Some recommendations (Swee Lee SALE 19th March)

Just returned home from Swee Lee (Katong) to take a look at what's for grab come SALE day. I was the only customer there for 1 hour so I had the luxury of making some rounds & squeezing brother Fahmie for some products info (thanks bro!). There'll be no price mention here, I've indicated only the post-discount price bracket- PDPB (I don't get commissioned for this task so I'll make things simple for myself).

Starting off with amps, the (Epi) Valve Special is great for some above-average cleans, it has effects on board as well. Sounds splendid for twang or that warm humbucking tone. PDPB: $500

 Peavey's Bandit is the one to get if you don't do pedals, just plug in & play. It has one of the best on-board distortion I've come across, from great cream to heavy metal menace. PDPB: $500

The Epiphone Boneyard is still one of my recommended LPs out there namely due to its great tones & playability. It's good to see it available for sale. PDPB: $650

Ibanez's RG320FM is also available, there are 2 in store; the finish you see above & a green version. PDPB: $650.

The racing stripe Fender Kenny Wayne Sheppard's Strat is a good tonal investment if you are a single coil fan. PDPB: $800

Squier's Stagemaster 7- recommended for those looking for a budget 7 string, the Whammy version is also available. I can't really recall if it's offered in this blue finish but there are about 3 guitars on the stands. PDPB: $450

The most criminally overlooked instrument in the showroom has to be this Ibanez RD900. I took my time to give this one a thorough look & it seems to be a relatively fresh piece in store; it's virtually spotless. I also deem this to be a value-for-money purchase in terms of features, playability & tone. PDPB: $900

PS: Expect up to 50% tomorrow.
