Why don't you just change them yourself?
Just head down to Sunway's Guitar Collection, get a new set of strings, and change it in Cyberjaya (dorm I presume?).....
BTW...... Cyberjaya is DESOLATE for any guitar stuff.....

I know. I study in MMU

haha okok thanks so the nearest place is at sunway rit...
my guitar is an old one...wanna learn that's y i need to go to a shop where they can change and tune it for me too...

its damn easy to learn la, get string and stick it through hole and tighten till its on tune.

unless you have a floyd rose

oh okok thanks guys...
so the nearest place i can get the strings is at sunway izzit???
where is the shop at sunway

Near the arcade on the lowest floor.....
You can't miss it.

ok thanks...mod i think u can close this thread....

i think u can take a T43 (rapid kl) bus from cyberjaya all the way to one utama or kelana lrt station...and i think the fare is only rm4...hope i didn't get the bus number screwed up though...

from there, u can go to bukit bintang via lrt to bentley, chambers or other music stores to get ur strings...

If you're in One U, you can get your strings at Guitar Collection or Pheony Yamaha Music. Likewise if you're at Kelana Jaya LRT Station, you may take the free bus to Ikano's Power Center and get them from Euphony.

now you guys are just taking the micky hehehe

Ok then.

B4 the moderator closes the thread, I wanna ask.. how much does one set of guitar strings costs? the ones with half nylon strings....?

Depends on the brand, but not more then Rm40 or so.

Strings are quite cheap, you can get them at Rm12.50 for a Errie Ball strings.

But I wanna get soft steel strings... bet they cost a lot? hmmm... btw will the shop charge if i ask them to replace the strings for me and tune also?

Like i said, it depends on the brand of strings you want to buy be it Fender or GHS or Errie Ball etc. To be safe, just bring Rm50.

and yes, some shops do charge you for string replacement and tuning which you can do it all by yourself which is FOC

bring RM50.
strings RM20.
so rest go to tune and set-up?
RM30 for a 5 min job

hmm...must keep dirty thoughts out...

May I ask what brand is good for acoustic guitar? Is there any size for these type of string?

I'll change strings for 10 bux.. any takers?? :-)

u can try d'darrio...i always use d'darrio's string and i like them very much...especially the heavy bass one...

ernie ball strings are sold at RM 12.50 ?? serious?? which type?

i always thought ernie balls are usually arnd 17 to 18?

hmm.. been testing a couple brands out on my acoustic. Wanna say that although strings are important, it's the guitar body that dictates how it would sound. For higher end guitars, i'd recommend Elixer strings (about RM70 -RM80 ). Sound quality from it is awesome and it lasts longer than normal strings. definately worth the price.

for mid range, you can try out Newtone strings (RM 40). I know it sounds like a weird name, but trust me, for the price you pay, the strings is awesome.. Sounds like an elixer, downside is that it's not as lasting as elixer. sound quality runs out after a month or so of intensive playing.

For those with budget mind but want something of value, i'd definately recommend the Ernie Ball Acoustic strings (RM 25). Good strings for the price you pay. Especially compare to the rest of the pack in that price range.

I've tried out D'Addario (RM18), Fender (RM20++), Gibson (RM25++) but those strings just don't meet my expectation. Worst experience i had was with a brand known as Good Strings (dun even wanna remember the price). It sounded so bad i decided to change it after a week or so. Stay away from that brand and you shall be fine.

Strings are tested out on a Taylor and Takamine G series.

yea, taylors have to use elixirs.
its the only way to get that 'taylor' sound, no matter what ppl say that its the body that dictates the sound more.

i use d'addarios for everything my bass my acoustic and my strat. So far i am happy with it. Decent strings for the price u pay.

hmmm...dunno about that. I do use d'addarios for me taylor...xlight bronze... has a nice bell like sound that really rings and cuts in a band.

Tried Rotosounds for me bass but still settle for d'addarios too...I guess I must like all those colour coded ball ends hahahahhaa
