Hutch68 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) Hi, anyone have a good second hand guitar for sale preferably a gibson les paul? It would have to be cheap as I'm poor. Edited August 31, 2016 by Hutch68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanLaew Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Hit the pawn shops. A few gems to be had if you know what you are looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChidlomDweller Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 If you want cheap, I'd look at Japanese copies from Tokai, Greco, Bacchus, Edwards... Lots and lots of really good LPs available under $1,000. I was told about a Thai guitar forum that's quite active but I forgot the name. I've also imported lots of guitars from Japanese sites like Ishibashi. You end up paying 10%+7% in duties and VAT, but you get a much bigger selection and the total price is still very good if you shop around a bit. http://store.ishibashi.co.jp/ec/proList/doSearch/srDispProductList/1/1/ /11933100000/1/ / / / / / /1/40/0/0?jp=on&wd= &searchType=0&chgCateFlg=1&excludeSearchWord= &facetSearchType=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jadee Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Hi, do you mean a genuine Gibson? I don't think 'Gibson' and 'cheap' belong in the same sentence! But I'm not a guitar expert. If you want cheap, I think a Chinese copy from a Thai music shop is your best bet. Alternatively, try a guitar group on Facebook, although if you don't speak or write Thai, you'll need a Thai friend to help you. The Kaidee site is quite good as well.

vogie Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Bahtsold usually has a good selection, I bought a great squier (top model squier) stratocaster and great amp for 9000 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StateSix Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Kaidee has some Gibson Les Paul Customs for Bt 9,500 There is a genuine looking Les Paul 70's Tribute on there at the moment for Bt 25k. ctmusicshop.com sells various Epiphone Les Paul models from Bt 6,300 - Bt 30,000 @ NanLaew, is there any particular pawn shop or area that has decent second hand guitars?

There is a shop in Fortune Town called I-Guitar. The back room has a large selection of second hand guitars. Many Gibsons and Fenders...but of course there is no really cheap orginal. They also have some clone models/Edwards/Burny, etc. at better prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 There is a second-hand shop on the 4th floor, center of Fortune. Is that "I-Guitar"? The place I'm talking about has lots of used guitars and other musical instruments as well as watches and records. Way down the main corridor past the Aborn Elect. store.

I think you are talking about the smaller pawn shop type store. I-guitar is a music shop no watches or records as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanLaew Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 (edited) Bit of a lottery regarding which pawn shops may have guitars but a good guide is if you see amps and speakers in the windows or on the sidewalk outside, chances are they will have some guitars and keyboards inside.
