my answer is
YES! pangit tumonog
but in fairness maganda ang finish nila!
You get what you pay for.
Consider buying a guitar as an investment.
Like Ive said meron maganda tumunog na RJ, pero you have to search their stores, take time to thoroughly test. There's one in there thats decent.
I did that before and found a Jimmy Page Bluesbreaker sa glorrieta. 11k and decent.
Meron maganda if you have the patience to seach and check, and you dont mind the brand.
