oo strategy para maka uto hehe kawawakang mga newbie pagnagkataon

Parehas lang yan ng mga sapatos sa greenhills. Yung mga tao lam naman nila na di orig ang binibili nila e kaya oks lang yun.

thanks for the input guys. natuwa lang siguro ko sa ichura but i know for a fact that it will not match the quality of a real ibanez jem. Hehe.

surely i wont buy it after finding out that the real price is only 5k. well atleast this thread will help others.

Even so. You say, katunog ba? Ka-feel ba? Ka-quality ba? Who knows? Maybe. That's why there's this so-called "modifications" di ba? To make your instrument feel and sound better.

kung may like lang d2 sa forum..grabe

hirap daw kasi i-class A ang rolex. lol! at least they could've changed the brand name so that they can call it as a "copy"..

But if they will bluntly call it "fake", then it would be business strategy no more.hehe!

Sa greenhills maraming nagsasabing class A Rolex. Kahit nga yung Oakley e, may class A din.

I got the first one out of curiousity, so let me just review it real quick.
COSMETIC WISE: it looks very pleasing to the eyes, immaculate white with a tree of life and gold hardware surely is an eyecandy.

PLAYABILITY:its much lighter than an RG or any ibanez i've picked up. The neck feels a bit rough but it works, the pickups arent as strong as they looked and when i got it, the intonation was kind of messed up.

Sound: it sounds OKAY, nothing so impressive.

HARDWARE: the tuners, retainer, nut..etc all held fine except for the trem bar holder.
it sort of came loose after a while. an easy fix but it happens after a bit of divebombs which sort of disappointed me.

OVERALL: i'd still pick a second hand RG over it, hell id even pick a GIO.

conclusion: very expensive wall decoration

...but its not as bad as it seems.

well, if someone fancies of a wall full of signature guitar models, getting these is an easier and cheaper way to do it.

It could work as a guitar but as a 'very playable, great feel and sounding guitar' hmmm ... challenge accepted.

Well, yeah, I guess it's safe to say that. I mean, halos lahat naman ng nasa selling business e nang-uuto e.

PICS (had very little time so ill be posting more detailed ones soon, even a video demo)
dont hate on my pics, they came from a phone cam

hard to see in the photos, but yes the last 4 frets are scalloped.
hence wall decoration in the group shot.
