Title: 2nd-hand Guitars @ PC Park Japan in Makati Cinema Square --- ok ba?
Post by: curlicue on January 19, 2010, 02:44:16 PM
Do a lot of you here know this place? They've got 2nd hand bass and electric guitars for 4-5K. They also have amps, a few keyboards, acoustic guitars and afaik all the products are 2nd-hand shipped from Japan.

Na-diskubre ko lang ito last weekend. Meron ba ditong may experience sa pagbili ng musical instruments dun? Does anyone have positive or negative feedback?

I saw a couple of Aria Pro II Magna guitars that look good although I'm not an expert in testing guitars so I don't know how reliable the products are.

wala naman akong nakitang Gibson or Fender dun...pero ang alam ko puro MIJ yung mga products nila dun.  based on looks, majority of the guitars are not in good shape.  yung mga magaganda siguro, napakyaw na ng ibang tao.  i think if you want to find a good guitar there, you should test around 60% of the stuff there.

joke?! Never ako nakakita ng gibson dun mukhang sinabi lang para bumalik talaga mga tao dun.  May nakita ko dati squier pero never fender. I pass this store almost everyday. Mostly workable guitars nandun. Workable meaning may mga dapat ayusin/adjust/palitan. Kung ok ba yung mga guitars? Di masasagot yan kasi iba iba condition ng mga binebenta nila. May iba na mas ok na bumili ka na lang ng bago may iba naman na pwedeng pwede pa.

Yup all their items come from Japan daw. The guitars there right now mostly aren't in good condition pero siguro pag may bagong dating makakahanap naman ng maganda...


contact na kasi sila ng mga buyer and sellers here  :-D

Haha! Kaya pala. So I assume reliable naman sila at may mga magaganda talaga silang items na mura basta marunong ka lang maghanap at kumilatis ng gitara... Magpatext nga ako pag may bago silang stock.  :-D

kwento ng kaibigan ko na bumili ng Legend LP (strat? ewan ko): nung nagtanung siya kung meron pang bagong dating na stock, dinala siya sa isang kwarto sa likod na madaming nakatambak na guitars. madami daw nakakahon pa, mukhang hindi pa nabubuksan ng personnel. Hindi daw ata sila naglalabas ng bagong stock hangga't walang nabibili dun sa naka-display.

ewan ko kung tutuo yun.  :-) ok naman daw yung guitar niya.

re: their stock, I'd expect to have to replace everything: bridge, pickups, tuners, etc. Ang importante, yung kahoy dapat acoustically resonant. You can test this just by strumming, even unplugged. If it feels dead when you strum it, put it down and move on to the next guitar.

Been a while since I posted but just to share. Since it's near my place....

I purchased a Yamaha J-25 amp 2 months back. So far no issues and great condition. They have a bunch of Yamaha and fernandes amps. Saw a squier and a small roland practice amps.

I saw a pink Ibanez guitar for sale at about 8k a few weeks ago. Last time I was there they had stocks of black Fernandes tele's, Photogenic LP's, Aria superstrats, and a bunch of no name strats hanging from the ceiling.

You really have to rummage through their stock and really test out the guitars as some of them are in bad condition but Im sure may nakakakuha din dyan ng sweet deals.

Happy hunting bro...

Post by: rockophoria on January 31, 2010, 02:06:48 PM
galing ako dun kahapon, I was hoping maka tyempo ako ng Greco or Aria Pro na ES-335 o kahit ano mang semi-hollow guitars..

marami ngang tama ang mga gitara at yung iba eh parang kinabitan lang ng strings at isinabit dun, almost 80% eh kakailanganin mong dalhin sa luthier bago gamitin, pero oks na rin at yung presyo naman nila eh pang barag na gitara na.. madaming fernandes, photogenic tsaka aria pro.. yung iba di ko alam kung anong tatak yun, may mga bass guitars din at karamihan ng mga mejo ok ang condition eh mga bass guitars.

meron ding mga acoustic, napansin ko lang eh mga classical guitar yung iba dun pero "steel" strings ang nakakabit.. (so for sure tutungo ang neck nun) meron ding mga keyboards na mura and ofcourse mga mini-amplifiers na 10-15-20watts.. walang malalaki akong nakita (o baka nakatago lang)

dadalaw dalawin ko ito every weekend at nagwiwish akong makatyempo ng semi-hollows.. tapos deretcho na kay Jun Castro  :-D :-D

based on the condition of the guitars in PC Park, mukhang mas mahal ka aabutin in restoring them rather than buying a guitar from the classifieds here. maraming bugbog yung guitars there eh, and you wouldn't know the hidden defects pa because you wouldn't know of the condition of how the guitars had been handled. at least dito sa classifieds, kahit papaano you can see the condition of the guitars. and the seller would most probably tell you what needs to be fixed - but i think it wont be as expensive as fixing cosmetic defects.

