Got my beginner kit there a month ago...can't say the discounts given are a lot, but they spent time with me on the basics and tested out the various guitars for me to hear and compare.

Saw some Epis there as well...but they're out of my budget heh

Bentley Damansara got.

But if not mistaken Bentley put price tag like 700++ right? how come 550 only?

so where is it exactly? is it at bentley or somewhere else

Need TS to clarify.
Last few years got one time i lepak Borneo, watching live band, the guitarist so damn powerful. Got one song he use Les paul, Alpine white, I mati2 thought is an Epi, i go closer to him while he shreds in front of stage, then i saw Santa Cruz

i bought Santa Cruz at JB year 2009, price rm600 that time. donno now...

what i can say Santa Cruz not bad at all... maybe looks cheap on the paint job... but

yeahh.. depends on the person who play lar..

Saw ur utube

alamak........ kantoi pula.....

I took my friend who wanted to look for a really cheap Les Paul, budget less than rm700. So first i took him to a guitar shop at Tropicana Mall to look at Warnell, but the quality really sucks. Then we went to Bentley to check out Santa Cruz, a lot better and cheaper. Settled for a Les Paul custom look for RM690.

Overall I would rate it 7/10 for a <1k guitar. Pickups muddy as hell, but it's got a nice Les Paul feel actually. Just need setup out of the box. Recommended other guitars but he's hell bent for a Les Paul.

I remember one forumer here posted his Warnell at flash us baby thread, the Warnell looks very nice, can see wood grain.....maybe it is earlier production

Yeah I saw that post too. But imagine the disappointment when I got to see it, the rosewood fretboard looks absolutely dry, there are cracks at the paint everywhere, bolt on and plywood construction. I would say the santa cruz is way better than that, even cheaper at bentley price.

what about washburn ??

the real santa cruz guitar is made in santa cruz, california. same place as where the famous bicycles are from. santa cruz guitars are super high end guitars, more expensive than martin and taylor. i think most models are above usd4000.
but in malaysia, they did not copyright their name
so some people simply use the name santa cruz and sell in msia.
tumpang glamor...
it is like they take a car from china and name it lamboghini.
