Guitar Shops in Taiwan ! . SHRED TAIWAN !
Okay . I know you’ve been waiting for some guitar pics .
Actually , up-to-date . I have visited like 8-9 Guitar Shops here . The experience ? Fanstastic .
I learn the way Taiwanese do business , i learn about their market , i see a bigger picture in the whole music market industry . I learn the politics and relationships between Singapore guitar shops and Taiwan Guitar shops . Also , the nicest were the stories , all the screw ups our big Malaysian guitar companies made , and burn bridges with some of the biggest Taiwan / China guitar companies . hehe
So here am i , travelling from guitar shops to guitar shops , finding the best deal for Music Master .
I feel bad cause i didn’t take ALL the guitar shop’s picture . Some of it was Strictly GET-DOWN-TO-BUSINESS and i didn’t have the time . I have a whole load of pictures in my other camera too but i forgot to bring the converter (silly me) . Here are a few to share with you guys .
I ROCK .

Learn lots of things from them . What made them stand out was their CONCEPT . Like a METAL guitar shop . I wanted to do that for Music Master a long time ago , but ahhh..i was too pussy ..


absolutely love their doors .

The staircase to their music school . They design the whole school like a metal prison .

The wall of Fender Guitars . (the most un-metal)

Deans , BC RICH ..

Their prize Fender and Gibsons .

Wall of Ibanez .

Starter guitars .

…asked me to bring that in . i didn’t like it .

Me talking to them . Looks like i wasn’t very happy with the T & C ;)
Anybody like my jacket ? bought it to go along with the “taiwan” fashion . Korean pop star wannabe mou .
PLAYER

So far , the best selection . (it won’t be after tomorrow , cause i will be visiting the 2 biggest music shops in Taiwan , ATB and Galaxy)


There was this acoustic guitar brand called “Elise” that really caught my eye .

..and of course , Taiwan’s very own AYERS Guitar . Great feedbacks from Taiwanese and Singaporeans . But its not really cheap tho , goes from RM2000-RM5000 . If it could challenge “Lee” Guitars in Malaysia , i might consider .

Their “PRIZE” wall . Their electric guitar gallery was UNDERGROUND . Pretty cool .

More picsin my other cam :( I realized many Taiwan Guitar Shop sells everything . Gibson , Fender , Jackson , Epiphone , PRS …Its not like in Singapore and Malaysia , this shop specialize in ESP , that shop specialize in line6. I guess their supplier-dealer scene is very efficient and successful .
More to come . This is just the tip of the iceberg . Till then ..nites !

@vincent . you need to know the full story bro . let me cut it short .
the beginning , there was USA-gapnap chain . USA takes from Japan i think . Japan Yen increases , USA increase their price . gapnap not happy . starts to turn to new singapore friend . USA finds out , not happy with gapnap-singapore , but USA is ok with gapnap-china though cause it was cheap stuff . USA still piss off with gapnap . gapnap need to find new supplier to replace USA ASAP . gapnap found alternatives to USA’s products in Taiwan .
