Babe in SGH...

Nopes it's not Singapore General Hospital but it's Sinamex Guitar Hospital. Noticed a buzzing sound from the 3rd frets so decided to send my 414ce over to Sinamex (originally Taylor Guitar distributor) to have a look. Went over to Berjaya Times Square, manage to locate them at the 7th floor and had to leave the babe there for a month or so as the guitar "doctor" makes he's visits abt once a month only. Anyway she's in good hands.

Being a first time visitor there. of course hands start getting "itchy" and started testing every playable instrument there. Hahaha. One thing that really caught my attention was this guitar... a Timothy S10J (Sinamex own brand I believe...)

The Timothy S10J

Some specs:

- Medium Jumbo size
- Solid Sitka Sprue top
- Solid Ovangkol back and sides
- Ebony fingerboard
- Wood rosette
- Abalone purfling
- Maple binding
- Bone saddle
- Bone nut
- Fishman Prefix pick up system
- Gold machine heads and Ebony buttons
- Elixir Strings


I tried the other Simon & Patrick and also Breedlove guitars but this really takes the cake. And for it's price, retailing at about RM3K++ I thought it was a good buy.... and it comes with one of the high end fishman pick-up's.

If you are in Singapore I believe you can get a good price as you do not need to pay the 10% charge on instruments we are taxed over here...

By the way... I'll be off for a holiday soon!... yeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
