hey guys didnt know there was a music section hehe. ok heres the deal, im looking to buy a new guitar and im really attracted to the les paul look.i surveyed in bentley and KL sg wang and could not find the guitar i want,
i asked them if it was possible to order an epiphone or esp. i just want to know where is a good place to buy/order guitars and with good service and price.

the guitars im probably looking for is a les paul epiphone custom *with modded emg pickups* or an esp clipse II. ( i want a good metal tone ) please help me on this as i want a new guitar bfore next gig.. thanx guys.!

For Epiphones, try Yamaha Beatspot in Mid Valley. And since you're there, you can also check ESPs out at Guitar Collection.

im selling my epi LP custom with EMGs

^Your epi is VERY tempting. I'd get it if I had the money. Heafy, you'd better be prepared for a new onslaught!

HeadHunter7 is comingggggg!! XDXDXD berangan aku ni.

Ridt_Henshin : LesPaul stuffs get from Everdying lah ... ESP u can PM dead_eye

the problem is that im not gonna buy a second hand guitar,coz its my parents whos paying.hehe..so i wonder if u can get an esp eclipse in malaysia? i checked out epiphones in mid valley and they were sold out.at yamaha la..the salesperson said if order next month arrive.lama lg :S haha anyway u think the guitar store near leisure mall does epiphones or esp orders? thanks!

Guitar Collection in Midvalley has a few Eclipses. You should check them out. Also, ToneZone studios has a few ESP Eclipse lying around.

tumpang thread

what about Kramers? anyone know where can I get one?

Sorry mate, You can't find Kramers here. Your best bet is to order online.

guitar collection? ive never been there.which one is it? i thought there were only yamaha and rhapsody hehe...and estimation price for eclipse?

GC is at the top most floor. Its near to the cinema..^^

EXPENSIVE. Guitar Collection charges quite ridiculously for their guitars. Seriously, you're better off ordering from Dead_eye or check out tonezone studios.

don tell ur parents the truth?
or convince 'em.

seriously, everdying's lp is very tempting. kekeke.

Ridt_Henshin : Errrrrr... I dont think Everdying and Dead_Eye sells only 2nd hand dude. They can help u with new ones too.. You'll get skinned alive buying from Guitar Collections. Just my 2 cents..

It's your money anyway

Dead_eye sells all his stuff new. Everdying's Les Paul is actually a VERY good buy as it was personally modded by him and plays AWESOME.

dude, ask your parent if they want to adopt me, i want a new guitar to....heehehhe

have u try xtone by ESP ?
i have one to let go....il upload the pix on my blogspot soon
its a honeyburst semihollow wit bigsy trem

Careful..... Xtone are Semi-Hollows....
Don't think you can really Metal Shred on those things......

BB King Shred..... fine...... But Trivium Shred? I doubt.

Kramer?Got...http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/356223 only 2 models tho.

the only esp i like is the eclipse cause it has the same les paul-ish kinda shape i love les paul designs... i wonder if i can mix and epiphone lp custom with emg pickups

A Gibson Les Paul Studio is around RM6-8k. Second hand definitely cheaper, but since you don't want 2nd hand, better not.
The LP Standard? We're looking around 9k to around 14k depends on the condition.

Another option, if you don't mind the paintwork, is the Epiphone Zakk Wylde LP. It's the best sounding epi Les Paul (To me at least), has a decent weight to it, and also have EMGs (Passives, but it's so good, you can't tell the diff. I switched to actives because I'm a Zakk Wylde nut ). It retails for around RM4k here.

How much would a LP Custom cost then?

Epi LP Custom is around 2.5k-3k range.

Gibson LP Custom........ if you need to ask, you can't afford it.

Haha, I am really interested to know, since I am new to guitars. I have a Epi SG model btw. But i do not know the exact model. How can i identify this?

the guy at yamaha midvalley said itll cost me 3.5k for a epi Lp Custom...will it sound good with emg pickups? no offence but im not really into the whole bullseye thing.not my style hehe but i dont think ill be getting my guitar any soon coz im stuck with chickenpox and it sure is painful.!!

Yeah, the Epi Les Paul Custom sounds GREAT with EMG actives. But like I said, the bullseye design, not many people like it, so no worries. However, that being said, I still find the wood quality, weight and tone of the Zakk Wylde Custom better then the LP Custom.

FYI, a set of EMG 81/85 pickups would cost you around RM700. Plus about RM130 for installation and setup, it would come up to around 4.3k......

bullseye design?u mean the zakk wylde? im not getting that one.im getting the black epi les paul custom fixed with emg .so the best place to get this is probably mid valley i suppose?

Again, there's no stock Epiphone Les Paul besides the Zakk Wylde LP Customs that comes with EMGs. You'll have to buy the EMGs separate and then send to a luthier to get it installed.

yeah that was what im trying to do i guess.im thinking of doing it at the guitar tore leisure mall

I sent my Zakk Wylde Les Paul to install Active EMGs at Guitar Store in Desa Hartamas. Excellent service (Charged me about RM50 per-pickup and an extra RM30 for re-setup as I changed the string gauge from .42-.10 to .60-.10), amazing clean job, and as a bonus, added in an extra battery clip as my Actives needs it's own separate battery to power everything.

I would suggest you trying out the Epi LP Custom AS IS without modding the pickups first. If it's powerful enough, stick with it. If you REALLY have itchy fingers, then the EMGs would be a good fit also.

I don't really like the Epi LP Custom because I feel it should have more weight to it (I like my LPs heavy as hell), which surprisingly the ZW LP has quite a bit, but according to Everdying, still not as heavy compared to even a Gibson LP Standard.
