Ummm.....i heard that around thanksgiving everything goes for less than the usual in the U.S...so should i wait till thanksgiving and buy a guitar from there or should i just go ahead and buy a guitar from india itself........also need ur guys take on the washburn wl18.....checked it out at bharat music house in new delhi.....it had a slim neck and the action was great.....the pups were decent too.....
+1 If you are in States then shop for one there other wise shop out here you do get things out here that 5 years back was not available.
where ever you buy play it first and then see if you are comfortable with the the guitar both in its tone as well as playability. think you will be fine and it depends where you want to buy!!
the thanksgiving discount applies mostly to electronics.. dunno if guitars will also get a cut in prices.. but anyways.. guitar prices in USA are cheaper than the indian prices any day of the year.. my ibanez 170dx cost around 9.5k indian equiv in the US.. got it during christmas.. no discounts or price cuts..
