passed by today for some minor repair work.  great to see his small shop filled with so many guitar projects.  it's even better to see that the guy's still as down-to-earth as ever!  i can imagine lesser men getting all big-headed at being so in-demand.

saw the sky church guitar too... lupit ng design 8-).

what I like with sir MAx is, he will not do things unnecessary just to make money. ang isa kong guitar akala kasi namin walang truss rod pero meron pala, fixed type, hindi adjustable. di nya na ginalaw kasi maganda raw pagkagawa at pulido. lalo nga sya bumilib sa mga gawang japon. precise daw talaga. dadalhin mamya ng kaibigan ko isa sa mga gawa ni Max.

nag pa estimate ako hofner bass, para lang ma compare don sa isang luthier, halos kalahati ang price difference.. tsk tsk.. I'm glad I've known Max through a friend  :-)

Bakit may "tsk tsk"?

Masama ang connotation ng "tsk tsk".  You're insinuating that the other luthier has no right to be pricing his work at almost double the price Max is giving you.

Ano ba ang gitara para sa iyo?  Pandesal o saging o manok na puwedeng tawaran?

Who defines "overpriced"?  The primary drivers for price are:

- Cost base (raw materials, fixed costs, etc.)
- Desired margins
- Demand for the builder's products

Let's not kid around.  Some people just want to get stuff cheap, and criticize other builders when their items are priced more than what they can afford.  And then they make these crazy insinuations na may "tsk tsk" pa.

Respect how each builder prices his products.  Anong gusto niyo, babaan lang nila ang presyo at magsara na lang sila dahil walang kita?

IMO, even the so-called "more expensive" local builders price their wares quite fairly.

yun nga...

eh di ba nagtanong sya sa parehong luthier... na mas-mura pala kay Mang Max... assuming pareho ng gagamiting materials

di ba? bakit masmura nga naman yung isa?

so yun siguro kaya napa-"tsk tsk" sya.

So tingin mo tama ang hirit niya ng "tsk tsk"? 

On the (improbably) assumption that EVERYTHING is the same (wood quality, craftsmanship, etc.)... masama ba for one builder to price his item more than the other if that builder's business model requires such pricing?

I don't think tama ang pag-"tsk tsk" nya, sana sa kanya na lang yun di ba? Hinanap ko lang rin kung bakit sya napa-tsk tsk.

and yes nasa luthier ang presyo... "ayaw mo ng presyo? hanap ka ng masmura" tama din naman yun di ba?

Point is nasa tao na yan kung gagastos ka ng masmahal or masmura para sa (assuming) parehong produkto lang.

Exactly.  No point in making silly and childish "tsk tsk" remarks.

anong itsura nung skychurch guitar na bago? anong type? super strat, pointy, sg, lp?

Well its has alot of tusok again!!! Double purpose kasi yun, gitara at weapon all at the sametime...  Hehehehehe, di bale, sa april 15 makukuha ko na..  Actually its an "Intolerant" guitar, I played bass in skychurch kasi hehehe...  Dinodocument naman daw ni mang max yung steps nung paggawa nya sa guitar.. so we will post it pagka tapos na...

sa mga nagcocomment about the pricing ng mga luthiers, sana we can have an open mind about the fact that every luthier has the right to declare how much their price for their craftmanship.  don't take it against them if they seem to pricey kasi sila naman yung gumagawa.   It's their right naman.  Tapusin na natin dun, we don't have to post things like mas mahal kay ganito or kay ganyan...  Kasi nagsisimula lang ng panibagong argumento ang mga bagay na ganun..I know we all have our individual rights to say what we want pero sana ang maging hangganan ng karapatan na yun eh kung ikaw ay makakasakit o magdudulot ng kaguluhan, wag mo na lang sana ilathala yung saloobin mo at kung pede ay sarilihin na lang para di nalang magkagulo o magsimula ng di magandang pangyayari.

Wala pong personalan, ako ay naniniwala na mas masaya ang buhay kung magkakasundo lahat at maayos ang usap-usapan.  Kung wlang masasabing matino, wag nalang magsalita kasi nga di naman nakakatulong sa kaayusan yung kaguluhan..Tama ba yun,,, hehehehe :evil:

its the wall street who defines what is overpriced. weheheh. It depends on the prime rate, which is eveluated every 22nd of the month. Thus your APR is 9.99% plus the prime rate but in no event will be less than 13.99%
