for that price,the floyd wont stay in tune and the guitar might not last very long. sx brand is fine. great for upgrades. alot of those on mudah and some in the lowyat music instrument section

I dont see a floyd in the guitar??

Anyways assuming you're in Msia I don't think it's worth it to pay the shipping cost for a budget guitar. Try CK Music with their Craftsmen guitars, they can be found under RM500.

For a total beginner i would recommend getting a starter pack eg squire/ibanez/epiphone..for the price u pay really bang for the buck..

thanks for the opinion guys...

actually i did not count in for the amplifier yet, so actually to get everything one package, is it normal to cost more than RM800?

quite normal,

what you can do if you dont want to spend more cash is to opt for an interface, those can be very cheap , you could also get your amps/guitar second hand

it depends on the settings on each individual guitar and what you like.

honestly tho, just go for a fix bridge, common brand guitar you can find in the guitar shops here, those unknown ones like taloha is pretty much anyones guess

Agree with fix bridge, x sakit kepala later on... some budget guitarist just go for guitar within range of "affordable" and using interface to connect to pc/laptop for virtual amp and such then slowly upgrade better pickup suit to your playing style.
