where to get cheap and good guitars

[ken20008]

Hi, I'm looking for budget, less than 300 bucks electric guitars.

I want buy one from Davis, advisable?

Or anywhere else....?

Thanks in advance!

if you're just looking for the guitar itself (excluding the amp and all), i guess most shops will have a range of sub300 guitars.. .g sweelee?

how about searching different brands through their website, see what you'd like?

i feel Davis is okay

you can try their OLPs, but i guess it's gonna be more than 300.....just a guess nv really walk deep into the store to check out the guitar.

otherwise, one of the nearby shops at Peninsula carry the brand Stagg, iirc is 299...but the workmanship left me much to be desired

Bukit Timah Plaza also has a shop (outside cold storage) selling guitars, didn't note down the price though.

I tried a Telecaster at Davis before, although aiming for the Ibanez copy for it looks better and has humbuckers (i want to switch to full size humbuckers when i get cash).

I have tried the Strat copies at the Bukit Timah shop. Not too bad, but need more quality.

IMO if you're gunning for changing pickups, i rather you save more for a better guitar.. don't waste a good pickup on a guitar with substandard woods.

standard value would be a good place to look.

yup mike has good guitars that go for pretty low prices.

for lp style, try Rally guitars.

for strat style, can try Smash by Swing and Tibre guitars.

all available at standardvalue.

i plan to buy the Ibanez GAX30. Advisable?

[illegaltender]

I've never played one but the Rally les pauls looks really good

[astaroth]

i wouldnt buy low end ibanez because i really don't like their feel, but of because thats my own opinion. i've heard lots of good reviews on rally and timbre axes at SV might wanna chk them out.

but do they sound good? and how is the fretboard like?

i really feel like getting the ibanez lol...

[astaroth]

i can't remember how gax sounds already lol, haven touched one in a very long time. go sweelee test test lorz if u really like it then just get it.

[ken20008]

lols, just found out standard value sells the ibanez grg121 at 300.

this is weird, since i tried the same guitar at sweelee (my avatar pic) like in june wayy back last year, and it was 400. now its 300 at standard value?
