no offense, sir ha, pero if it sounds great to you, then it's a great guitar. :) however, you have to take in account the amp you're going to use and the effects you're going to use with the guitar as well.

it's adviseable to try bring your effects along when you're testing the guitar, and get an amp that best simulates the amps you're gonna play through. for example, if you're gonna go play that on a tube amp and hear a great tone pero ung gamit mo pla sa gig e ung house amp ng bar na solid state tapos luma na tapos bulok pa, e di madidisappoint ka.

in the end, you're still the judge sir.  8) btw, go to harmony-central.com to get reviews. pero the ultimate review should come from your own ears. :)

As I mentioned the Dean guitar forum, you have to know what this guitar is for. Is it for gigs? recording? or just to add to you collection.

Before you empty your wallet, know that the guitar was bought for its playability and function, not for the looks or the tone. I don't see this guitar to increase in value years from now. Will this be your main guitar or back-up?

If you have plenty of money to burn, then you can buy me this guitar.

langya, halos walang gusto sumagot ng matino :lol:  :lol: ...kayo naman..syempre nagtatanong ung tao kung sino ung may personal experience sa guitar na un.

I've tried that one...Ayos naman, but I found it quite similar to my washburn ct2q..I almost bought one kaso, I got annoyed with the headstock, and aside from the fact that it felt like my ct2q only lighter in weight.

sir, i happened to have the chance to try that guitar in Audiophile in Cubao, it has that "warm, dark" tone. gandaaaaa. i didn't buy the guitar coz of the fine tuning thing in the bridge, ayoko kasi ng me ganun sa next guitar ko, so i got a strat.

but the ARC300 is really good for it's price IMHO 8)

So far this is the best contender to the Hamer SATF that I'm considering.
15.5k lang sa Audiophile. Sakto sa discounted price ng Hamer SATF.  :lol:

Wala sa Stage Point nitong ARC100 eh. Yung chinese pa yung sumagot sakin, hehehe. Testing na lang (& cash) ang kulang.

Tube, is the ARC100 as heavy as a LP? or lighter?

I'd guess 20k or more yung ARC300.
