PLEASE HELP.. PLEASE HELP

Tanong ko lng kung san nyo po nabili yung mga fender guitars nyo. Sa ibang bansa po ba karamihan? may alam po ba kaung bilihan ng fender guitars an Japan-made, bukod sa yupangco at everymusicph na masmalapit ang prices sa prices nla sa US... d2 kc ang difference is 20-30% more expensive than the prices ng fender guitars sa america so parang medyo hndi wise na bumili d2 kung alam mong ang babayaran mo is much more than the guitar's real worth..

ayun lang po.. salamat! peace out!

you can try PJC Music. wala atang malapit sa US prices kasi una yun peso/dollar convertion eh paiba iba saka kelangan mo consider yun taxes, freight, overhead cost, profit nung seller. kung may kilala ka sa US dun ka na lang magpabili tapos bumili ka ng dollar dito habang mababa pa. kung mag abroad ka naman isipin mo yun pamasahe mo saka yun ipambibili mo. pano kung wala dun yun hanap mo? pero kung sadya mo din eh travel why not, diba? pjc and everymusic tingin ko reasonable na price nila. meron din nag i-import dito sa forum, try mo baka mas mura pa.  i just got my am std at yupangco at mababa yun price nila ngayon kaya napasubo ako.  and downside lang eh limited lang yung choices mo kasi ilan lang ang na import compared to tom lee sandamakmak yuna andun.
siguro nakuha nila yung mga strat @40 to a dollar pa. pag umabot ng 55 yan nakupo hehehe hope this helps.

Bro I got my american deluxe v neck from canada, lumalabas na nasa 60K yung kuha ko. Then it was hand-carried home so no tax paid. I think I got it cheaper, I don't know how much an american deluxe costs here though.

hi bro. meron sa yupangco american deluxe at 74k less 10% if you pay in cash/cheque so that leaves you around 66K. halos kaunti na lang difference sa price sa abroad. 6 months ago pa daw yun order so baka nakuha nila yun at 40-42 exchange rate pa. ang problema lang eh 2 or 3 guitars lang mapagpipilian mo kasi yun lang available unlike siguro sa binilan mo sa canada, madami ka siguro naging choices.

lahat ba ng deluxe eh v neck? ano nga pala silbi nung locking tuner ng deluxe? thanks!

[fraudulentzodiac]

di bro, yung "standard" na American deluxe C Neck, specific model yung American Deluxe V Neck Strat.

Locking tuners so that you can set the two-point tremolo floating without tuning
instability.

hehe bro I got the strat when the exchange rate for CAN$ was PhP51.XX 

[gutz_3110]

hehehe thanks for educating me. inisip ko kasi yun am deluxe strat kaso i need to shell out another 10-12k pa eh hindi din malinaw yun magkaintindi ko sa S1 saka sa locking tuners kaya nag decide ako sa am standard.  hindi din ako techie hehehe i think yun prices ng yupangco this time is reasonable compared to their prices last year. pero syempre panalo talaga yun price sa abroad 

isa na akong fender user ngayon hehehe

uy bro kumuha ka nung bagong am std? how is it?

yung S-1 bro essentially meron kang panibagong set of pickup configurations, kapag naka pos 5 or 1 ka parang humbucking yung sound niya. I preferred the old single coil set up though that's why I replaced mine with EMG's.

[gutz_3110]

yup. but it is my first am std so i cant really compare it with anything else except for the one i tested it with. sorry bro. gusto ko yun feel nung neck kesa sa na test ko na deluxe na medyo (v shape) saka dun sa vintage 62 na mas makapal yun neck. saka i opted for a simple set up na MIA kaya nag decide ako na yun na lang kunin ko. im talking about comfort in going up and down the neck ha not tone. i guess yun tone is ok kasi sa opinion ko eh balance naman maski naka unplug. saka isa pa 1 amp lang yun sinubukan ko kaya hindi ko din masabi.  ngapala, bakit parang hindi naka set up yun guitar? dahil ba sa klima? mukahang kelangan ko pa pa set up hehehe

yes. gulat nga ako nung nakita ko yun sa Fender website. signature din yung bridge and neck PUPs nya. The middle pickup is what I'm GASsing of - the dimarzio chopper. Anyway, who the hell is he?

Smashing Pumpikins is one of the bands that dominated the 90's mainstream rock scene. He's the singer/guitarist.
