It's a little messy, so if you can put up ONLY the prices now, we can keep it more manageable. Thanks!

Hi, I am looking for an acoustic or semi acoustic guitar below 1K. Any other recommended ones beside Yamaha F310?

Still weighing options:
Les Paul-100 + Microcube
Secondhand Mexican Strat + standard practice amp + guitar tuner.

Any recommendations? highest budget is 1.5k.
Was playing acoustic all my life, and I'm going into the electrics now.

secondhand mexican strat(im assuming its a fender) + secondhand microcube..

forget the LP 100.
either the mexican strat, or a brand new samick Avion / Torino.
those samick's are very good value at around RM700-900.

then u can add in a Vox DA-5 or AD-15 to bring it up to RM1.5k.

hi , i'm getting my 1st electric to play. i went to bentley, curve just now and found that microcube there cost rm 990 ? but forumer here selling rm300 more or less, so what's the different between these two ? thanks alot

i think only ah.. wat u saw is the microcube rx.. different from the normal m.cube.. the rx more high tech..hehee.

owh , isee , thanks !

+1 on the Samick Greg Bennetts, if you can find a used Artist Series, it'll also do...

i dont know about you guys, but when i was hunting around for my first guitar, i dropped by doremi in jalan ipoh or wherever it was.. and found the Samick Greg Bennett AV3 i was looking for, so i was all psyched up that i found it, tested it out, and for some reason i just didnt feel right. and after reading all the great reviews about the Samicks on the net, i was pretty disappointed.
nevertheless, mostly self preference i suppose..
i reckon go for the 2ndhand mexican strat, more worth it in the long run!

whats the price for avion?

I just get myself a guitar last week, and the price is only 1k..

Squier Tele (afinity model) + Ibanez IBZ10G AMP

acoustic guitars below 1k?

PVCpipe, if i can recall, it was just below 1k. so around 800 or so. its cheap alright..

Around 700-750...

whats the price for VOX AD50vt?
new and 2nd hand
made in korea

Should be around RM850 brand new from CK Music.

i am selling fender precision bass cij.
do pm me for details.

nice guy....
N WHY IM PROMOTING HIM...gawd....i dont even know him but he helped me back den...

3 strat copy shape n 1 les paul copy shape guitar...
price range i forgot
lowest package price RM6xx
highest package price RM9xx
i bought the same as PVC 2nd one

they used to list...them....but now u hav 2 ask...

huh, to compensate the lost of the tuner they replaced the 15w amp to a 30w one?? where is this place? how are you finding the package so far?

I got a Stagg Les Paul copy + Marshall MG Series for RM 800 something.

Pros: (Everything) it has sealed tuners, mounted neck,(no screws) dual humbucking pickups, custom inlays on the fretboard, full body binding (inlays) & an excellent finish.

Cons: dont dislike anything so far.

Quality: The construction and quality of the guitar are similar of that to an epiphone or even a cheap gibson, afterall these are just "names" and unfortunately with some guitars all you are aquiring with your money...is the "name".

Since so far electric guitars :

Ibanez PF60S (acoustic dread) - RM 700+. I saw blue ones in Bentley.

Solid Engelmann (I think, looks like it) spruce top, mahogany back and sides. Wood grain is very nice on the mahogany, very tight and even on the spruce. Fretboard is rosewood, it has cream binding and synthetic bone nut and saddle. Comes strung with .11s, I changed to .12s. Ibanez 'smooth tuners' that look like Gotohs. Built in tuner but mine doesn't work.

Guitar bought this year but made in August 2007 according to serial number and made in China (not by Cort).

To me it's better and worth more than the RM 1000 Yamaha FG700S I saw in Beatspot and Yamaha (LDP).

Pros : Sounds beautiful plucked and bright strummed. The solid top makes it sound a lot louder than a lam top. The wood looks good. Comes with synthetic bone. Compensated saddle. Better than plastic, but I'm changing to genuine bone soon. Very shiny mirror-like lacquer finish. It is very heavy meaning good construction (I think) and has X bracing. Not that fragile. I've banged it a few times by accident and it comes away with no scratch or a minor one. Intonation and action good 'out of the box'.

