check out the shops list. In Yamaha they also sell Lany's amp, so you can get a Laney 15W + the Yamaha and possibly get a good bargain |

Hello everybody!!!!
Just dropping in to say how happy I am to have found an absolute gem. My guy has been talking non-stop about his friend who was a luthier, right. And this guy was an apprentice of some big nob in Canada or sumthin. So, he has returned to Malaysia and is currently producing ABSOLUTELY BLOODY BRILLIANT ACOUSTIC GUITARS!!! My friend took in 4 of 'em to help him sell them. There was also a second hand min Takamine on sale at his shop. I triep the Takamine first, great sound, deep bass and so on. But I wasn't gonna expect what happened next. I strummed an E' on this locally made guitar and I was shocked. It was georgeous. I felt like I was playing a RM5000 Taylor. The neck was smooth (slim), it was slightly small and light but the bass and tone was out of this world. I'm not really good at describig how guitars sound like. But once you play this baby, you'd know immediately that it was first class hand made sh*t.. The guitar goes by the name Free Man (the surname of his master I think - Freeman) it retails at around RM1800 <--- worth every penny spruce stika solid top, bindings etc.. gotta see it to believe it. I'll take pix and show u guys |

FYI, as discussed by PM
QUOTE thanks man! just been listening to your songs in virtual jam, nice one mate! QUOTE if you're a beginner, you can still check out those 3 points. You just have to trust your judgment / unconscious - it'll work for yamaha, go to KL plaza, and for friendly staff, go to CK Music. JS music might be friendly too, they've just opened and are right behind CK music. CK and JS don't sell yamaha though, but nvmind. check out the music shop thread have fun there ! QUOTE Honestly i am just begining to learn.....i wouldnt be able to test a new guitar as extensively as you just mentioned but i did try to get a feel on them tho :-) Any friendly guitar shop you personally recommend mate? QUOTE QUOTE Hi man, I went to the yamaha shop to look around for guitar just now.......saw this entry level Pacifica 012... RM600 and one RGX121 (2 hum, 1 coil) RM930...have u ever heard about them? They're both good guitars, did you try them ? When you do, just focus on: - your left hand on the neck : must feel comfortable and fast, it really depends on your hand shape, check how smoothly is the finish on the back of the neck, and the material on the toop side of the neck. - the body shape : when you're sitting down, check the guitar is not hurting you - finally, the sound : check all the pick ups sound, all the combinations, in clear and distortion settings. - one more thing : try a guitar model which is just slightly more expensive (from yamaha still) (let's say around 1200RM) and see how it compares to the entry level ones you're trying. Maybe it'll totally worth putting in the extra cash ? Maybe not. Be sure. finally, take home the guitar you prefer the most go try other guitars too, in bentley for instance. |

Aww Pix, I unfortunately, I dun have RM1800 lying around under my bed haha. But, if I do have money soon, I'm gonna get one for meself. Of course, I have to sell my other acoustics first. Dun wanna hav too many lying around the house lol. I don't have the exact address, but if you are familiar with SS15, near Taylor's? there's a mini shopping mall in there. The store is on the second floor. Its not a big mall, so ur sure to find it. The shop also sells SXs, second hands, and does repairs. Its opened rather late, around 12 ish and the owner is simon. Check it out! |

Paiseh man.......as am in no position to review a guitar yet...hehe
Anyway its a Washburn X10 guitar i got it from SS15. S-S-H setup. 24F, black and the usual stuff. You can read the reviews from better players here ---> http://www.harmony-central.com/Guitar/Data...urn/X_10-1.html i also got a Roland Cube 15 amp. All for RM900. Now i have a problem and i suspect is because of the cheapo Rm15 guitar cable.....when i set my guitar or amp to high tune, its giving a hell lot of hizzling sound, damn annoying! It gives the same noise even when i only plug the cable into the amp without connecting to the amp.....any idea? and any recommendation for a better cable if necessary?? Thankssss!

It could be fine, but it's just picking up electrical interference from something. For example, if my cable is unplugged and lying on the floor, I get a whole lotta noise. Once I plug it in, it's fine.Anyway its a Washburn X10 guitar i got it from SS15. S-S-H setup. 24F, black and the usual stuff.

ilfr : what happen when you switch your guitar to the humbucker only, without using the single coils ? still hissing ? then yeah, possibly the cable. you can get a planet wave cable for 70RM in yamaha shop. A really really really good cable, trust me, you'll keep one life time.

I'm sorry if this question has came up before in here. But I was just wondering how much will a Ibanez RGT6EX http://www.ibanez.co.jp/japan/index.html be in Malaysia.

You could call up Bentleys ( check the number at the music shop & jamming studio thread) and ask about the price.

A couple of month ago, i asked around about the cheapest acoustic amp around. Here is what ive found out. It is the behringer at108. a 15w acoustic amp. Its not much, but for me... its enough. im not that good anyway. But here is the best thing bout the amp, it also have one mic input. so for you guyz who want to listen to yourself singing while playing, this should be enough. and another best thing is that it cost only rm 306. this is the price when i bought it. this is only my opinion. and hope there is someone who will find this usefull.

Namqul, big thx for sharing. Your opinion is highly valuable, you shouldn't be so shy
So overall, you didn't say whether the sound provided by the amp is pleasing you ? 15W usually gives just a bit more presence, for an acoustic guitar, in clean channel, but it opens possibilities to distort your tone and get some nice Nirvana grungy tones (at least, that was what a friend and I used to do when we were beginners )newbie2, i have never heard of this guitar. Which brand is it ? |

Pix, not that im shy or anything, just being truthfull that im not good and an amature in this field. Thanks anyway for the warm welcome. Well, for RM306, the amp sounds great. Its clear and I felt that all the money spent is worth every penny. Its true that 15w wont be enough for a hall, but to practice in your own room, it would be enough. But if you guyz have a lot of money, there is this AER acoustic amp that cost RM3500. It sound perfect. Well maybe thats why it cost that much. This is what the guyz at The Guitar Store at cheras show to me when im there buying the amp. But than again, it is like comparing a ferrari with a kancil. But overall, the amp is great and for you guyz who dont have enough money to buy amplifiers and speakers, this amp should be a good one for your singing practice while playing with another amp for your electric guitar. Now what i need is a nice acoustic guitar to go with the amp. My J.D by marshall sounds awfull, or than again maybe its my skill. haha

woaw, that's nice from the guy at Guitar Store to let you try out this monumental AER amp ! And in a way it is very useful to help you choose a good amp : after driving a Ferarri, you're more likely to choose a good car because you know what to look for, even if it is cheap as a kancil..
i'm not saying kancil is good though the only time i drove one, i couldn't push only one pedal at a time with my feet : i broke and accelerated at the same time, while unclutching Pix is a hairy Bigfoot... |

Just admit that you're clumsy lar hahaha...
Anyway the AER amp is very good sounding, but it won't make a cheapo acoustic sound good, so you need to fork out summore for a Martin/Taylor/(Inserts famous acoustic guitar brand). |
