QUOTE(Everdying @ Mar 13 2018, 06:52 PM) 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=134Eh not bad the price ah. Guitar bag included some more. But it doesn't have the plugin thing right? GG.

There's so many that's within my budget with pickup there! All in stock some more. See why I don't like TGS. Nampak sangat the guy was trying to push that model...

Nampak sangat the guy was trying to push that model... more like that guy doesnt know whats in stock. but cant fault him, cos that MR600 is still a popular model... the L450 that i like is actually quite niche...only those who appreciate it for what it is will like it.

The fret especially the shine get worn off, while my ibanez electric guitar in cheaper price don't.

QUOTE(Everdying @ Mar 13 2018, 10:53 AM) but ya, fender acoustics have the most electric feeling necks around on a budget. apart from that, its Taylors... personally im not diggin the Fender acoustics at all. Epiphones though, there is a cool newer line of acoustics resembles jazzbox that have a MASSIVE neck! Tried one in Swee Lee and I like it! But pretty expensive if i rmb right

Thanku so much <3 just one that makes you happy, its htat simple, i hate PRS for example despite their universal acclaim functionally these days most guitars are fine, issue is even if they are not most people wont be able to detect them. And most beginners and intermediate players wont even reach spots that are commonly problematic untill years later. just as long the notes dont buzz and you are comfy with it, its good to go

Thanku so much <3 Generally the best guitars are full solid guitars, which cost more than 10k ( Taylor Martin Goodall Larivee Lakewood Gibson etc.) But as a beginner u dont need a guitar that good Ask an xperienced guitarist friend to choose the guitar within your budget for you, they will know what good action n great playability are (hopefully)

Ended up getting a Tanglewood dreadnought + bag and capo for like RM614. Was actually pushing for a 1k - 1.2k guitar but ended up with this. Even the guy working there was like yeah another 600 bucks Tanglewood was great and I should go for it but eventually the uncle there said dreadnought would be better for my style.
It was the Guitar Collection and I highly recommend it, in my two visits I easily spent about 4 hours there. The guys are great and the put the player's needs first.
Anyway, thanks for the help. It was a real bargain and I saved quite a bit of cash.
