Actually, I ordered a Dean myself. Nothing special. One of those lesser bolt on ones. I didn't even bother to ask for a hardcase. They just sent it in a box with bubble wrap. I think it shud be ok. But you know, don't take my word for it. After all, it is my frist time buying international products.

Yeah, but that's because when they send out the guitars, they are prepared to ship them........
I'm worried about the cargo compartment of an airplane..... what with all that pressure and the extra luggage on top....... not to mention the under paid workers who will toss the baggage........ |

Haha. I thought you can't bring Razorbackx through customs. Apparently they can be used as weapons.

I can imagine being stabbed by a Razorback.
Too bad you can't dismantle it and mail it piece by piece. |

QUOTE(blacktrix @ Jun 28 2007, 04:42 PM) First off, congrats for deciding to pick up the guitar! Prepare to spend countless nights practicing that song perfectly, only to realize your fingers can't work the next day! Thanks for the words of encouragement mr moderator.Well, it depends on what guitar you're getting, really. And bringing down a guitar and amplifier back from Singapore has alot of problems, logistically speaking. You can get a decent setup in Malaysia for about RM1500, including Guitar, Amplifier and some accessories thrown in.... refer to our budget guides for more details....... btw, our top recommendation is still an SX Stratocaster copy with a Roland Microcube.... nightzstar, you haven't listed down a budget...... so we can't recommend you anything. If you have NO budget, get an American made Fender Straocaster or Gibson Les Paul...... each costs in excess of RM6000+++ If you're lucky.... And eye, I personally love Les Pauls, so I'm quite biased to the Eclipse.... But word of warning, ESP prices in Malaysia is quite ridiculous, so prepare to spend alot of cash on that. The ME-50 looks particularly good to me, as it has 24 frets and a trem........ Hmmmmmmmmm...... might consider getting that if I can't wait for my Ibanez S 24-fret! Added on June 28, 2007, 4:55 pmHeheheheheh...... new Avatar...... Not going to last long..... maybe a month or so Since I've got the crappy Ibanez as a loaner, I'm going to to keep using it till i know a bit more about guitars.. and then whip out my cheque book when i know what i want. Till then, I'm going to keep working on the exercises in my beginners guitar book till i can nail some white stripes songs. |

If you're a guitarist, you automatically get GAS...... it comes free when you purchase your first guitar.

Maybe those 2 I will fedex back! i came back from the states in 2002... just a bit after the sept 11 thingy.. i had my guitar in a hardshell case and to add safety i sent it to a mail store where they wrapped it nicely in bubble wrap and put it in a box... it was meant for luggage... got to the airport...the security ripped open the box and the bubble wrap just to check if i have a bomb or something inside... so the guitar is left with just the hard shell case... then i asked if i can take it in as a hand carry and they say no... have to go through luggage or shipped... took my chance and checked it in as luggage... in the plane i saw them 'throwing' my guitar to the conveyor belt into the plane.... i was screaming from inside the plan... not that they can hear... and worse of all... when i arrived in klia... the guitar was lost!!!... i immediately filled in a claim form and put the value of my guitar at RM10K (a LP was starting to linger around my head)... a week later a van came buy and i got my guitar back... seems to be in good condition except that it's travelled all over US... saw some luggage stickers of LA... phoenix... newark... dubai.... klia.... guess my warmoth travelled to more places than i did... the end... |

Erm..any guitar that u did recommend for starter like me. I am now currently reading wiki guitar and trying to understand the guitar and its functionreminder: try not to get a tremolo bridged guitar unless you know you'll use it. |