Cons : Neck is like an electric guitar and my hands are quite big so it hurts after a while. I swear it's slightly bigger than a normal dreadnought. Nitpicking but - no fancy headstock, standard inlays and a really stupid 'RoHS Directive' 'sticker' at the back. It's like it's laminated on the lacquer so I can't take it off.

Thanks for the info.
I'm actually quite new to electric guitars, previously just played some acoustic guitar.
Urs is the Craftsman red color 1? how do u like it? the package comes with a microcube, and what else is in the package?

I'm more into soft rock like red hot chillie peppers. What kind of electric guitar is good for me? budget around 600-800
Thnx....

rhcp is punk rock not soft =,=.. if u want play rhcp.. the best is strat which the craftsman offer... cause thats 1 JOHN PLAYS!!!>.

EpsilonStar

^^^
like what he said....

my strat is the 2nd one....i pick the black one...not rly black...but black
n the most expensive package...is the LP copy ones RM9xx
the package comes wif Line 6 Spider III 15 but PVC got 30...but no tuner >.>
LUCKY YOU PVC...
u'll get a tuner,cable,gigbag....picks hav 2 buy own haha....
the guitar is kinda okay...

i got 2 ckmusic picks.... just ask them for the pick

This post has been edited by PVCpipe: May 12 2009, 07:06 PM

haha really no idea of the genre, coz its softer than other harder rock style music, so i tot is soft rock.

I just emailed ck music last nite, they said the promo packages just ended, but they have some new guitars coming in and they are trying to work out some more packages, and when they r done, it will be published on their website... But got 1 forumer oso pm me some offers...
But it seems i have so much to learn about electric guitar yet, i think i need to research more b4 bang on 1...

the line 6 spider is an amp rite? tuner is a device used to tune the guitar string?
the guitars u get is single coiled? isit humbuck more superior or depends on the genre u are playing?

and... just wanna share... the delivery to my home(kuala terengganu) is rm 25 which i think is ok la.... my craftman is a s-s-s strat copy..... i think its depend on what kind of music u play..... well like me, the guitarist(that i liek) use edward guitar,... so i choose to have the same guitar(look) like him ... for the amp, its really good for me, i get to play with several kind of effects .... and got 4 channels, clean,crunch,metal and insane, most i use is crunch coz the song that i play doesnt need the heavy distortion

Ehh.......i just realize that you're from KT too LOL. BTW where in KT do you stay?Do you play with band or something?I believe you play alot Jrock then.Anyway my cheapest elec. guitar is my Ibanez JEM jr. Modded with seymour duncan invader neck and bridge.Surely some will ask why not DiMarzio Evo? Simple because i already got DiMarzio Evo on my JEM7VWH.

This post has been edited by Wyldemdd: May 12 2009, 11:54 PM

....the offer juz ended? r u sure?
pvc u juz bought it rite?

hehe.... im staying in losong.... no im not in any band.... juz play on my own.... im not good yet... juz learn how to play with some l'arc en ciel songs, usually i play bass hehe.... btw u must be pro edi... ur cheapest one is ibanez jem.. wow... do u know any place for servicing the guitar or repair amp here?

yeah.... juz bought it last month.... hmm... try to talk with Mr. Amizan if u call them.... said that u friend bought it last month for rm 777 or something...

here the snap of what they gave me

Hmm...normally i service my guitar myself (those basic things) and amp i send to KL for repair (if amp got problem).But last time when i owned a cheapo Aria pro strats,i send the service to my uncle's friend.He's pinoy and very good at jazz music and he play at park royal hotel before.But 1st choice will be bring it to KL music shop for service and repair since they got all the spare parts there compare with in KT,which lack of spare parts and also repairing services.

I'm not really that pro,just been playing since i'm 16 and gain some experience with it.

This post has been edited by Wyldemdd: May 13 2009, 05:20 PM

are u in a band? which area do u stay?

Nope,currently play alone with backing track at home too.TBH not much time playing it since busy with work.My band disband like 10 years ago after all went to study in college/U.

I stay at Gong Badak.

anyone can offer me the best price for an Epiphone G-400 here ?

