My first post...

Hi,

My name is Samuel and as stated in my profile, I am an acoustic guitar lover, an avid fan of fine woods & great tone on a guitar body. However, the problem with the acoustic guitar scene in Singapore is that the range of acoustic guitars available locally is very limited and extremely over-priced.

Starting out with an Epiphone PR-5E Artist in 1995, I was intending to upgrade to something better in 2004. This led me to purchase my first "mid-range" level acoustic, a Breedlove AD25/SR Plus from USA in 2004 which has since been sold.

Ever since then, I have not looked back. I have also bought and owned the following guitars:
Custom Lakewood D-32 with highly-figured bear-claw AAA European Spruce Top (sold)
Composite Acoustics Legacy AE with Fishman Aura onboard (sold)
Lakewood D-32 with Englemann Spruce Top (sold)
Lakewood D-32 with Sitka Spruce Top (sold)
Composite Acoustics Vintage Performer COT (sold)
Taylor GSMC (sold)
Custom Lakewood M-32 (sold)
Custom Tom Anderson Crowdster Plus (keeping for my son)

I have realised that there is an increasing interest in mid-range to high-end guitars, most of which are not available in Singapore or are only available at much more expensive rates than from overseas. Thus, I have decided to search for good quality guitars at bargain prices to help different ones of you fulfill your fantasy of owning your dream guitar, and all these will be made possible without having to spend a fortune or burning a hole in your pocket.

Most of these guitars will be used but in mint condition, though there may be one or two which are brand new. Most importantly, I will ONLY sell guitars which I myself would personally want to own. Typical prices should range from Sing$3000-4000 plus. The brands I will be bringing in will typically be the small shop builders like Goodall, Collings, Huss & Dalton, and also some mid-sized builders like Lakewood, Breedlove etc. There may also be the occasional boutique builders if I am able to get a good price for you guys.

I will not be bringing in Martins or Taylors as there are local distributors here in Singapore and my aim is not to compete with those shops. My aim is just to help many others like me have a chance of owning our dream guitar at an affordable price (especially for students).

Thus the setting up of this blog...

I do have my first 2 guitars on the way, so do keep a lookout on this blog for new updates... =)

God Bless,
Samuel
