not that soon.
i think bentley has a 1yr contract.

anyway, you can get SMX here to order from you from their HQ in SG.
price should be the same.

I meant one year la... Just around 8 months to go...

Better yet, buy directly from Sinamex in Singapore and get a 15% discount off Taylors, and a 5% discount off Music Man. Not sure whether can get these discounts if you buy through SMX though.

SMX here gives 10% on taylors.

buy your Taylor anywhere you want. Just avoid Bentley. Their margin of profit is simply stoning

maybe you'll like to go verify your prices again.
bentley's price is only 5-10% more than SMX here.

perhaps if SMX wasnt around anymore, bentley's price would be more.
but that obviously isnt the case.

i've heard you guys mention yamaha, taylor, A&L, GH, and etc but one of you mentioned Ibanez acoustic. I never tried Ibanez guitar before but will the sound quality produced by Taylor vs Ibanez has some difference? I looked at Ibanez website and some of their acoustic guitar are simply beautiful!

Btw, where is SMX located?

personal preference...
ibanez acoustics go nowhere near a taylor acoustic. i started learning on an ibanez acoustic.

smx is in times square, 7th floor. several floors above borders.

yea, just go SMX and try the taylors there.
after that you'll most probably wont want to try anything else.

too bad they sold the taylor T5, that was damn good.
the 12-string taylor is still there tho, go try that.

ok, i just got back from BTS and the reason i went there was just to test Taylor out. I walked in the shop, there were a few Taylor guitars only. I saw 1 of my favorite, 310ce. I asked the shop keeper if i could try it, he gave me the green light. I gently took it down and sat down on a stool, then i started to play a few of my favorite song. The 1st song i played was "Qing Fei De Yi" by Harlem and was BLOWN away how the Taylor performed! I was stunned, shocked, and told myself "i have to get a Taylor!". The responds on the fret board was so smooth! Something that i could hardly do on my RM400 acoustic guitar. I wanted to play the Taylor a bit louder but didn't have the guts to do it because im not buying it. I looked at the price tag and my eyes went BIG...it was RM6k++. I asked the shop keeper if got discount and he told me only 10%. Then i continued to play a few more song and then put back the 310ce to where it belongs. I chit chat with the store keeper and then went off.

Ok....what you guys said was true, if i would try a Taylor guitar, i wouldn't to try anything else and boy it was so true!!! I don't even want to play on my old Guitar any more... I want a Taylor! Ok, i've made up my mind, im getting a Taylor and it will be next year. Im going to reward myself with Taylor.
.
Now i know i will have a hard time to sleep today dreaming about a Taylor Guitar .

Told you..... Good luck on your purchase next year...... Maggi Mee for a year!

u should try out the Taylor GS with maple back n sides...it's even better....so far the best taylor i've tried...even better than then 14k taylor....

u should try freeman guitars sometimes...not only becoz i'm a student there..but the fact that the guitar there is quite good....full solid wood guitar at less than 2.5k....is worth trying it out....

whats BTS?
and a 310CE for RM6k?
how prices have increased in such a short time

as for freeman guitars.
well, his guitars are good enough for the price.
but a taylor, playing one you just feel like you become one with the guitar

bts = berjaya times square

wow u gonna save for that 6k taylor? good luck then.



Oh btw, any1 knows what's the cheapest taylor's price?

Taylors are stunning too when I first try them, got myself a 310CE (yes! same with the one barney tried) and that was my first one. After a time, Gibson Hummingbird sounds just okay but it's like suits my mood and feelings on the music I played, then I picked up the Gibson.

Awww...both is nice afterall. Still, I prefer the Hummingbird.

Rich fella spotted
using taylor 310ce n Gibson Hummingbird...

welcome to the taylor fanbase. see my avatar! hahaha

When I'm in Malaysia, it's really crazy to see how things expensive is. Understanding the Malaysian culture here for few years already and I really pity you guys.

In London, Fender, Gibson, Taylor or the other major brand, the pricing is slightly like half of the price.

To fix confusion, the pricing is the same but currency, salary and tax price are totally different.

hehe..i think London More expensive

Bentley's price is cheaper than London . from fender , takamine , boss , ibanez etc.

maybe...Gibson , ESP , PRS (anything from mahogany , GC , wohh fatt , beatspot) yea..UK cheaper
the rest is here..

oh yea..i heard those brit amps are cheaper also..marshall , VOX ..

I repeat,t his is the fact:
To fix confusion, the pricing is the same but currency, salary and tax price are totally different.

So, I'm not rich. I just love playing music.

For your information, I'm not Malaysian. I'm English.
