Personally I prefer Gibson Hummingbird.

For Taylors, it's really out of your budget.

Anyway, go try Yamaha's first.

Gibson Hummingbirds are even more waaaaaaaay off budget.

I'm just saying it's my own preferences. sleep.gif

Again, I recommend Yamaha within that budget.

Have you played a Hummingbird before? I've never seen anyone here who owns it. Not even second hands.. I was looking for a good second hand. Wonder why it's hard to find one here. Damn even the Epiphone Dove costs a bomb.

Yes, I played before. I own one.

Other than that..no idea about that.

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. tongue.gif

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

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. sweat.gif

there is no tax on malaysian instruments, only a 10% import duty.
while if im not mistaken, in the UK its a 17% tax on instruments.
its expensive here cos the shops mark it up real high.

Okay, I didn't know that but seems like my friends in town can simply get their instrument easily.
