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...

Hmm...i would choose MIM...since it got Duncan pu there, kinda cheap for 1.3k. For me the Highway 1 is a bit expansive...better just collect till u can get a new one.

Yah...lots of them and many are cheap.

Hmm...should be below RM 900. I almost bought one for RM750...

Ibanez is ok...depends on which model, it's usually under 1k with gig big and some spare money to buy a small practice amp.

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

wave? i saw some at rhapsody mid valley...they have a cheap acoustic bass...

all under 1k, but SX u can get...from 500 - 900...depends either bass or guitar and which design (strat/LP/tele). SX LP copy is around 800.

I will not say it's perfect (u can't really get a perfect clone) but it's a good clone. Same design except no Gibson at the headstock hahahaah~

Strat = Fender Stratocaster
LP = Gibson Les Paul
Tele = Fender Telecaster

CK Music in Jln. Imbi got their stuff.

Oh...my ex-roomate have this. The tuning machine not very good, so easy out of tune. If u encounter that problem, just change to a better one.

Damn, that's a hot mama!!

Got to agree with this...u want a nice small amp there's not much choice other than a Roland Cube. But then, that also cost some dough.

Nice guitar/bass is the way to go coz u sling ur guitar/bass everywhere, not your amp unless you memang want the exact tone you've been creating on your amp and can't tolerate house amps

Another advice for starters (like really just started, not the one that alrdy expert on kapok looking for his first electric lady) that have extra money, don't go buy the most expensive unit that you see. Because you can never be too sure how long you gonna play. I encounter lotsa cases where after bought let's say a nice Fender MIA Strat, after few months stopped alrdy. First, that's farking wasted and 2nd, there's other guitarist that deserve that more than u but too bad, u are more fortunate than them. World kinda unfair...dun make it much more unfair

Close to 2.5k - 3k? Roland Cube 30 is around 1k, and RGX definately 1k plus.

Oh, GRX? Then it should be less then 2k together with Roland Cube

Ibanez 7-string? Pretty expensive and quite rare in Bentley. Even the fixed bridge RG 7 cost cost between 2-3k if i'm not mistaken. Unless you talking about Ibanez 7-string GIO which a lil bit more than 1k. That was 1-2 years back. I don't know about now.

Generally, 7-string are pretty rare and doesn't cost cheap. Do Re Mi near Chow Kit that have few dirt cheap (between RM 600-RM 1k) China-made 7-string which have a very rough workmanship in the shape of Strat & RG

If your friend confident about buying online (like you ), you can try Ebay. Careful of Ibanez 7-string ripoff from China. Look almost the same.

Very hard to find nowadays. Limited run during the nu-metal fever.
Saw some on Ebay. Some are Custom-made by Epi and some are not. So careful yah, afraid you paid a Custom-Shop price for a normal version
