I've just....bought...my guitar.......

yes, I bought my guitar..........I should start the post with something like "I bought my guitar!!!" with as many exclamation marks or put in in capital letters "I BOUGHT MY GUITAR!" coz I've finally bought a guitar for myself rightt.....but that's not how I feel now...

I regretted buying it from the moment I step out of the shop.  

After surveying almost all the guitar shops in KL and PJ via internet, I thought Woh Fatt music house in Pudu is the best choice to get cheap/affordable guitar. Geographically also very convenient. And yes, they have alot of guitar brands and wide range of prices. And the staffs are friendly and helpful.

Right choice of shop....but wrong choice of guitar on my part....*cry* 

So I'm here to release my feeling give some advice to the beginners (like me) who are thinking of buying a guitar on a budget, from the advice I heard, the reviews I read, and the experience I learnt.  

If you're serious bout learning guitar but on a budget, try something around RM200-500. For instance, the guitar seller actually recommended a Hofma guitar which he offered RM280, and the touch is really not bad, wood also nice. And actually when you try searching through the net, you can find these better-quality-than-the-100-something guitars at plus-minus RM 300 such as L.Luthier. But I didn't much think bout that coz my mind was filled with: "I'm on a budget, try to get the cheaper." "I'm broke after repairing my car....so get the cheapest!"

So I didn't think twice and bought the cheapest one at RM145 inclusive of bag. Wayyyy below my budget and I should be happy bout it. It's the famous Kapok guitar.(If you get it from guitar shops in shopping mall, the guitar itself costs you 150.) A lot of people will recommend it as the cheap-and-quite-good guitar. well..better than the cheap techno guitars.

Now, someone, please smack my head and ask me to think bout long term, bout trying out other guitars, and it's not like I don't have budget for something like the Hofma guitar.......arggghh!!  

Okay, enough....for now I'll be contented with my kapok guitar. PTL!
