hey guys,

wanted to get the yamaha f-310, since my f-210's neck patah......

anyway , i heard that SX acoutic guitars are good and cheap, some say comparable to a 2-3k guitar.

so i wanan go and hav a taste of it and see wat it can do, so wat model should i get, where and estimated price for it???


pls not more than rm800.

prefer solid top , and if ther is a pickup = bonus loh....

btw... guitar noob here. played with kapok, my dad broke it. my f210, my friend broke it. hopefully no 1 breaks my SX !!!!! sweat.gif sweat.gif sweat.gif

Well a solid top SX should cost around RM500 - RM900. Some more exotic models could cost more. Someone I know bought a SX solid top with a cutaway and pickup at slightly more than RM800.

wat is a cutaway ?

depends on what you're looking for
u want for strumming or finger picking

you want darker or brighter sounding?

@quarantined
their "exotic models" just use bubinga back and sides
supposedly it sounds much darker, i personally thought they sounded a little like rosewood with more bottom.

could u explain to me by wat u mean of darker and brighter sound ? i'm guessing that the brighter sound is more high pitch or sort right ?

Since your luck is bad with acoustic guitars,why not get an electric guitar? tongue.gif

cannot la.... electric need amp and stuff... susah.

woh fatt has a 12-string SX acoustic for RM300.
i was real tempted to get it, but the workmanship on that isnt that  great, maybe cos its a older model...and maybe thats why its so cheap also.

i guess now they would've improved abit.

12 strings ? for me impossible



so non of u actually recomend me a SX model or where to buy yet.... well ?

Yep, you got that right. Darker means it'll be deeper and bassier, brighter it'll be more trebly.

Give an idea of which artist do you like.

i like bands mostly... like matchbox20, goo goo dolls, lifehouse, the callings and so on

on the jiwang side, i like pete murray, jack johnson, John mayor stuff..... but they hard to play at my level.

i like strumming more and with some plucking solo would be nice.
