Does Anyone know where can i get a Gibson Les Paul Studio Vintage Mahogany around K.L. music stores ? What about the price for that guitar ? Is it about RM5000++ ? thanks.

woh fat????

The vintage mahogany shouldn't cost u more than 4k.

I didn't see woh fatt's selling Gibson Les Paul Studio ( Vintage Mahogany).. They sell Les Paul Standard & SG...

It shouldn't cost me over RM4000 , Really ? After the conversion of MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price) for Gibson les paul studio vintage mahogany from official Gibson.com ..USD1379 - the price is over RM5000 ..

bentley?

In KL, almost impossible for around Rm4k. I remembered there was a Swamp Ash one in Woh Fatt for around Rm5650.
Your best choice is either through Dead Eye, or go down to Singapore yourself and get it.

And no, Bentley doesn't carry Gibsons OR Epiphone.

MSRP is as it says, Suggested.
street price in US is usually 30% less that.

but since this is malaysia, expect to pay more than the MSRP...unless u go singapore.

E-bay???

Here's one to whet your appetite Dont mind the epiphone.
I saw one sold in Bangkok new for about RM 3800? more or less...but that was last year. If you could get your hands on one..it's really a player and a smooth neck.

Perhaps I can ask Woh Fatt or The Guitar Store to order one for me ? but i m sure they will mark up the price like hell...

I have Gibson Les Paul with the powerful p90's pickup...and Fender Stratocaster American Classic Customshop with texas Special pickups.

Really....after playing the Les Paul...the Fender sounded so thin and...funny! I'm not biased cos I have both...and I'm merely stating a fact...so you Fender die-hards no need to flame me. LOL!

I bought the Les paul from Woh Fatt more than 10 years ago. That time it was already more than RM3.5k! Bought the Fender from Bentley in 1999 for the same price too.

Is you like Les Paul...go for the p90's. They are amazing. Not blur and dark tone like humbuckers. P90's have garnered great reviews for its super strong 'bite' and 'in your face' mids. It's a very beefy pickup...equally adept with Rock and Roll, metal and Pop.

Yea , The legendary P90 crunchy sound is so versatile, especially for Rock N' Roll n Blues... By the way. Can you show a picture of your lovely 10 year-old Gibson Guitar ?

chester...too lazy to snap photo and upload etc..

Mine is a sunburst color.

Well.. It's Ok .. But i just wish I have the chance to enjoy the beauty of Your Les Paul . By the Way , Do you guys think i can order a Gibson Les Paul Vintage Mahogany from Woh Fatt ?

u could, but woh fatt are no longer distributors for gibson.
if u really want, can always call sweelee in SG and ask them to...
if u have time, taking a trip down and up etc, u will still save money.

arrrrrrrrrrrhhh... It's really that hard to get a genuine Gibson here... Unlike in U.S.. everything is in The Guitar Center in Hollywood. I've heard The Guitar Store Distributes Gibsons too.. How about if I Order from them ? It's really costy and troublesome to back and forth from Singapore.

Wouldn't it be more costly and troublesome to order it from the US? You know, shipping costs, declaring and claiming it at customs and all that crap?
Or just PM Dead Eye and see if he can get it back from Singapore for you.

its definitely more troublesome to order from the US.
take a day off, buy bus tickets from 1u (RM115 two way), save money eating in the bus or buying from stalls when the bus driver takes a break in msia. reach singapore, take the mrt and walk to the shop to your guitar, take the bus home. all in 1 day.
total cost? RM115 + mrt ticket cost + some cheap malaysian food

i did that for my PRS paul allender se

uhh, thats cos guitar center has a major share in gibson?
malaysia has no gibson distributor, swee lee singapore handles both sides...so basically guitar store are just a dealer.

Wow , that's cool way of getting your beloved guitar. Haha. I wish I could do that too.
