I bought my ESP 10 yrs ago in Malaysia, and I also went over to Singapore to check some out...I paid RM3.6k for my guitar, its the regular mirage series (no longer in production). And I saw the Kirk Hammett series going for around SD 1.6k at Davis....so yeah, Singapore WAS a hell lot cheaper to get ESPs....not sure about now.

BTW: I hate the Davis' boss...arrogant @$$hole....but his daughter was hot though.....

for sing prices.....
take the malaysian price, convert it, then take some 10% - 20% off it.
That's should roughly be how much you're paying for it in singapore
That's my rough estimation....I think it's around there =/

did i hear LTD ?? PM Dead Eye !!! he offers really good price ..

im not kidding .. altho i ffk him few times ady after asking so many questions (sorry calvin) very helpful person .. best price. no kidding.. dont waste ur time go singapore la juz ask Dead Eye ..

oh wait if to go down n buy axe from there...how much tax are they gonna impose on us?

If you put it in a gig bag and you look old enough to say "I went down Singapore for a concert", then they won't tax

Normally they won't tax.... but you never know. And I would actually rather buy it from Malaysia if it's maybe 100 or 200 cheaper.... mainly because the hassle and the worry of customs is just not worth THAT much.

and any warranty claims and stuff you have to go alllllllll the way back down to singapore and go through it again
sometimes its worth paying a little more to save you the trouble. don't forget petrol prices too

And if this is a beginner's guitar, there really isn't much difference in price. Trust me. You'll make it out easier buying the LTD in Malaysia......

If you're buying something like the ESP KH or Alexi Laiho guitar.

i'm getting my alexi laiho sig in a few months time ^^
lowest range though

Aiyo. Be a REAL laiho fan! Get a RR24!!!!!!!! Jackson FTW!!!!!!!!!!

Either that or a Custom ESP Alexi Laiho with Gain Boost!

PS: arrowhead inlays fail. luminous sawteeth ftw

im actually planin 2 go 2 my aunt's place 4 visit....but the priority is da guitar...LOL
i will also get 1 for my fren...so...it really save alot..he wans a esp explorer...kinda expensive here...hehe

its definitely expensive if you buy it from guitar collection. they mark up a whole lot. PM Dead Eye for a great price

Guys, what's the differences between the H models and the MH models besides the headstock?

mh series have floyd roses and 24 frets. H series have stop tailpieces and only 22 frets.

hey sweettooth.. i found that actually both also comes with 24 frets and both offer string thru bodies, though the mh has the floyd option as well. I guess the differences, besides the headstock,is the different maple top(one quilted another flame) and the pickups only. But I thought H series have that pointy headstock like the one used by Page Hamilton..

looks like they've changed their models beginning this year i'm outdated on H models never liked them.
notice how the models on their website is 51,101 etc? the -50 models used to have 22 frets and a stop tailpiece.
looks like now its ToM bridges but still 22 frets on the models below the 250 series. and also all -50 models this year have received "better" pickups, lh-150 replacing the former lh-100 though i dunno how different they sound like

which model r u looking for?
i might going down to davis tmr.

hey do check out the prices of the ltd deluxe for me can? For MH-1000 and H-1001.

and the prs se custom too! PLEASE AKEISER! =)

here is someone selling his ESP-LTD M-50 for 300SGD fixed, condition is so so.
but for this price, it's worth it i guess... =)

Added on November 11, 2007, 1:05 amPRS SE Custom was listed as SGD900 last year.
now dunno whether the price had increased or not. =)

i think 300sing is quite expensive considering a new one can be bought for a little less than rm1k

not sure about the new one, just saw this aid in soft.com.sg forum.

guys....guess wat. i cant afford a ex50 which is 430 sing. so i bought a bc rich warlock. hahaha which is only 330 sing(rm800). kl selling around 1.1k rite? yeah!!!

i bought it is not bcoz of da looks...its bcoz im on a tight budget(poor ah). i listen 2 alot of power metal actually,eventually it suits my style.yeah!!ill post sum picture soon.

M-100 ok anot? My brother just bought it .

i would prefer the MH series for a trem, MHNT series for no trem if i'm getting a superstrat. M series only have 22 frets

M-100 24 frets ..

