I tried the ovation copy, and to my surprise, the sound of the guitar is quite good unplugged.. not to mention the neck feels comfortable as well..

arr... i see, i din know that acoustic's truss rod are adjusted inside the sound hole.. silly me i did learn smth new today

well juz now i went to hav a survey at mahogany in amcorp.i told the person there to find a good one for me since he knows so much about guitar around my budget.he said he will call me in a few days,so most probably my problem is done and i maybe going for classes at there

mahogany...
do ask us for opinions and don't jump at the first suggestion they make, they have a bad rep...

yes, m*h*g*ny. super conjob.

which power chord do you guys usually use? the "small" one or the "big" one?
small one being the 1st and 3rd and big one being the 1st,3rd and the added 5th octave.

i almost never use the big ones nowadays, unless i'm letting it ring or something

hmm swet tooth, i tot power chords are usually the root and 5ths?

PathethicSoul: I heard many bad rumors about mahogany in amcorp from many forumers. Maybe u wanna try going to shops like bentley, doremi and woh fatt?

^

m*h*g*ny ?
they rip people off like nobody's business.
and also if you want to take any sort of classes from them, you HAVE to buy something from them first. then they'll pressure you to "upgrade" your equipment to something better.

aiyer..baru ingat problem solve..maybe tomorrow i go and giv a visit to yamaha in IOI or mid..T__T

Lol, all of us are learning here, so must share share ma..

Maybe u can go down to jalan ipoh and check out doremi, good service and budgeted price for samicks..
I know their staff there and they give excellent service .. Their price range are mostly for players with tight budget.

jalan ipoh??can giv more details..yeah maybe i can giv a visit..

If u are taking a public transport, get to the monorail and stop at the chowkit station, once u get off u ll see a shell nearby.. its across the road, direct opposite of shell.. It normally closes after 5pm and i think doesnt opens on sunday as well... Do share with us if u find any particular model to ur liking..

wokay wokay..today too late edi wanna go..

i was wondering f210 how much??the neck can adjust?

is it the wood or the strings that affects the volume of an acoustic guitar?..

i'll guess u need to wait for the pros to answer you ^^

well thicker strings produce louder sounds. i'm sure wood plays a big part too. wood definitely plays a big part in resonance, sound quality etc

IMO, wood is the biggest component in producing sound.. a wood that dun resonate well cant produce loud volume.. try comparing a cheap acoustic and a mid range one, even if they use the same string, on top of tonal difference, the volume differs greatly..

so which type of wood is good.. any ideas?

f210 should be about a hundred less than the f310. I'm not sure what's the differences though, they look the same, maybe different woods or sizes. Yeah it does have a truss rod, like most acoustics.

Just FYI I recently put in a new set of 011 strings in my f310 and it sounds really nice. I used to put in 09s and 010s because I can't take the high tension of higher gauge strings back then and it really doesn't sound as nice. Gotta work out the fingers though, for starters 011-012 are really hard on the fingers.

Something that bugged me of the f-310 is the slim fretboard they have. Apparently it is good for younger people or people with smaller hands. To me it makes it a bit harder to form chords and doing bends. The neck is a slightly V shaped neck(I'm not sure all of them are) that doesn't really suit me as well. It's personal preferences ler you gotta try it out yourself, and remember, any guitars at this price point are going to have some defects. But I gotta say among the budget guitars that I've tried, this one looks, feels and sounds the best.

Anyway, good luck getting your first guitar!
