hey Rob!  sayang i didn't know you were visiting HK.  acoustics, as i recall are at the 3rd level because 2nd level is all sheet music.  i had specific acoustic models in mind pa naman.  well, tough luck for me.  i'm sure you guys had a spankin' great time there!  :-)

Hey Maxi, my bad..you're right it's at the 3rd floor. I'm always too overwhelmed with the stuff at the ground floor that I tend to forget about the other stuff they have on the other floors :-) Everything was on sale, but unfortunately I didn't get to take home any guitar, amp or pedal this time. I ended up testing everything my hands could reach. It's always fun though. I'll try to post pics sometime soon to help and update those who will be flying to H.K soon :-)

Wala akong nakitang street address sa website nila last time I checked.  I was meaning to call them last December pero nakabili na ako sa Tom Lee Wan Chai ng hinahanap ko kaya hindi ko na sila natawagan.  Oh well...

On my Oct 2008 H.K trip, I was fortunate to drop by at guitarsofa. I saw their used pedals, amps and guitars. Interesting stuff too, but prices at Tom Lee are more competitive but they had stuff that Tom Lee didn't have. Then last year January 2009 during another H.K trip, I planned to check out guitarsofa again. When I got there, unfortunately they already had closed down. According to the staff at the building they moved out but he has no idea if they closed down for good. To my frustration, I even tried to ask assistance from the front desk of my hotel back then if they could search for the business contact number via online/landline but unfortunately there was no "guitarsofa" registered in H.K. Ever since then, I heard nothing about guitarsofa.

Just recently, sa Tom Lee lang ako pumunta coz I don't know if guitarsofa closed down for good or they just moved to a new address. Maybe someone who has been there recently can drop in for the new location :-)

Hope this helps.

Trying out an American Standard and a Baja



The neck on the RW Strat was really comfy :-)



GAS



This was a fun combo to play..



And the Jazzmaster you got to try as well :-)

Thanks Dave! I didn't get to take anything home from this trip so instead I just took photos for souvenir :-)

I mostly spent my money on food instead. If anyone gets to visit the Wan Chai branch, do try the restaurant on the next block after Tom Lee.. The roast duck and chicken is amazing!

Hey vendorboy.. I can't remember all of their prices, but here's a pic with the RW and a American Standard with their price tags.



The RW sale price is HK$ 7,310 and the Amrecian Standard sale price is HK$ 10,200.
To convert to Pesos, just multiply with 6.

Hope this helps :-)

I love Tom Lee. I got my lite-ash tele and a good amount of pedals at very good prices. Don't expect them to have complete stock alll the time, though. When I went there last April, a lot of their guitars from Fender, Gibson and Ibanez were gone. Their sales are that good.  :-)

i might go there to see if they have stuff i cant get locally..

Believe me, sir, there is a ton of stuff there that you can't get over here. Hope your trip goes well.  :-D

I mostly spent my money on food instead. If anyone gets to visit the Wan Chai branch, do try the restaurant on the next block after Tom Lee.. The roast duck and chicken is amazing!


Sir, would you mind sharing specific directions? I'm going to HK in a few months and the food in the pics look amazing.  :-o
