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?

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.

nothing wrong with farida or custom acoustic.
but those can get below rm1k, while TS said rm2k budget so must as well go for something better.

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.

So no, I don't believe everything China is bad.

the usual argument for china made stuff is that they are 'value for money'.
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 tongue.gif

interestingly enough i have a friend who said the same thing that chinese violins are good, then he showed me cort.

not that i would diss cort, but hell in the guitar world most of us here wont even touch it with a 20 ft pole