Welcome to the BC Rich Family

bc rich family?!?! hahahah okok...can i join a club now?

if i'm not mistaken, i saw bc rich warlock somewhere in sgwang plaza for about RM8xx ... got normal wood type body and acrylic body also.

i use ESP basses. yes sg so much much cheaper. the Ltd F104 is SGD$450 in sg in KL is RM$1650. when i bought it comes with softcases, cables and some picks, etc..

when i bought the TA-500 LTD for Tom Araya basses hit me for SGD$900. i saw it in guitar colletion dun even dare to ask the price.

overall sg is cheaper for guitar, and theres a few guitar shops at peninsula plaza that gives good prices. Swee Lee is a bit ex. but if u know the ppl there and regular got regular prices.

check around

Does SG got many selections of ESP/LTD guitars? Prices here does look a bit HEAVY.

Anyone knows what is the difference between a LTD F-50 and F-10?

I've been comparing specs for both but they seem the same

u mean F-100 ?

i think he means the F-10 that comes with the f-10 pack
but if you do mean the difference between F-50 and F-100, the f-100 has a flamed maple top.

I suggest you to try them out first before buying it.. there are better guitars at your price range, agathis guitar is such a turn off.. the sustain and tone is very bad... Don't get me wrong though, I don't hate LTD/ESP guitars. I've tried the ltd ec-1000 and they sound very good.. lots of clarity, to be more specific... The high-end LTDs are good but not those low-end ones....

If you're into metal-looking guitars try considering Ibanez.. Their low-ends are better than ltd's in the long run..

P.S. Good luck in choosing your guitar..

Yes I'm referring to the F-10 that comes with the pack. The guitar is available w/o the pack as well. Kinda like the wicked design.

Hmm...thought of the JEM Jr also...but I've heard many negative feedbacks about it...and I'm assuming it's basswood body is a letdown?

I guess they are referring to the EDGE III bridge which is known to break easily..

And may I know why is Basswood body a "letdown"?

Do enlighten me.. I'm quite a newbie.. Thanks

perhaps the neck thicknest. the LTD F-50 would be the thin U neck, while the F-10 is the U neck, which is slightly fatter. and the pickups

Added on February 5, 2008, 1:55 pmy would basswood be a letdown? it would sound almost like the alder, just less body and lighter.

dead eye, bringing in LTD F-2E or not?

Hi Dead Eye...thanks for the info on the F-50/F-10.

I'm a newbie also...and my assumption on the basswood thingy was based on many guitar reviews I've read.

Found out this is inaccurate and wood selection is entirely an individual preference...each type of wood has their own qualities...more so after reading this article http://www.warmoth.com/guitar/options/options_bodywoods.cfm

This post has been edited by sljw: Feb 5 2008, 08:39 PM

sljw : Basswood is actually not a bad wood lah.. Heheh I think the only "letdown" of basswood is that it's a soft wood that dings easily if you accidently hit it somewhere.. The sound of basswood is actually not bad. Maybe that's why not many rock artists that move alot of stage choose Basswood for their signature guitars? ..

And Basswood's not so "warm" as Mahogany, coz the highs tend to ring out better than Mahogany. I prefer playing clean stuffs on my Mahogany bodied guitar.. Sounds warmer n more depth..

If there's a choice between Basswood and Agathis, I would take Basswood anytime.. Agathis is..... shit.

Now I'm wondering what to do with my other Basswood guitar that's in the same tuning.. Argh.

Yea I believe so...especially after reading the Warmoth article...ultimately our ears will be our judge heh

esp horizon fr-II! im GASing over it
how much is it in sg?

Please refrain from asking prices or availability from Dead Eye in this thread. If you need to ask, PM him direct or visit his own thread please. thanks.

I don't think it's wrong asking him casually.. it's not as if I'm asking him to seal a deal with me here. Didn't even drop any indication that I'm going to buy one. If I were to ask in his thread it will mislead him and think I'm a potential customer, when in actual fact I don't have cash right now.

Sorry anyhow.

does anyone here own any LTD with floating bridge? does the under license bridge hold the tune well?

i had a chat with an owner of MH-400 before, says that the bridge is quite good, so i wonder if the 100/103 series is the same...
