ah. so less than 20k talaga brand new price? interesado ako eh. might get one on june.
yep. the Ibanez AS73 17.5k. the Hamer Echotone sa JB is 19k plus..
i was about to get one AS73 (again), but i thought, i'd get another burst like my old one and it's China made (nothing to do with it). so i decided to get the Hamer Echotone, made in Indonesia (just trying out a new made) and the colors are solid.. in fact, looks, sounds and feels great!
i would suggest, go to Audiophile at Robinson's OTIS or at MOA to check the AS73.. then try the Echotone, check the diff.
