i checked its composition sir GGBR. i saw the composition of the APX900 in a piece of laminated paper tied to one of the tuning keys of the guitar. it clearly said that the top is solid spruce and back and sides are flamed maple.

so...is the APX900 a good buy sir GGBR? i haven't talked with Doc Farseer yet about this piece.

Yes, the body and sides ARE flamed maple LAMINATED onto another kind of wood -- this is ply and not solid. If I remember, this was more than 2 months ago, the price quoted was P42K. Check again.

As for your Variax, to get the various modeling sounds, you will need to plug into the Line 6 modelling amp. This way, the rotary labelled knob will work to switch to the various amp sounds.

so looks like the Variax is out of the question...too expensive.

so it's laminated..what are the possible disadvantages of ply for body and sides sir GGBR? i know that the top affects the guitar's sound the most...so how can laminated plywood for body and sides affect the overall sound?

i'll visit yupangco again. i believe they will have the Handog Sale starting Nov.10 and i'll recheck the price of the APX900.

Maxi! I may have wrong on the model (APX or CPX??) - I don;t remember. It's the model recently launched by the Japanese guitar player. Priced at P42K if I remember correctly.

as far as i know, they launched both models at the same time. kasi both guitars use the same technology naman sa pickups. i think yupangco is closed today.

i know the CPX is the mini-jumbo. the one that i tried is the APX.

where are the Ibanez Artwood electric acoustics? i visited audiophile main and audiophile ali mall...the available artwoods are only acoustics.

this is another option for me..aside from the APX/CPX..

my friend is planning to buy a Laney LA65C Acoustic Amp. he asked me to get the advice of Philmusic people.

JB is selling this for about 12k (sale price).

Doc may tanong pala ako. na-try mo na ba Jimi Hendrix strings? nagbebenta kasi sa Sound Essentials sa MOA. sabi ng manager dun, mas mataas daw rating nito sa mga D'addario, Martin, etc.

may 11s sila eh kaya plano ko bumili para sa Chet Atkins ko.

merry christmas to you all!

for the price of 8k, mukhang ok na yung oscar schmidt. maririnig naman yan, basta naka-plug. although yun nga, sabi ko for the price ok na yan, it won't be excellent, but it will do. sturdy naman ata pag-gawa ng washburn sa guitars nila. basta try mo muna yung guitar, if it sounds ok with you, if it feels right, if the guitar connects to you, chances are ok na yan, hehe.

Kim, listen to the threadstarter.

it will all boil down to your feel sa guitar na kukunin mo...make sure to play the hell out of it before getting it..kasi dun mo lang malalaman kung ok sayo yung guitar.

Red_Strat · « **Reply #574 on:** December 25, 2007, 06:08:14 PM »

Tulad nung naging advice sakin ni kulas before my I bought my OG2CE, kung kaya mo.. save up for something a little better (solidtop).

Pero kung hindi ko iisipin ang GAS, okay na ang OG2CE.
