if you are looking to gig, get a pup one also good to keep in mind gig guitars are to be trashed around

I'm not much of a guitar player but seems like a necessity for gigging. That's why budget kinda small. Haiz, see la. Few places to check out from this thread.

well not really a necessity, but its something you'd like to have

you still kinda need to hook it up to an amp or something, its not plug and play

Idk that's what he said. It's their product or something. It's only sold in their store and the inside of the guitar has TGS on it

not really, wedding ones typically dont

those are not really "designed" by TGS, one can say dealer spec, its not common but does happen time to time. Dealer spec normally tends to be the often requested combination of woods by their customers, it tends to be good value sometimes but they dont fair well in the used market somewhat.

Keep it in mind, and go for a look around, no harm to just wait a bit since you are buying new.

Also take note that the top is the only thing that is solid, back and sides are laminate.

go to other shops and try out, sometimes wood specs wont deliver the sound you want, so the personal experience is still critical

Good point. Wedding just mic la XD

I'll probably go to CK tomorrow then Amplitude on Saturday.

I don't understand about the wood thing. Should all be solid? What should I be looking for? But yeah I'll try all those places then decide.

for ur budget, the best ur gonna get is a solid top and laminate sides...
if full solid, its gonna cost way more.

there are also some corts with solid top and backs, but still laminate sides...like my favorite cort model aka poorman's martin 000-15M - http://www.cortguitars.com/en/product/prod...iew.asp?idx=134

theres no should, just your personal preference

solids tend to be expensive, they are argued to sound better but imho thats mostly due to them appearing in more expensive guitars with better workmanship, they age better ( sound better in time) unfortunately they are very sensitive, and less resilient

laminates = plywood, cheap, study and resilient. They can sound good but wont age at all

there are pros and cons to each, the unpredictable nature of solids can make life with the guitar quite irritating
