the best guitar investments right now are the vintage gibson junior and special models from 60s.
they are still somewhat affordable...USD5k max for most...
in 10yrs time im sure they'll hit USD20k


now back on topic abit.
if you're a noob and wanna get a $1-2k guitar, do not ever let the sales ppl test for you.
get someone go with you, and plug it into the biggest amp you can find

but then again, if you're noob, you wont be able to tell much difference.

so uhh, like always get a friend who can play to go with u.

and uhh, that green day guy is a noob...but his guitar is worth like RM10k...

billy armstrong arr? izit some washburn guitar?

Whack only la lol. That actually happened to me when i got my first electric earlier this year. All i could play was classical songs, so when i got to the shop and tested the electrics, i ended up playing classical songs on clean channel lol. The sales guy was staring at me. Then he said, "test the distort also la." Then i went "uh oh..." and started playings scales and some lame chords LOL was really blur dunno what else to play. Then i went "oh, yes very nice *nods head*" xD
So there ya have it. Just bang away without a care in the world what you're playing. Thats my advice to you lol

I supposehe 10k guitar is the Custom Shop LP Junior? Before that he was with his Fernandes Strat. Maybe tomorrow we will see alotta people testing in CK..

where is CK music anyway? and where is guitar store?

umm CK is about a 10 minute walk from bentley.....and for some odd reason I've lost my sense of direction. I can vaguely remember its down a slope and to the left, or something like that.

Oh, and at CK, try to get the malay dude as your sales assistant. it's somehow easier to bargain lower prices with him compared to the others

CK is on the road parallel to timesquare...jz need to walk further down from timesquare...

CK music having tis big promotion..year end sale thingy from today !!!

awwww crap you being serious? I just bought my multiFX in late october from them.....

Nevermind la.. october was so long time ago. BTW I think you'll only get a better discount if you buy stuffs that are more expensive right.

well, you spend more to save more. I never really understood that part.

do they stock up on SD pickups?

lol its already the next year .. but i'm still replying here =p
i ask my friend to go along with me .. thats what i always do =p

btw, i heard of this place in singapore .. i think specializes in taylor guitars .. my friend told me the shop keeper there never layans noobs one.. after you start playing he feel your good then he'll start recommending the guitar for you..
