hi all,

been here for quite sometimes already, and have been looking around for a cheap guitar, but everywhere i go, it seems like the price is much more expensive than back home. anyone know where i can get a decent and cheap guitar? (not intend to bring back later, therefore go for cheap one)

Thanks~

Go to MusiciansFriend.com.

Bought me a Squire ElectroStratacuoustic (Looks like the Fender Stratocaster but its electric acoustic)I also bought a Mini Squire Electric Stratocaster for my young son, and will take it back home as a present for him.

Paid via Western Union. used ARAMEX and got it shipped to Doha in less than 2 weeks

You can buy any guitar, even the Eric Clapton signature Fender Stratocaster there. Depends on what you want.

Give yrself a threat man! You are in Qatar and must be making big bucks. Get one that you have been dreaming off, allthese years and bring it home with you, when you are done here!

I just jam on my own in my room in the Camp to my collection of Backing Tracks.

There is a YAMAHA agent on Shara Kaharaba called "Continental Traders". I ordered a digital 03D Mixer from them by catalogue. They brought it to Qatar within a month. So, you could choose a Yamaha guitar from the book and they'll get it here. The "F" type is an excellent acoustic guitar. The higher the number, the higher the price. For example an F-850 would be around QR 1.600 or so.

there has been lots of speculation recently that www.qbay.com is about to open in Qatar.

I guess that will be the ideal place to look for a guitar ?

All the best

Awwwwww Come On! Do yourself some justice! Go buy one of the good guitars from the online dealers. Dun go for cheap stuff. You are in the Middle East. Pamper yourself a little bit.

I did that, even tho I have never been a professional guitarist. Wished I had tho! LoL

Why would you want to make yourself suffer. Do you expect a cheap instrument to produce a good tone? I can only advice you to spend some more on a more expensive instrument, and you'll have more fun in the end. (I used to be a professional musicians for more than 20 years).
