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.

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.
