I would like to go because it's only 1 hour trip from here but I am not confident in getting the stuff across the border without being taxed because I am sure MFX and AMPs are taxable under electronics.
30 percent worrrrr...

cross the border havta pay tax ?... hmm...

I don't understand it.I thought guitars are not taxed,but yesterday I chatted with someone and he said electric guitars are taxed because of the electronics.So now electric guitars are taxed or not?

musical instruments not taxable la. don't worry. biggrin.gif anyway, the customs officer couldn't be bothered. there're like only 2 officers.
http://www.kastamjh.gov.my/kastamjh/pelancong2_eng.php

if they ask, just say the guitar is yours and you're back from a gig in singapore.

i always go across the causeway. they don't normally check. chatting more like it haha.. if you go my motorcycle, no check at all.

if you want to go swee lee, go to the sims drive branch- it's bigger. but for various reasons, many of singaporeans themselves don't like swee lee. peninsular excelsior plaza off city mall mrt is a better place to go. in that plaza itself already got more guitar shops than the whole of kl! it's also walking distance from bras basah complex. oh, btw, there're also a few music shops in bras basah complex apart from swee lee.

Of course need to pay tax if kena discover. YOu intend to smuggle and get caught and fined ah?
Guitar maybe you can get away but for the electronics i doubt it.
Some more our customs are corrupt, no tax also if they say got tax, Ikut Suka Dia.

it should be a problem bringing a large number of guitar back, but no prob for just a single or 2 guitars

canu state out the various reason? biggrin.gif
So another recommended place is Plaza off city mall mrt ?

What about guitar amps leh?

guitar amp they will tax untill you have to beg at wong ah fook biggrin.gif hehe... just joking. not sure about that one.

sarcast, here's a singapore music forum where i always hang out. you can learn a lot about other music instrument shops there and swee lee of course...

www.soft.com.sg

main reason they don't like swee lee is the lcly attitude of the salespeople. for example they don't allow people to bring bags inside, not willing to entertain window shoppers or allow test guitar, etc.. here's my experience:

i went to bras basah branch. i had a small shoulder bag with me, so i ignored the "LEAVE YOUR BAGS OUTSIDE" signboard. well, they didn't tick me off but a salesperson was trailling me like so scared i can shoplift a fender with my small bag laugh.gif what they had there? lots and lots of squier, ibanez, yamaha.. very, very mainstream stuff. didn't see one cort, peavey, warwick or jackson... there was a glass wall room that was locked with a big "NO ENTRY" sign. this room has some fender and gibson (nothing else).. actually it's really dissapointing! all the stuff can get in bently. i heard actually bently gets their stuff from swee lee.

so i went over to Peninsular Excelsoir Plaza, guess what? all sort of rare guitars there. there's a shop called davis guitar even got doraemon and hello kitty shape guitar. there's another small shop called guitar themes sell lots of godin and carvin. they stack up rm10k+ guitars on the wall rack and allow people handle and test even! so if you ask me to go swee lee.. tak payah la.. excelsior, yes!

here's another shop just off the causeway in woodlands. they are good at defying the "cheap thing not good thing" rule. they did a good job sourcing quality budget stuff: www.standardvalue.com.sg i love this shop also..

yea, just go peninsula enough.
most ppl also go there just to visit davis so can kacau the boss' daughter.

there was also a shop that sold lots of metal cds and stuff at the same floor...but couldnt find it during the crue concert...guess closed down already.

i also never really bother going to sweelee either.
