Hey guys, I've been doing some research and scooting to lotsa guitar shops trying stuff out. I'm a beginner btw, looking for my first electric guitar and after some trying out or so, I kinda like the LTD M-50's feel. But I have also read other member's ancient topics and posts (2006) that claim that it's overpriced in Malaysia.. Is that still so this year? If so, any other alternatives to a decent beginner guitar? Ibanez or Epiphones?

did you check out the garage sales?

yeah i checked but their still hard to come by.. and the price for a secondhand one isnt much cheaper than a brand new one!! are the LTDs in Singapore cheaper than in Malaysia then? anyone knows??

Yes. ESP/LTD guitars are quite expensive and overpriced compared to lets say Singapore.
But give Dead Eye a PM, as he usually can get dealer's prices on these guitars.

so they're cheaper in Singapore?

u dont hav to go to sg....
dead eye sure got wan...

no but if its cheaper there.. then i could buy them there, cause im going down to Singapore pretty soon! and im on a pretty low budget... anything to save a few bucks would help me

will the customs charge u tax? i'm curious, never done that before...

dunnoo.. i think they will, but maybe if u hide it under some bags... heh, last time they let my friend go through with a cd player O.O. 2nd hand though.

@TS: try get ur hand on one of those ibanez jumpstart package
