Members fernmeister Posted April 6, 2006 Members Share Posted April 6, 2006 Ok guys, moving soon and I want to get a list together of *good* SE Asian stores I can visit. Obviously HK is a priority ( I know about Tom Lee), but also Japan and S. Korea (yes Seif, you heard right!!!), Singapore and Malaysia. So, hit me with names and addresses please.

Members markjohn Posted April 6, 2006 Members Share Posted April 6, 2006 Check out Guitar77, Davis, or maybe even Swee Lee (equivalent to USA's GC) when you're in Singapore.If you're looking for pedals, check out Mrmisse's online store www.mrmisse.com (he's a forumite here too) and a real nice guy!

Members Anal Log Posted April 7, 2006 Members Share Posted April 7, 2006 I remember someone bringing up a 3rd world country that was basically in the past... and still had vintage EHX pedals NOS. I'd love to see that shop, wherever it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NiJi3 Posted April 7, 2006 Members Share Posted April 7, 2006 Don't have any specific names, but there are a ton of guitar shops in Ochanomizu if you're ever in the Tokyo area. Like, literally streets with nothing but guitar shops. Some basic info:http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1499501 There are some pretty good maps if you google it.
