Hey I missed the Welcome Wagon.

Welcome! What is the guitar scene like in Malaysia?

[gluen]

Hi there tot_Ou_tard. The guitar scene over here is not well developed as compared to the US. Our neighbor country Indonesia, even though being less developed has a much higher standard of musicians and hence guitarists.

Over here its hard to make a living as a pro musician/guitarist and the majority of guitarists are unwilling to spend much on equipment due to the high cost after currency conversions. However, that being said, many end up with Boss pedals. Boutique ones like Fulltone, T.C, (and DVM's) etc are a very rare sight and cost approx 1k in our cash. At least we have cheap guitars like SX available for around 600 for a Strat copy.

Welcome to TheFret............
Assuming it hasn't drastically changed in 8 mos., I think there's the answer.
