yamaha f310.

acoustic or elec?

was thinking between acoustic or classical..which one is better?

You said pop songs.. obviously the acoustic.

I tried the F310 at the Yamaha sale recently and retail price has already jumped to RM500++.

Will probably go for something else at that price.

Yamaha f310. Classical for pluckig, since u pop song just acoutsitc and strum ur way.

Can go secondhand group and get a cccheap secondhand guitar to wack.

dayum bitch, you srs?

seems like the f310 is a hot choice..recently i went to a shop and the owner recommended me a cort guitar..but i might need to increase my budget..=) apparently yamaha's guitar is better at top range where their lower range are not so good.... and what do u think about a solid top guitar? is there a huge difference and is it value for the money? (price is around 800)

Strum it. Satisfy then buy o. Specs and brand differ. In the end boil down how u feel

well cort is ok, yamaha is recommended cause they used to be plentiful and you can get a second hand one for cheap.

solid stops are as what it is, value for money depends on the beholder. they tend to sound better but thats if you can tell if it does, not all solids do work wonders.

the downside of solids is that they are more fragile than laminates

totally agreed.!! but really difficult to choose man..its like so many brands and model.. hmm

Pergi mana belajar?

hence go with popular opinion... there's always a reason why something is chosen.
tho now yamahaha f310 retails rm500 its no longer value as when it was popularly recommended it was only rm300.

so ya now at rm500 range, as u already mentioned... Cort is a very good choice...

Go to CK, Swee Lee and Bentley, try their cheaper models. Then go to Guitar Store (they have better acoustic selection) and try theirs.

Shouldnt be hard to pick once to try and compare them all. Dont be afraid to try.

On paper they all look the same, so it'll be hard to decide, gets easier when you try them with your own hands.

Try affinity/bullet tele too, versatile and easy to sell back

uhh why u simply posting without following?
ppl asking for acoustic or classical...

lol free country mah, btw since when pop=acoustic imo just wanna add more choices since ts did increase his budget heheh

Cort would be perfect.

i went to music bliss and the guitar store to try out a few guitars.the difficult part is most of them sound almost the same..hahaha..just a slight difference tho..so far i see Epiphone AJ 220SCE/N and Cort MR E NS they are not bad.

Hey terence8

check out mahogany music in ss2 they have some lower end guitars which are 1000RM and below like Cort and Suzuki guitars.

Its definitely better to test them out sometimes with guitars its harder to make a decision just by looking at pictures. its all about the sound and how u like your guitar before making the decision. Thats how i see it anyway, I too find it hard to decide until i try them out at the stores

save money and top up to get a taylor or martin.