Epiphone G-400? I believe it's the SG gothic right? Well you can find bro Deadeye or Burgercis for the price.They give really nice price.

what should i get for a first guitar if i wanna play
Japanese-rock or simple plan , green day etc

a) squier fat strat + marshall mg15 = where the cheapest can i get this?
b) craftsman les paul copy + Line6 Spider 15w = rm900@ck music i heard promotion
c) Squier Deluxe Stratocaster 2nd hand (Duncan Designed SC101 Single Coil) = rm900
d) SX Les Paul Custom Copy (black) + Marshall 15 dfx + g1.x + gig bag + 2 cable (2nd hand all)= rm1500

z) u name it >D

for j-rock ...=X

errmmm... for me, i see what kind of guitar the the guitarist(the band that u listen) is using..... i use the craftman strat+ line6 30... coz the guitarist use edwards or fernandes strat... ... so far im satisfied.... im a nubie, so just on the crunch channel, walla, its edi feel the same tone/music like the song that i want to play. i hear no different while the other pros are very sensitive to find the right tone, they even change their guitar.... btw i play laruku

This post has been edited by PVCpipe: May 20 2009, 08:41 PM

oo ic
hehe i think i gonna get
squier deluxe strat + micro =1200?

Don't get a tuner,Get a Zoom 707 or Digitech RP200/250/300 it has a built-in guitar inside

built-in guitar?

obviously he meant guitar tuner

ibanez gio vs squier deluxe strat

opinions>?

just got myself an sx les paul copy...haha, im impress wif da quality...gonna rape her hard tonite..hehehehe

where did ya get it from? wat color?

I reckon Ibanez Gio. I myself am using it. Its slightly cheaper, so you can save on your amps and its suitable to play from rock to metal.

ya if u wanna get smthing more rock into it go for the humbucker one..

hey guys im trying to find a bass and decent bass amp for my friend, he's gonna play with our band so if possible, we need an amp thats big enough to play with the drum set. we play more pop/rock stuff, no metal his budget is around 1.2k. thanks.

Any ideas for Fender 75 MIJ Jazz Bass Reissue ? Had trouble finding the price.

I'm looking for Fender Japan Strat

hey anyone know the price of the new vox tonelab ST?

yo guitar heroes!

can you guys help me a little?

i'm trying to find an Ibanez RG350M.

can you tell where can i find it. A quotation for the guitar is also greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

Any good acoustic guitar around rm700-900? Prefer solid top, dreadnaught, with pick-up.

im looking for the same specs as la bella! hehe any suggestions?

hi fellas im in KL wanna find some cheap n decent electric guitar + amp package <1K any recommendations ? or shops in KL to start looking ? thx ya !

hi all guitarists.

my friend had asked me to recommend him an electric guitar and an amp for a budget of rm1000. i told him to get a squire and a microcube.but i forgot he's lefthanded.does squire has left-handed guitars? if they do which shops sell them?

oh and any other suggestions for left-handed guitar and amp below rm1k? i think he can stretch a bit if exceeding rm100-200.

thanks

They do have it ... But I would recommend Ibanez / Yamaha over Squire . For the amp , Doesn't have to be Roland M-Cube for a starter if you're talking about that microcube.

Just house practice , 10 / 15 watt amp enough.

yamaha pacifica eh? if ibanez what model? i don't know any good entry level ibanez guitars. microcube is 2 watts i think.

2 watts ? You mean the Marshall Microcube ? The really small one ? Ibanez Gio series or SX series . Yamaha would be good also for the Pacifica .

Hi all,

Looking for advice and opinion here.
I've been playing classical guitars for quite some years.
Now wanna try acoustic guitar.

1. Should I buy a beginner acoustic guitar such as Yamaha F310 or other recommendation?

2. Is it good idea for me to buy an electric acoustic guitar instead with a budget Rm500 maybe? Any suggestion?

3. Wondering, can those electric acoustic guitar plug into those hi-fi / home theater amp?

Thanks in advance for anyone who willing to enlighten me.

if u have the money, or at least anything quite abit more than RM300, then dont go for the F310.
for RM300, the F310 may be good value...but u still get what u pay for.

around the RM500 range, the takamine D-series is highly recommended.
i've tried a couple and its definitely miles ahead of the F310.

there is no point paying extra for electric acoustic if ur not gonna be performing.
most cheap ones with electrics have crappy ones anyway.
but if u wanna check some out, woh fatt sells the Fina brand...solid tops / no idea what pickup / RM500+.

also why do u wanna plug into hi-fi? unless ur seriously deaf and cant hear the sounds of an unplugged acoustic.

