guys at Lazer ali mall cubao are ok. they let me try out 4 guitars on the display. some guys were eating though. the music source beside lazer are also cool. "magkano yun artec? 3.1k po sir, huh? sa web nyo 2.8k lang ah, a ser pwede natin discount yan, (sabay kuha ng calculator)" :lol:


FYI, the prices really increased by that time. a new price list was posted on theguitarden site. we're sorry, though.  :-)

oh yeah. Those guys at Lazer Ali Mall are kwela!  :-)

hi forumites,

i have the same frustrations sa mga nasabi na sa thread..kaya when i did my thesis in college..it was all about those stuff that i wanted sana na meron sa pinas.. it's a combination of all the guitar shops,luthier shops and a guitar factory...my professor was excited about it..kasi it could be a nice landmark in the Philippines...imagine a whole guitar complex...it's like making the whole CCP complex become a site for anything about the guitar...
  but then after much research..nothing much helped me in trying to make this kind of project feasible...wala ako makuhang sources that could support the thesis...buti nlng architecture ang course ko kc kung nasa marketing or anything about money ang course ko eh i would really fail the thesis..kasi sa statistics ng government wala talaga msydo naipakitang numbers that there is a great need for anything guitar related stuff to be sold here in the Philippines..the percentage of people who would actually spend money on musical instruments is pretty low daw..

so anyway, i passed my thesis..and here are some of the pictures of the PINOY GUITAR COMPLEX:...





try to imagine that all your frustrations could be solved by this facility!..hahaah!


wow brad astig ito!

would've been better kung nag-materialize to.

amazing concept! astig din yung parang bridge sa top floor, with the fret inlays and all haha.

may pics ka ng interiors? haha joooooooooke

sobrang nakakatawa naman mga experience nyo sa mag music stores dito...
pero dats reality ganyan talaga naman ang mga na eexperience natin e...
dapat talaga bago nila pakawalan sa floor mga staff nila na train muna sila ng
maigi about their products and how to handle customers.
kahit konting training lng sa coustomer relations like fast foods are doing.

kaso pagka hire sa kanila sabak na yata sila agad e...
kaya ayun pag may nagtanong ng medyo technical ayos plakda na...
sa experience ko dyan naman pasado ang mga taga Audiophile...they know their products..

i think this thread can be a shout out sa mga music stores out there, we know that most of their staff are fellow philmusicians...

but for me above all the music stores here in manila RJ music has d less rating... tamad mga tao nila...

naasar ako sa Audiophile Cubao,

me: sir magkano toh?
him: (tingin sa list then) P9,150 po sir.
me: pwede po matry?
him: ... (walang salita salita, bitbit gitara, hugot ng cable, sabay kabit dun sa amplifier na di pa naka ayos sabay ALIS)

wala sa tono gitara, yung ampli di pa naka ayos, di ko naman maayos kinabit nya dun sa sulok kung saan may mga nakaharang na iba pang amplifier eh, tapos iniwan ako.
[ice cream] di man lang ako inentertain about sa gitara at tulungan sa sound na gusto ko. after i try yung guitar di ko nmn nafeel wala sa timpla eh alis nalang ako na pailing iling.
Pero sa Audiophile Alabang naman sunod kong pinuntahan pagkaraan ng ilang linggo, mabait naman yung mga tao, dami kinekwento about sa gitara na natipuhan ko, at nagbibigay pa suggestions. at dun ko nabili ang pinaka una kong electric guitar  :-D

Mahirap talaga ang ganyang business. Kaya na rin limited ang stocks/choices gawa ng mababa ang sales nila. A music store here won't be able to order for ex. just 10 units of a Gibson from their distributor. Meron pa silang sales quota na dapat maintain to retain their dealership status like minimum sales of a certain product is 10 units per week. Sa hirap ng buhay ng mga musician dito eh they'd be lucky enough to garner sales of 10 units per month. Mas malawak na product line mas lalong mahirapan umabot sa mga quota.

So kung meron man dito stores na medyo mataas ang price ng ibang produkto, siguro dahil narin yun sa mataas din ang kuha nila at cost and most probably kasi di nila makuha at a dealers price.

Audiophile MOA... OK nga dun pati yung sales clerk nila magalang... bumili ako ng ibanez sa kanila last week kaya lang wala silang guitar pick (parang napaka-unusual---walang pick?), baka ngayon meron na.
