QUOTE(ariffdude @ Mar 13 2015, 10:13 AM) Yeah I wouldn't wanna buy anything from woh fatt unless its spare parts. But what about China made guitars like Farida from TGS, Custom Acoustic from CK, L Luthier? nothing wrong with farida or custom acoustic.Sorry I'm not that knowledgeable in acoustic guitars, more towards classical guitars. Because I tried that China made Alma (solid top back and sides) classical guitar which goes for 2.8k and I swear that it its way nicer than a 7k made in Spain Manuel Rodriguez I've tried at Bentley. but those can get below rm1k, while TS said rm2k budget so must as well go for something better. |

QUOTE(ariffdude @ Mar 13 2015, 09:42 AM) That's weird, because it's a different story altogether for violins, something which I would argue requires much more workmanship than acoustic guitars. Chinese violins nowadays are very reputable even by advance players. They cost a fraction of the price of German or French made ones, and sometimes you can always find better sounding Chinese violins out there. the usual argument for china made stuff is that they are 'value for money'.So no, I don't believe everything China is bad. would one pay the price of a french violin for a china one? as it seems the 'reputable' players out there say its good quality? but actually, maybe one day violins will probably reach that phase. see guitars already, ppl paying rm2/3/4k++ for china and even indonesia made ones... but then again they're all being held ransom by both the company and their own mind...as that particular design only has that model. the day i buy a china made guitar at that price...someone shoot me This post has been edited by Everdying: Mar 13 2015, 11:37 AM |