Thanks for the info. Maybe I was poisoned wrongly from a friend who own electric acoustic.
Takamine D-series also electric acoustic?
Fina? I will research on it.
Plan to buy my first acoustic, wondering just go for low end Rm300 guitar or invest more.

takamine d-series the rm500+ is pure acoustic...not sure if got electric acoustic.
but it feels much more solid and nicely build compared to all the F310's i tried.
anyway, bentley sells them.

the neck feels better for me, and most importantly the fretjob also is so so so much better than the F310.

if ur looking at Yamaha tho, the one thats higher up from F310...the F370 is pretty decent with much better fretjob than F310...but that i think is RM700...tho at that price can look at other brands that can offer more

Hi all im new to the guitar. I am planning to get one soon but i dont have a big budget. Im not looking for electric. Just something i can take out and play at my pleasure. Any recommendation ?

I saw some pau chia and ibanez today in penang island and they were priced at RM380 and RM360 respectively. That should be around my budget but if an increment of RM100 for something relatively better. I might make the go for it.

Please give me your thoughts and recommendations.

Is every music shop also selling the same brand?
Which is the recommended guitar to look for those guitar?
I plan to buy an acoustic guitar, good padded casing, capo, etc.
Will decide on which guitar to buy after testing and 'feel'ing it.

hi..... just want to tell but my trip to cmmusic(skudai johor), was there to change my gtar tuner, coz yesterday i bought the wrong one. i want the one that have metronome, but i was soo dumb that i though every chromatic tuner have built in metronome..... so they were kind enough to let me change although i forgot to bring the receipt, bcoz the bos still remember me... and yesterday when i do my shopping, they took my name, hp num and address . they said if got clicnic/function, they will inform me, coz maybe im interested..... so when i was waiting for the boss, bcoz he was servicing somebody else, i browse around and saw an OLP stingray copy bass(4 strings) price at rm1000+-, but not more than rm1500 i think.... i heard the company edi stop doing the olp brand, so just want to inform , maybe some of u guys interested with OLP bass... and there was also 2nd hand guitars, i saw an ltd, a sammick(RM530), ibanez rg...
so thats it... just want to share some info

This post has been edited by PVCpipe: Jul 23 2009, 04:18 PM

Just came back from Guitar Store @ Damansara Perdana .
They didn't sell Yamaha or Takamine.
Was being recommended a Farida D8. Rm500++, within my budget.
Not bad, sounds quite good and easy to play with.
Didn't buy yet. Still wanna try other guitar.
Preferable not the 'classical' colour anymore, since already own 2.

i do have a 2nd Yamaha acoustic. forgot the model (will update). is a MIJ, selling of for Rm900..
nice condition..

for those beginner electric guitar player........

as the first step....with your budget around RM 1000.....

for strat...get SX or Squire.....
for LP ....get SX....or Craftman...or Samick....LP price is quite high..

get a secondhand amplifier (cheaper)...10-20watts...around RM 150-250

get a multieffect...can get new Zoom G1 or G1x around RM 300


find them in classified/garage sales thread.....got many good secondhand stuff there...mostly performance as same as a new ones...

...just helping and giving some tips.......

dah lah.......anak kacau la....nanti gua edit balik kalau ade yg terkurengg....

anyone have any suggestion on 12 string acoustic guitar? last time i saw at bentley damansara, only one unit bout rm300, but forgot the brand..

Squier strat is around 1k?
May i know where i can find them in KL area?

you can get new squire strat around RM 6xx-1k price.......just go to Bentley Music Mutiara Damansara(Ikea,The Curve area....opposite Tesco...above Courts Mammoth..)...or at Bukit Bintang....can get 10% off(normally)....

if you want Yamaha,they are now having promotion sales at Yamaha Music at Kelana Jaya(along LDP)...near to Kastam Di Raja Malaysia HQ.......or try get SX strat....cheaper,better sound..