Nakapunta na din ako dun kasi malapit sa amin.  Checked the guitars and mas maraming matinong bass guitars at hindi lahat made in Japan.  Karamihan made in taiwan.  Kaya dapat check mo maigi.  Sinita ko nga yung bantay, ganito ang usap namin:

Ako: Sabi niyo made in Japan ito
Bantay:  OO sir, Made in Japan yan.
Ako:  Tinignan ko maigi Made in Taiwan eh
Bantay: OO nga made in Taiwan yung iba
Ako: Eh bakit ang sinasabi niyo made in Japan.
Bantay: Eh sir, ginamit ng HAPON

Got a problem with them before but not on guitars a bit OT here, I bought my playstation 2 there and the usual thing happen they test it at the shop after i got home bang! the power supply has a cut on the wires.  :cry: so i got back and had it replaced then after a week i wonder why my dvd's got a circular scratches and i had it check on them to see that the disk holder is lower, that the dvd is hitting the case. It is a second hand shop so be aware that what you are buying may have some defects later on and if its worth the price your paying.

I've read about this place somewhere here on philmusic, but I'm having problems with some of the directions that people have posted.
I was raised in Subic bay so I'm not that all familiar with Manila. i'm currently residing in intramuros and was wondering if it would be a bit difficult for me to visit that PCpark thingy and the pier (where they have those guitars coming from japan?)
I'm fine with spending a little bit on taxi fares but want to know where these two places are.

i was there too.. i was happy when i saw this guy with one of the PC Park staff with at least 5 GOOD LOOKING guitars on hand leaving the shop.. it was great to be there lalo na kapag maaga ka.. haha!!

then i wen inside and saw several junks including a full neck and body na BC RIch mockingbird.. it was initially priced for P190... both neck(with tuners and all) and body(with hardwares as well) electronics nalang talaga..

there was also this Fernandes bass with neck and body for P200 pesos (initially tagged).. most of the good stuff or somehow the more usable ones are bundled with "good as trash" pieces (literal.. walang pag gagamitan..).. got to talk to one of the staff there and told me that it was initially priced like that by one of the staff (forgot the name though but im sure he was the guy with long hair, who also by the way got his own dose of junk -- a see-through matte cherry red epiphone G400... roughly 7/10 overall condition..) until their boss, as business minded as you expect him to be, thought of selling these stuff at a higher cost, staying of course not more than a thousand bucks per guitar(by this i mean just the neck and body.. swerte na ang may hardwares).. and bundling it with these total junks..

just wanted to share to you the experience.. i was just disappointed when i saw the initial prices for these.. and to think that i already paid for a bundle of stuff.. gahhh.. i just felt tricked in some way.. the others who got their hands for good stuff, i think it's worth the price pa din cguro.. if only everything there was as good as what they got.. haay.. hehehe..

kwento ng kaibigan ko na bumili ng Legend LP (strat? ewan ko): nung nagtanung siya kung meron pang bagong dating na stock, dinala siya sa isang kwarto sa likod na madaming nakatambak na guitars. madami daw nakakahon pa, mukhang hindi pa nabubuksan ng personnel. Hindi daw ata sila naglalabas ng bagong stock hangga't walang nabibili dun sa naka-display.

ewan ko kung tutuo yun.  :-) ok naman daw yung guitar niya.

re: their stock, I'd expect to have to replace everything: bridge, pickups, tuners, etc. Ang importante, yung kahoy dapat acoustically resonant. You can test this just by strumming, even unplugged. If it feels dead when you strum it, put it down and move on to the next guitar.
Thanks sa tip kung paano ko to ittest ang resonance ng wood.

got a no-namer super quality Strat here for 1.8k, black with maple fingerboard (Blackie, anyone?). for me it's better than some Standard MIM Fenders  :-D
Of course because it's yours. Decent strats there cost around 4k up. Have you ever tried using an original Fender/Squier strat. Go figure. I went to pcpark very excited but I was really disappointed to see the guitars they mostly have are semi junk and overpriced.

