dont say singapore la.
u could take a flight to US, enjoy a nice holiday and come back with the PRS and spare change.

Looks like a good deal. The Valve Jr. is so cheap

If you make a trip to Bangkok, plenty of Gibsons at Central World plaza. Prices aren't too bad.

Yay. The return of Bman.

Wow, you really hate Gibson that much? You're probably a Fender fanboy.

Have you ever played a Gibson? I haven't and I think it probably pwns Fender and other brands.

btw, how can 3000$ be cheap to you? Their Melody Maker is just an entry-level Gibson at a low price. It's not a super-duper guitar btw.

Nope. He's the infamous bman.
I'm closing this thread because like any thread bman starts, it's quickly becoming a flame zone area.

Thanks for screwing another thread bman!

- Thread Closed -

-REOPENED-

I invised the offending posts and consider this a Warning to Batuapi or Bman........ one more post like that and it's another holiday for you.

Yup, I played a Fender. Maybe it's just not my type. That's why I think it sucks. I think the body and neck are too thin for my liking.

Sorry if I offended you lor.

so a proton is better than evo?

there are little things missing in the cheaper one that u dont notice until u actually play a better made guitar.
its these little things that contribute to the bigger price tag.

There are differences. I wanted to get an Epi initially.
Tried both Epi LP Standard and Gibson LP Standard Faded side by side at the store. Epi seems ok until I tried the real deal. Was blown away by the clarity and tone. But that was the last I saw of it, it was gone in less than a week.

hey, i got someone tat can help you find Gibson Les Paul Studio. His name is Eric Tjan. Go ask him for advicelar. but rememer to tell him which country ur fromlar.

You can also go

http://guitargasing.blogspot.com/. This is the famous Hub4thailand in soft.com.sg. They have all kinds of guitars also, but in sing dollars.
The guitars they show are really mindblowing. They are selling Gibson Les Paul Studio. You can check them out.

I hope this help in your quest for Les Paul Studio ( hope to own 1 in the future , but now i start dreaming first )

no you didn't offend me. I was just trying to be an idiot.

I love gibbies tone. Just that they're too freaking expensive

Reason why Gibson > Epiphone

-Better wood, electronics, hardware
-Better tuning machines to stay in tune
-Craftmanship. Looking at the finish a beginner know's what cheap already
-MIA VS MIC

but tone wise, it's very subjective. I've tried a few studios and some fadeds LPs against the higher end Epis like gold top and ebony one, I'll buy a Gibson instead. To remind you, it's subjective and that just came best to my ears.

TS, if you play metal, and if you were me, I'll pickup a Gibson LP studio, tell the 490RT and 498 pickups to FO, install EMG 81 onto them. Totally brutal, seriously.

wat bigger gap? ratio is almost same.
evo to proton price is about 6:1, rm50k to rm300k.
gibson to epi price ratio is slightly lower about 5:1, rm2k to rm10k.

so i think its a fair comparison.
of cos the guitars arent subjected to 300% tax or whatever, so the comparison is quite crap if compared to overseas prices.
if overseas, the proton will die cos can get ford mustangs for usd20k.

so yea, ur right, dont compare cos it will make the proton look real real real bad compared to international cars at the same price.

blademaster explained abit.
but for guitars, the best way to try is the clean sound, or my fav way is unplugged.
then u can see wats missing.

cos with distortion, almost everything can sound the same
