Hi guys,


I have been using kapok for more than 8 years (not even mine, my friend let me borrow it) Anyway, I am thinking to be dead serious on music (eg: to create musics/recording/basking maybe).

Fyi, my budget is less than 1k. My play style is something like Jason Mraz,Boyce Avenue, Bruno Mars, Creed, Disagree, Sixx AM(llife is beautiful is way so awesome) and more.

Basically, I am more to alternative rock/punk pop/pop rock and
my forte is singing/plucking and strumming.

I need advices on which brand of guitar should I be after to. At the moment, I am eyeing on Cort brand as their price can fit into my budget range.

Thanks in advance.

i think u should go visit guitar stores and try.
cos main point is the necks vary in size etc so u need to find one ur comfortable holding and playing.
so u need to go try out more cos got so many brands from fender, yamaha, takamine and all feel different.

if u ask me what my preference, i would probably say epiphone dove or epiphone el-00 both at around rm1.1k.

cort is also pretty good value for money, unless ur brand conscious.

True, I think I should try the guitar before purchasing as I was thinking to buy guitar via online which is not a good move.
