+1. This is near Funan IT mall. There are 4 or 5 guitar stores in the basement. Ask your sis to buy strings as well. A set of 9 and 10 gauge GHS strings sell for only SGD  6.20 or less than P 180.

This is a good option kasi di lang naman Davis ang shop dun. Madami!  D best guitar shops in Singapore, IMO. If you just want the usual stuff Swee Lee and Lucky Music have good inventories in Bras Basah complex.

well compared to perfect pitch or yamaha, much cheaper dun i guess... halos same price lang din siya ng hongkong shops i think.

a friend told me that shops in hongkong are cheaper than those in singapore.  i think this is due to the higher standard of living in singapore.  :-)

hmmmmm..maybe i can revise my question.  comparing tom lee (hongkong) and davis (singapore), which shop is cheaper?

Janet po ang pangalan niya sir. At dun s store n yun sya ang pinaka-ok kausap pagdating sa mga merchandise nila. Makkapagrecommend siya ng mga alternatives usually pag wala yung hinahanap mo na parts or accessories. Though bihira na ata siya ngayon dun s shop.