Hi sir. it's been two years and I still have this guitar. It has been modified too. I'm sorry if some of the gear in PPJ disappoint you, maybe some of the good ones have been sold already.

Mag-subscribe ka sa FB nila. Ina-advertise na nila yung items kahit wala pa sa Pinas. Me mga Fender nga. Pag nakita mo sa pics at gusto mo na, kalabitin mo na sila para mauna ka na. Di nga lang ako nakakakita ng Gibson pa, kahit sa FB or maybe I wasn't looking.

medyo ingat ingat lang sa pagbili kahit nakita mo na sa facebook at naakit ka...

still better to research, specially the prices... minsan di mo alam, overpriced pala for a second hand...
bottomline here is chambahan lang talaga dun, may magustuhan ka man, minsan overpriced naman...

can we just stick here at PhilMusic, mapagkaka-tiwalaan naman ang karamihan dito... (just saying)

Of course because it's yours. Decent strats there cost around 4k up. Have you ever tried using an original Fender/Squier strat. Go figure. I went to pcpark very excited but I was really disappointed to see the guitars they mostly have are semi junk and overpriced.
Hi sir. it's been two years and I still have this guitar. It has been modified too. I'm sorry if some of the gear in PPJ disappoint you, maybe some of the good ones have been sold already.

And yes I have tried an original Fender and Squier guitar. Almost everyday. I'm the Product Specialist for Fender here in the Philippines.

I agree with sir los, Ive been there bago lang sila dont remember late 2009 early 2010 i think. All of their guitars have low prices even for photogenic lespaul copies..2-3k almost lahat.. but then since dumami na buyer nila PM forumer, a dad who wants to buy a guitar for church or for their sons, hobbyists, collectors etc and some local celebrity guitar players started to visit their store.( I even saw kitchie nadal once looking around ). They are taking that opportunity to add prices to their products. Nagulat ako sa mark up ng prices nila from 2009 from the prices now. Baka stock pa yung iba. I also used to think pcpark japan is a goldmine. But now..mas ok pa bumili ka nalang ng brand new sx tele sa jb or sa forum nalang which has the same price at least every thing is rest assured intact and in good condition. Hindi na rin practical for a project guitar which can cost you more for repairs modifications etc.

Although again thats my personal preference. If you want to buy there go..Just don't go with the hype. Trust your own instincts..i would say.

Visited at PCparkjapan Makati last month and all I can say is nakakaturn-off ang price and the status of the guitars. Mas ok pa dito sa forums kesa bumili ka dun. Sana man lang may luthier na tiga-ayos ng action, electricals at tiga linis ng guitar. Parang antique shop yung ambiance. Yung ibang guitar nilagyan lang ng string tapos dinisplay na.

Para sa mga bibili make sure na testingin nyo muna bago nyo bilhin.

Edit: Makati branch pala. lol

browsed here kanina, halos majority ng guitars may mga tama na yung body kaya naturn-off ako. sayang kasi MIJ nga. i haven't tested any of the guitars, though.

Visited this place last Tuesday, hoping to find a nice guitar as my second Gear... Dami ding magaganda.. but aside from the fact na my mga dings ung guitara, im not sure if the sound quality is as good.. my mga pedals din (in Makati Branch) and tuners...

Total Waste of Time...and i did it 3x.  :drool:....when i went to makati to fetch my wife, went there. Parang Morgue. A lot of good parts to salvage, to say the least. But way to  pricey for the guitars' status. They will need a lot of work. My friend gave me one from PC Park. Some parts where mismashed. It's still with me though. Project gtr.Also, I was able to buy 2 strat copies. They sold it for 4K I think, for both. It took me almost 2 hrs to pick those two. They both sported Wilkinson Tremolo bridge and vintage kluson-style tuners. Both had maple necks and squire bighead. Electronics are thrash. Pickups...nasa ref door namin for holding memos  :-D....Salvaged those two..sold the parts separately.....total sale : 9k.  :wave:....i don't recommend it for those looking for play and plug guitars with good quality. But if you have the spare time and dough to rebuild them, take the time...you may get a nice one with good wood,then upgrade... have it set up by a good and honest luthier. But then again, you may want to consider getting a brand new one na lang.  :)

remember, dati wala silang alam or kaunti lang ang alam. pero paano din nila kaya malalaman? im sure na 1) they did their research 2) meron nag enlighten sa kanila na kapwa mamimili din.

