zonalblitz_audio 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2006 You may try Swee Lee @ Bras Basah, Yamaha Contemporary @ Plaza Singapura for guitars. There's is also Lurther's Music (Can't remember where they are located now) and another big shop in Peace Centre which carries large collection of Jackson's Guitar.

aaron-xp 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2006 Actually, Adelphi is a great place. Plus there is a building nearby (next to funan, if I am not wrong) which has a lot of guitar shops in the basement level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ahdui 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2006 (edited) dont have to restirct yourself to certain shops to visit. just get into peninsula and visit all the shops. i believe the shopkeepers wouldnt push sales (exp from my previous trip looking for a telecaster) Edited September 24, 2006 by ahdui Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aaron-xp 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2006 Yeah, that's davis guitar in peninsula, Yeah, bought my acoustic guitar there. Snapped my e string though (as in the thinnest one). Off topic, but is it necessary to replace all 6 strings when only 1 snaps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zonalblitz_audio 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2006 Haha! I think you got no choice. However, there are some brands that carries extra E string in their pack. I can't remember which brand carries it. The acoustic guitar sounds best when the strings are fresh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ahdui 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2006 im not of a hardcore guitarist, so i just change the snapped string if it happens to snap off. few yrs ago, once snapped, change the whole set 6strings lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
