Hello !
I'm currently playing Classical and would looooove to play Electric too.
I'm getting my first Electric Guitar soon for my birthday and I need your help, so I won't be regretting until I have the money to buy another guitar.
Some guitars are based on some music
and I want to play mostly Indie Music.
(eg : Death Cab for Cutie , Eisley , Rilo Kiley , Tegan & Sara...)

Wouldn't recommend Ibanez for indie rock..... to trebly..

go for either an SX strat or Pacifica strat... And your choice of either the microcube or the VoxDA15... I would personally go for the Vox..... as it's more inclined towards the Indie rock sound you're going for.

Pacifica is Yamaha right ? I heard Yamaha deals with a lot of money .

And I've always wanted a pink guitar (being a girl ; duh?)
the body can be custom paint right ? Usually how much it cost ?

Seriously, I'm sooo a newbie in these.

Body CAN be repainted, but it's usually very expensive and sometimes not to the standard you want. Pick a guitar and just put stickers on it tongue.gif
OR.... you could go ultra cute and buy the pink Hello Kitty fender/Squire strat!

But yes.... it's the Yamaha Pacifica we're talking about. Have very good reviews here and outside as well for a "budget" guitar. Sorry. I don't think they have it in pink though......

Let's clear a few things here, you all might hate bentley or whatever for whatever reasons but for the stuff they are carrying, Bentley has the best prices PERIOD.

The only thing that are almost list price are the high end Ibanez, Fenders, and Marshalls and that is for obvious reasons.

The rest of their stuff, the low end to mid end are cheaper that what you can get in the States. most of the time.

The only place that hantam prices are Guitar Collection, Rhapsody, and to a certain degree Chambers (a bit higher that Bentley for some stuff, strings especially).

And if you want a Yamaha, there is a Yamaha in KL Plaza just across Bentley, don't need to go all the way to 1 Utama.

The stock in the Yamaha 1 Utama is pitiful at best. They seem to be carrying more generic china brands than actual Yamaha stuff.

Well its never wrong to survey at first. Since Yamaha is just right across Bentley, I'll be checking that one out too.

Well, what is budget to you? Last I saw in Bentley, they have lots of Squire, Cort, Ibanez Gio all for under 900. A new guitar under rm900 is in the budget category di for me. There is also Santa Cruz crap for bottom of the barrel stuff.

Though Woh Fatt is probably the king for low end stuff.

my budget : >1.2k
Where's Woh Fatt ?