kung sa kasa nga ng kotse eh nagkaka under the table para mauna sila sa iba or makuha ang kulay na gusto nila, it is not too remote for some one to offer money should a good guitar arrive. i'm not accusing, im saying its just possible.

sad to say, some see that pinepresyo nilang eBAY USA ang iba. hindi naman USA ang Pinas.

on the other hand, you can't blame others who are willing to pay for more. lalo na pag in-auction nila. auction aside, mahirap din iblame ang PCpark if they will wait for those who will pay for more.

its best na lang pumunta ng Japan if one is capable. kalabanin pa ang PC park kung kaya.

yun nga lang, we also have to take the depreciation of the peso into consideration. nag cocompound yan. maaring say 4% a year. but if it has been 5 years since, say PC park was "cheap", that's like 20% loss in the purchasing power of the peso.

Few years back, I acquired a very cheap but very good sounding Solid State Practice Guitar Amp and I was more than satisfied....

Lately, i was hunting for a good and very cheap keyboard/midi controller and their prices are extremely high considering the condition of their items.... This is not limited to KB items, guitar and other items (everything in the store) are priced extremely high!!!  :-o

I haven't bought anything in PCPark. When I was in Cubao, I took the opportunity to check out their merchandise, most especially guitars because I was looking for a cheap, dependable, and most of all, playable practice/jam guitar but I would have to agree to most of the comments written about PCPark and its wares- overpriced, considering the condition of their guitars. I even saw an Ibanez RG MIJ (I think) fixed bridge which obviously needs to be setup from head to tail that's priced higher than your 2nd-hand Prestige's being sold here in Philmusic.

Galing ako sa MCS branch. Ang mamahal ng mga paninda. walang below 20K sa Fenders. Tapos yung mga LP na Photogenic, 16-18K. The F?! Hindi porke galing sa Japan ay made in Japan na! Even Japanese musicians on forums say that Photogenic guitars are made somewhere else and sold to Japan market.

Dati ok bumili sa pcpark dahil hinde alam ng mga staffs doon yung mga binebenta nila. Makakachamba ka talaga

Nung naghire na sila ng mga may alam sa guitars.... Ayun wala na..... Dahil alam na nila ang mga magagandang guitars, sila mismomg mga staffs ang nag uunahan sa pagbili ng magaganda tapos yung iba sobrang overprice nila......

I remember bumili ako ng guitar..... Babayaran ko na pero biglang hold ako..wait daw muna kung avail pa daw yung guitar or baka may bumili na. Sabi ko pano magiging sold e nasa mga display pa.Pumasok pa sa loob ang mga staff at eventually masama yung mukha na ibinenta sa akin yung guitar.

I would say sulit yung nabili kong guitar....kaso bihira dahil ang makikita mo ngayon sa pc park ay napagpilian na.

Post by: analog.matt on July 28, 2014, 11:49:56 AM
agree ako kay bunga.

dati talaga hindi nila alam yung binebenta nila. minsan may nag post ng lumang Tokai, meron kasi akong important detail na hinahanap sa mga lumang tokai
eh malabo yung photo, pero gut feel ko yun yon. a friend said, "naah".  nung nabili na at nakita ko may additional pics. dang yun yon. ganda ng presyo. the next old tokai
they had went at 25 ata. mas valuable yun na una pero mura benta. sayang.

then nung may mga marunong na sa mga gitara, i found of them overpriced talaga. back then kung yung gitara dapat 16k lang ( kasi ganun sa philmusic) , binebenta nila ng 21 or 25


as for Pier, i went that route na din. nagtanong tanong ako. and the oldies there told me, marami nang may mga connections sa mga yun. of course may katapat na

compensation kung may nahahanap na "gems".

sabi pa nga nung isang ale sa akin doon, "nako sir, alam ko yang hinahanap niyo. maganda po mga yun. hindi lang po kayo naghahanap nun. marami po kayo. may mga

kausap na nga po yung iba. matagal na pong ganun"

so the way i see it, if you really want to make your mark with them, money talks, that is if they have no loyalty, at baka naman at the end of the day, mas mapagastos ka pa sa pakikipag

politiko sa mga tagaroon at bigay compensation.

if you want crappy guitars or something you can leave in your 2nd house or tambayan na hindi ka kakabahan na mananakaw...or if you want to practice guitar repairing etc. marami sila doon.

I'd rather save up and go to japan or buy a good local guitar kung yun lang....
