Do you know if all their branches do guitar equipment? It seems like some are mainly pianos... I may try and go to the Whampoa branch today. Thanks alot for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dead Skunk Posted August 9, 2007 Members Share Posted August 9, 2007 There are a few different palces to hit. Of course, Tom Lee's is good... This little place is nearby and has some cool local instruments (although only 10-12 guitars): If you take the KCR to MonKok, you can hit Parson's on the 6 or 7th floor of the mall... Ten minutes from the harbor area can get you to Eddy's Piano. It's somewhere near the big ship/restaurant/mall thing. I forget the area but could probably find it on a map if you were really interested: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dead Skunk Posted August 10, 2007 Members Share Posted August 10, 2007 I've been to two dif Parson's, but the only one I remember was the one at the big mall at MonKok station. It had a bunch of Orange amps and some Washburn guitars and others. It's not a big as Tom Lee"s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Joranges Posted August 10, 2007 Members Share Posted August 10, 2007 Speaking of that mall in Mong Kok (New World Center?..) There used to be a cool record/guitar shop there that sold Burny, Fernandes, Tokai, Greco and a bunch of other MIJ guitars. I think they closed down a couple years ago. No problem. Here are some pics of HK. This is taken from my apt - you can see the HK Zoo in the foreground, and part of Central, including (from far left) part of the HSBC building, Bank of China, and Government House. The two are taken from 'The Peak' - one of HK harbor looking east: and one looking west: Despite the pollution etc, it is a pretty spectacular place. I miss the city too.

Members Dead Skunk Posted August 10, 2007 Members Share Posted August 10, 2007 Wow, those are some great pics. Whampoa is the place with Eddy's Piano. He has some really strange guitar brand there....something I'm not used to seeing around my sleepy USA town. I would have gotten a picture, but the guy practically ran me out while shouting at me in cantonese after I took that first pic. Oh well. Have fun. I saw no Burny's while I was there 6 months ago. I looked hard for shops, but I easily could have missed some. I was prepared to buy a burst HH Jaguar from Tom Lee, but he didn't have any in stock. I'll be back in a couple weeks myself.

Members Joranges Posted August 10, 2007 Members Share Posted August 10, 2007 Heh, I was there last week actually! The only thing I really recognized was the few Deans they had on the walls. I was being nagged to death, so I didn't even get to walk around. I can't believe they were charging $45 for a pack of strings when it was $36 next door at Parsons though. (Not a big difference, but still!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jvhc Posted August 10, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 10, 2007 The Pounds -> Dollar ratio was like 1:15 last time I checked. I think last year it was only 1:13, and the year before that 1:12. Yeah, it's about 1:16 now And eugh the pollution is HORRIBLE! It stinks so much some places.

Members Joranges Posted August 10, 2007 Members Share Posted August 10, 2007 It smells fine in Central, and that's where most of the skyscrapers are . It's just when you go to places like MK and Wan Chai.. I think the pollution is the worst at Sogo in Causeway more than anything else though.

Members FortePenance Posted August 10, 2007 Members Share Posted August 10, 2007 Haha, you get used to the smell. Lived here a decade yo. Anyway, Parsons and Tom Lee are the big shops here. We got some smaller cool shops too though. Heard of Nelsons Piano Co.? It's in Mong Kok (short walk from the KCR) and it's the only place to buy DiMarzios and EMGs in Hong Kong I believe. It's got plenty of cool stuff too like Warwick fretless 5s and Fernandes, etc. They're also the only Crate and Kustom dealer I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members internetwar Posted August 10, 2007 Members Share Posted August 10, 2007 You should check Guitarsofa as well. They mostly specialize in selling 2nd hand high-end guitars. The shop is located in Jordan if I remember correctly. Btw, does anyone know any rack units/effects dealer in Hong Kong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
