The two choices I have is the Ibanez AF75TDG which DeadEye is selling for 1.5k or so. And the other one is Cort Source-BV which if I'm not mistaken, is going for 1.4/1.9k. Gahhh!!!
Some of you might ask, why not go for Washburn 335 copies? Or Epiphones? Well I didn't use the word "scour" for no reason. These stuff are really hard to find in Malaysia, unless I've been looking at the wrong places. Epiphones... they're still goddamn expensive and 2nd hand Epis are nowhere to be found. Some people on the internet say that Epis are hit and miss guitars too. Some are good, some are bad. So fuck Epiphones.
Cort Source-BV
I really want a Cort Source but it's fucking Cort and I've never heard of the brand before. And I'm not sure if they have it in Cherry Red. So far, all the pictures that I've seen of this guitar is in black colour. However, it has the 335 shape that I love so so much!! ... and that's the only thing I like about it. Tone-wise, I've come to accept that sometimes these things are hit and miss. Besides, Sam told me amps matter the most...Sigh
Ibanez AF75TDG
On the other hand, there's this Ibanez AF75TDG. I love it's shape too, albeit slightly less likable than a 335 shape. And the colour!!! SOOOO NICE!! and GOLD HARDWARE!!! Selling for 1.5k which I can manage to shell out for!! BUTTTTT, it's not a 335 shape!!! And it's full hollow body, which I've heard people on the internet say that it gives a lot of feedback :(
I'm leaning towards the Ibanez at the moment, mainly because of its price. I'm hoping for some semi/hollow bodies experts to give me advice but there seem to be none in my Friend's List. Moreover, I changed my MSN ages ago and gapnap still hasn't add me yet. To call him for this problem is kinda like a dick move too since I haven't been to music master for months. And nobody's reading this shit to help me decide.
There's still one more month to decide, I hope I don't regret my decision when the time comes :(

Hello, maybe I'mo not so objective... I own two Cort guitars: a Z42, which is my first guitar, and a G-260 OPN. I tried some guitars and I always found mine to be very well done for the price. The Source BV (with the Cort CR) is one of my favourite guitars so maybe it would be my third guitar :-). Have fun!
anonymous: thank you for your input!
I own a Cort Source BV BK, and I think it's a really fine guitar, I'd recommend it. I was afraid of the the guitar getting out of tune because of the Bigsby, but it stays in tune quite well.
