Where to buy Guitar?

[carlos]

Anybody here would like to recommend a music store. My daughter wanted a guitar. I bought 1 few months back at Lumanog's near SM Centerpoint but it seems that the 1 i bought is not of good quality. While tuning it, biglang nabasag yung kahoy sa may tuning keys. Di naman mahigpit. Well i bought it for 700 pesos, what do i expect? San maganda bumili? Wag lang sana malayo recommended shop.Thanks!

try JB sa SM city .. . .got mine, Montana brand, made in thailand for 5k. ..sale kasi..original price was 7k .. sold it already kasi i quit music/band to focus on other priorities. .best advice is to test it. . as in 20 minute testing and observing kung hindi nawawala sa tono. . .next is i check the fit and finish. . .

montana acoustic review ko. . good fit and finish. .very well crafted. . . sound was very good for an unknown brand. . fat and bright. . not tinny like those cheap sounding ones. .. didnt go out of tune. .

Thanks tukayo, caloyski! but i find the brand you recommended to be expensive. My daughter is just 11 years old and she's a beginner.

Is there any Yamaha store in Quezon City, say Cubao, Robinson Galleria, SM Megamall? Ongoing pa kaya ang SALE nila. Anybody here knows their contact numbers?

cheap na panget or okay din?so sa lyric na nga ako bibili?

[BlueBimmer]

meron sobrang cheap pero meron din ung 1k+, 2k+. mahirap lng nga dun masikip, mas ok lakarin

[BlueGirl]

pero ok naman ang quality kung dun bibili?pareho lang ng nsa mall?

[zidane21]

ok na rin po yung sa lyric (1100php) depends po yun ngayon sa "music-feel" nyo kung tugma po yung guitar na yun sa needs nyo.

Lumanog (malapit sa bilihan ng mga trophy) is around the Sta. Mesa area malapit sa SM. here's a tip.. kung newbie pa lang, get the nylon strings muna and have someone you trust and who's knowledgeable help you out.

picking out an acoustic guitar can take you the whole afternoon of tuning and plucking around.. but for that range 1-2.5K, ok na yun..

Try also the RJ (Ramon Jacinto) Music Stores. These are Philippine-made and good quality pa. Not so pricey too as the imported ones. Yamaha mas ok but mahal.

RJ and JB come to mind for new ones... Have you asked her guitar teacher on good second hand sources? For beginners ok ang second hand na good quality.

Yamaha has this clearance sale every October, and Perfect Pitch is a Yamaha store, there used to be one in SM City, but I'm pretty sure other SM malls have one too.

Pero if she is really serious about it, a guitar is a good investment, basta lang ask her if she really wants to go with it 'til say she's 20.

sa may sta mesa malapit sa sm ata yun.. i got my acoustic guitar 4 years ago hanggang ngayon maganda pa rin. mura pa and kahit anong tatak palagay mo didikitan nila ng sticker. dati sa raon ako bumili pero nasira agad e kaya nagpunta ako sa sta mesa and dun na lang bumili
