Dito mo ba bibilhin sa pinas? I think they cost P50k and above depending on the design and all. Expect though that majority are old stock. Marami pa atang stock sa Yamaha Main Office Buendia Makati. Kung sa states baka makamura ka na, mas marami pang designs. Try visiting musiciansfriend.com for updates.

It depends pre, pero alam ko mga 27 k ++ depende sa model na kukunin mo. Pero kung bibili ka I suggest yung mga deluxe model nila kc worth it ang pera mo. :cool:

The "BLUES DRIVER" pedal from Boss is an excellent effect. What it does is basically give you a sound that simulates an 'overdriven" TUBE AMP. The controls allow you to set your tone from where the sound just starts to break up to a full overdriven Classic Rock tone.

 

If you're looking for a full shred Distortion, the Blues driver is not for you as it was not designed to sound like Steve Vai or the boys from Slayer . Think of AC/DC or Allman Brothers or Eric Clapton in Derek and Dominoes era and you get an idea of what a Blues Driver can do. On the other hand, the pedal can also be used to further boost an already Overdriven amp for some burning tones.

 

On it's own, the BD2 is a good effect with a useable sound and It reacts beatifully to your picking attack ...

nabuhay ng trhead na to ang interest ko sa gitara, medyo na divert lahat ng fundings ko sa golf. anyway balik na ulit ako nakakainspire kasi na marami pa rin palang gitarista sa atin. balik ulit tayo sa basic practice ulit pero alam ko na hangang dito lang ang kaya ko kasi yung magagaling na gitarista na latulad ni 16trak may kasamang talento yon. sana one time mag karoon tayo ng isang mini eyeball, parang mtc guitar festival....ang present gear ko nga pala ay yun luma kong squire na strat, fender na mini amp (blues deluxe na re-issue yata) at yung sira ko nang pandora 1 multi effects.. mabuhay ...

[telemaster_311]

thanks for the infos. base on your description, i think the blues driver can also be an excellent booster am i right? masubukan nga yan sa handog sale hehehe

 

yes im trying to purchase a fender here sa pinas, wala ako bread pang abroad hehehe kakatakot kasi bumili online baka mamya defective or masira sa shipping dami ko reservations kasi sensitive yun instrument. mas mura nga ata sa online dealers kasi they cost aroung $900-1200 kaso yun risk involve mataas. yun US deluxe sabi sakin nasa 80K pesos, mahal na for my budget. i believe this is a prudent purchase for my part coz 50k pesos for a guitar is pretty expensive for an average joe like me. im just hoping to get the best value for my buck

tele, sad to say Yupangco is the only authorized distributor of Fender products here in the Philippines and they tend to insanely jack up prices. Kung may sale, it's either blemished or refurbished. My former bandmate was fortunate enough to be a US Citizen so he had the luxury to handpick a gorgeous Fender Mexican Telecaster which is much better than the ones sold by Yupangco. Kung di lang sya kuripot, baka US Fender strat ang kinuha niya.

 

Dito sa pinas very limited na nga ang choices malaki pang chance na lemon ang makuha mo. I only use musiciansfriend.com as a guide to my guitar buying in the Philippines to determine which stores price fairly or otherwise. I'm not that rich to have it shipped from US to here. Sabi pa nga nila, kahit sa US din ang delivery you still need to have it properly set up once you receive it.

 

Kung keen ka pa rin sa pagkuha ng Fender US strat, I suggest that you wait for the Yamaha Handog Sale (mid October) and go straight to the Buendia Office so you could have more choices. They could be eliminating their old stocks so you better be vigilant. Ang pinakamura I think is the Highway 1 series, which is the stripped down version of the ordinary US strat. But be sure to try them out first before you purchase.

 

Pero kung may kamag-anak ka sa US na gitarista, mas mabuting magpabili ka na lang sa kanila.

 

But if you ask me, the only decent guitar brand being sold here in the Philippines nowadays is Ibanez. Kahit maraming China-made, these axes are durable, playable, and gig-worthy. Majority of the models sound at par if not better than the top brands in Yupangco. Try them out at any Audiophile stores.

You guy's are awesome here, very goof in giving advices. :thumbsupsmiley: keep it up guy's!

[Jun_gats]

Which brand of guitar do you prefer ba? Personally for me I prefer a guitar that is flexible, durable and sounds awesome. If I have all the money in the world I would buy all the guitar I want. But since we are not that well budgeted I would prefer a guitar that will do for most of the genres that I will play, and for me one of the best flexible guitar that I will want is a Japan or Us made Ibanez RG series. Because yung pickup niya at H/S/H at 24 fret with a floyd. Kahit 22 to 24 fret songs pwedeng pwede. Maganda ang tunog at hindi masyadong mataas ang price. :thumbsupsmiley:

[Dr.Love]

RG is the best for me. A Jap made RG na pre-owned & good condition ang palagi kung hinahanap ngayon.

[16track]

As always, I'm old school so my most favorite axes are a Gibson Les Paul Custom ( recently acquired ) and my Fender Stratocaster.

 

The Les Paul Custom is like an extension of my arms and fingers as it feels so right for me and playing is truly effortless. I am basically a child of the blues and the Les Paul Custom allows me to express myself easily. The sweet "Woman Tone" popularized by Clapton is truly an emotional vehicle for letting one's self go in a solo. The PAFs do their job well and the the solid mahogany body equates well with the ebony fingerboard as opposed to Standard Les Pauls which sport a thin maple top over the maple body and has a rosewood board.

 

The Strat, however-- is more flexible as I had it rewired so that now it gives me 7 sounds instead of the standard 5. The rewirign work done is simple and easy to return to original state. A simple turn of the middle tone knob turns on the neck pick up --whichever way the pickup switch is on. This means that aside from the usual neck, neck+mid, mid, mid+bridge and bridge setting--- Now i also have a NECK+BRIDGE and lastly NECK+MID+BRIDGE.

 

Rock on!

I have high respect for Ibanez because of its rep*tation for having one of the best necks, be it the shredder types or the jazz boxes. I'm very grateful to Audiophile for distributing these wonderful axes in the Philippines and pricing them fairly. I actually got my Ibanez Artcore AM73 (The transparent brown slimmer ES-335 copy shown in my earlier post) for less than P20k. Although it costs 1/6 of the original Gibson and is China-made, I'd prefer this anytime over the Epiphone Dot for its durability, fast neck, better sounding pickups, and the very attractive white bindings.

[Jun_gats]

Cool guitars, "If" I have a lot of money I would also buy a Gibson Custom 1954 LP Custom Electric Guitar, a PRS dragon 2002 guitar.[/COLOR] :cool:
