Secondhand guitars...

Why I prepare secondhand guitars.

 Everybody wants an own guitar, of cause an own new guitar. I agree with that, but I prepare to buy secondhand guitars. The biggest reason why I like secondhand guitars is the price. The guitar’s price, especially guitars with good quality are expensive. In this reason it’s hard for me to buy a guitar, which I like. Therefore, I can buy a secondhand guitar in low price, a guitar, which I like, but couldn’t buy because it was expensive. 


 Some people say that if you buy a secondhand guitar, it’s bad, because that guitar is skilled by former owner. But I think this difference could feel people, who are play guitar very well, like a good musicians, guitarists. So, it doesn’t influence so much for us, amateurs. 

 In Korea, there is the biggest portal website, where many people who like music deal their instruments. In this site you can find many guitars, and sometimes limited edition.

 However, dealing of used guitar can be dangerous. You should be careful!  Nevertheless, if you want to try secondhand guitars, there are my short advices:
 1. Find actual(real) price of guitar, which you want to buy.
 2. Compare prices of new guitar and secondhand guitar on the market.

If you do that, you can buy a secondhand guitar in a good price.

Nakwonsangga, Seoul, Korea

Nakwonsangga, Seoul, Korea

 Hello, in today’s post I want to introduce about one place, in Seoul, Korea. Here you can see a lot of musical instruments, not only guitars, but also the others. This place called ‘Nakwonsangga’(낙원상가). It locates in Insa-dong, Jongnogu.

 In this place you can buy pianos, violins, guitars, amps, and the others instruments and equipments for your instrument. As I know ‘Nakwonsangga’ is a biggest and oldest place in Korea, where sell the musical instruments. 

 Many people, who live in countryside and can’t buy guitars, come in to the ‘Nakwonsangga’. Others shops also come here and buy instruments for sell in their shops. Moreover many famous Korean musicians come here, and some of them, when they were unknown, spent their time here.

 If you come to the ‘Nakwonsangga’, you can hear guitar playing all day long. Of cause you can play too, but be careful, the guitar sellers play very well, and you can be daunted.

 I like this place, because when I come here I can feel that music is ‘alive’. Maybe it looks strange, but I feel like this. So, if you are interested not only in guitars, but also in music, I recommend you to visit here!  

The guitar amp – the Marshall MG-15CDR

The guitar amp – the Marshall MG-15CDR

 When we talk about guitars, especially electric guitars, we can’t let the amps. The amps and the electric guitars are inseparable from each other. Of cause we can just play without an amp, but if we do that, we can’t hear an electronic sound of our guitar. Therefore it’s mean that if we don’t have any amps, our guitars are of no use! So, in today’s post I want to introduce one model of the amps.
 There are two big companies, which make good amps. There are the Fender and the Marshall, and I want to introduce one model of the Marshall amps. The model name is Marshall MG-15CDR.

The number 15 means the output of the amp. So, this model’s output is 15W. I like this amp, because it’s suitable for an apartment, and also for a small concert. If you use an amp with output low than 15W, in my opinion, the sound of your guitar will be not so nice, nevertheless if you have a good guitar. 
 Therefore the Marshall MG-15CDR is good. This amp is also good for a small concert. I’m sure it can guarantee the output, and you can hear the sound with good quality. 

 Moreover what I like more in this amp is that the Marshall MG-
15CDR has the Reverb function. Not many 15W amps have this function. When you use reverb, the sound is more clearly and nicely than if you don’t use.

 However I have the bad news. The Marshall MG15CDR has been discontinued. So if you want to get this model, you should buy secondhand. But if you buy this model, you will not regret!

The Kraken guitars

The Kraken guitars

 I posted about guitars, and introduced concretely about some models. So, today I want to write about one company, which makes for you your own guitar. The name of this company is KRAKEN.
The merit of the Kraken guitars is that you can get a unique guitar. It’s mean not only externally, but also internally. You can choose starting from a body shape of the guitar to electronic components, like pickups. The order is simple. Visit to the main site of this company, and you can give an order. Of cause you can get counseling, before the order. As I know, you also can get the expected estimate for your guitar, and I heard that it’s not so expensive.

 But in my opinion, the Kraken guitars have some disadvantages, and one of this is the quality of the sound. I heard also that this company puts emphasis on the appearance of the guitar, not on the quality of the performance.

 For this reason I don’t like the Kraken guitars, but I think it’s nice that you can choose and get the guitar, which could be the sole guitar in the world. So, I recommend this type of guitars for people, who want the pretty unique guitar, but ready to endure the quality of the sound. However, maybe in the future the company will bother more in performance, and then it will be very nice to get the Kraken guitar. Get your own unique guitar~
