Guitar Shops in Taiwan Part 3 ! . SHRED TAIWAN !
A little bit about me , my family and Chinese New Year .
Damn , going to reunion dinner tonight . Ok , a few things i don’t like about reunion dinner is..I have to meet all my successful cousins ..
1. They are all in the medical line . You name it , Doctors , Pharmacist , Dentist , Biomedic ..
2. They are all working overseas , from Taiwan , Australia , France and USA ..
3. Most of them were good enough to earn a scholarship while studying , from JPA , ASEAN to Petronas ..
4.By the way , 2 of my cousins are like SUPERB WORLD CLASS classical guitarist . Gonna eat the humble pie . Again . zzz . *if you give me a classical guitar , i can’t show shit , compared with their “Paco De Lucia” .
And me , i am the CIBAI Failure , not in medical line , graduated from a local university and never had a scholarship in my life . FML .
Speaking of Scholarship , i was quite close ..i got in the Petronas EDUCAMP or whatever it is called . Basically ..out of 20,000 applicants , 2000 will be selected to attend this “EDUCAMP” , out of 2000 , 100 will get a full scholarship to study abroad .
The reason why i failed ? simple . We were divided into groups , there were 10 people in my group. We were supposed to present , what we want to be when we grow up …
Many of them presented ..they want to be an Engineer , Architect , Lawyer , Accountant etc..you name it .
You know what i presented ? i said i want to be a ROCKSTAR , i drew myself on the white board with a guitar . The audience were all hot chicks . I think the examiner must have stoned cock after listening to my presentation . That was why i didn’t get the schollarship . FML .
Ok , back to our little SAGA …
GALAXY (Gold Ant)
Probably the second biggest guitar shop in Taiwan …signboard all in chinese..Susah cari weihh..

Unlike guitar shops in MALAYSIA , Taiwan Guitar Shops open till 10pm . So hardworking yea ?
The only guitar shop that can beat them , is a shop called “Music Master” , they open until 11pm . The CEO must be damn hardworking .

Probably my fav. Guitar Shop in Taiwan (Top choice for me) . Why ? It doesn’t carry those regular Ibanez , Fender , Gibson ..this shop is like THE BOUTIQUE TAIWAN GUITAR SHOP .

I shit you not . Look at the wall . Can you spot the John Suhr , Caparison , Tom Anderson ,MUSIC MAN , Lots of Rare Ibanez and lots of rare Edwards ?

High End Aria Guitars !! ..find the 2 Caparison headstock right below it …Oh yeah , a SWEET John Suhr right beside it too ..

Not a fan of this ..but wth , got pictures put only lah ..

Yummy yummy PRS ….NT$138800 . Converts to about RM14000 .

More of em’ !!
Sorry , not suppose to take John Suhr and Caparison Pics
Otherwise you guys know which model i am planning to bring in :p

Walls of acoustic guitar . See the door at the left .?? That is the VIP acoustic guitar room .
Inside the VIP :

OOHHH..ALL THE TAYLORS !!
Other random pics :



Ok lah , i admit this guitar shop PAWNS Music Master ..but we have alot of similarities ..
1) Not enough space . Yeah , Music Master also got too many guitars , and no space to display .
2) Focus mainly on GUITARS . Focus less on Bass and Amplifiers (amplifiers tax too bloody high)
3) Sells more “unique” guitars , than regular sell-outs .
Overall , the most interesting (many rare guitars) , friendliest sales crew , bigshot china man boss . My number #1 Choice for Guitar Shop in Taiwan . If you guys are going there , do yourself a favor and visit the place . Its worth it . 8.5 out of 10 .

maybe it would’ve work better if you draw the guitar along with a bag of briefcase next to you. that would make you look a lil business like.
coz you are a rockstar businessman now aren’t you?
happy chinese new year gappie.

Well prove them wrong aite. Us scholars will most probably end up working like shit for some company earning most up to RM30000. U have the looks of becoming a millionaire one day.
Btw, those PRS are sure steamy. Quilted maple, yum

…actually , petronas do hire musicians as a full time job for them to play for their events , pay them monthly salary and give them bonus .
I WANT THAT JOB !!!
Happy CNY to you too ..
I am not rockstar businessman , i think i am pockstar fatman .
Anyway , i am glad i didn’t get that scholarship . tie you up for 10 years . sial .
@ariff . you scholar ? pffftttt..you NERD ! !!!!!!! I KNEW IT !!!
30,000 ? Where got wei ? that is not even qualified to pay tax . you know how much they PAY Petronas CEO ah ? 7 figures yearly babe ! thats if you get to THAT level lahh…

RM 14000 for the PRS still very expensive and not worth getting. But at least it has a piezo system in it. Mahogany Music’s one no piezo and its RM17600.

wtf i’m not a fucking nerd. nerds are weak and get beat up and shit.

hahaha i totally get you about the reunion dinner thing… especially right after those big exams like SPM, PMR, etc. Post-mortem and comparing my results with my cousins over the lou sang, no appetite to eat already la…
thankfully those times are over

@Timothy Chew. How much is it in USD ? I thought it was OK , even the low end PRS cost 2500 USD .
@ariffdude . LOL . Jangan marah lah babe . You petronas ? You’re gonna work under my younger sister and my cousin wei ! muahahaha..
@vertigo . Well , enjoy your uni days , its the 3-4 years break your parents stop comparing you with your cousins . when you start working , they compare MORE SHIT than SPM and PMR . They start comparing your job , how much $$$$ , how hot your wife is and maybe how good are you in pleasing her .
