They are the gibson distributors of malaysia but i heard a lot of bad things about them . Mostly customer service as the owner would not give 2 shits about you once you buy their stuff . Also their guitars not being in good condition . Also heard about a case where some dude's epiphone slash signature had a factory defect and the owner told him its not his problem but epiphone's problem . What do you guys think about them ? Any experiences ?

you can ask it in the guitarist thread

like many shops around they can claim whatever they see fit but gibson doesnt recognize them. everything gibson comes from singapore as swee lee holds distribution rights for malaysia.

Gibson International Distributor list

anyway non-official gibson distributors have always been around, some shops like TGS can always order for you if needed.

only issue is that there are no cheaper gibsons around as majority of the local "official" orders will go to swee lee which hike up the gibsons like nobodies business.

hmm, might be for some products sweelee still holds rights to

all these while to my knowledge the flagship brands that TGS carry were never under sweelee's radar.

issit me or sweelee lost distribution rights , i thought long long time ago i check they were like the guitar supermart of Singapore, today i look at the site only ibz, gibson and guild

duno leh, ive never seen gibsons in TGS, epiphones yes. but never really bothered where they came from

then again once you carry epiphone i think you have to go via sweelee dy so i guess that counts

I think this thread is old and im pretty much bumping it :3 But i just had to write something.

This is a real experience i had with Meneutto Music @ Desa Park City.

I went there to enquire bout their guitar classes and i dropped them my details on when the classes can be held (they were having some issues on that day so they couldnt check class availability). The person there wasnt very professional either :3 Registration also write on blank paper (excuse given was, oh registration paper finish d :3 )

Once i got home ,i was informed by some friends + web comments stating that the place there isnt very good with services/friendliness so i decided not to go there.

So they called me after a week or so, and the lady spoke to me in English and sounded VERY strict/rude , so i told them i wasn't interested anymore. So she ended the call shortly.

Months later, they called me again (stupid me of not storing their number or so :3 ) and they said, hey just to inform you , your class this weekend has been postponed. I was like HUH ? Then i told them i never took any classes with them , and they checked and told me they called the wrong number =.=

MY GOODNESS !

finish cracks are common and normal for all gibsons, ironically the custom shops purposely make those cracks and charge you more

the standard normally retails about 2k usd upwards depending on the top, the 1.7ks are used or sale stuff. i think you can get those prices here but not for later 00'-13' models, those are too new and many want near retail price.

It's not QC, that's the nature of nitrocellulose finish which tend to 'check' depending on the weather and humidity it is stored in. Over time the finish become brittle hence you see most vintage guitars have cracks/checks all over the finish. This would happen to any guitars that has similar finishing unless it is sprayed with polyurethane (i.e. PRS and most guitars these days)

This is desirable for some wink.gif

well the market is like this here i guess, most of the similarly priced gutiars seem to be consistent to the pricing strategies of gibson

EBMM JP BFR - RM14k
Fender Cs Strat - RM12k++
Ibz J-Custom - RM12k
ESP Original - RM15k++ (one seller told me the artist signature series was 19k)
PRS C24 - RM13k

i guess its cause of the frequency, not many here can afford those prices, moreover meneutto is a seperate entity to swee lee, which means they prb hike up over what swee lee hikes up.

interesting to see if gibsons will come down when sweelee comes over
