Must be crazy for the people working in those stores to just suddenly have Perfecto walk in and try out their guitars.

I remember buying my first guitar. My budget is only 3000 pesos and out of all the guitar that is for sale, I picked the guitar worth 4500 and it speaks to me. I asked if they can lower the price and I came back and forth 3 times, like the guitar is calling me. Until they finally agreed to sell the guitar for my 3000 budget. I'm so happy that day. And I still play with that guitar until now.

I feel sorry for those other guitar stores that didn’t allow you to take videos. They lost a good opportunity of a free advertisement. If I’m the manager of the store and there is a policy, I’m going to immediately call the higher management to make an exception for this case. Nice content, Sir PDC. I hope there’s also a tip on buying a Floyd Rose guitar.

If you plan on getting Floyd Rose equipped electric electric, get a better quality guitar with quality Licensed Floyd Rose, some company use Cheaper materials on the LFR base plate, once the blade on either side wears down, it would be tougher to keep the LFR at zero point or floating. Another thing to consider is Floyd Rose guitar are a little harder to tune when you change strings often, you could use a piece of popsicle stick to prevent the FR from pulling back (I place a paper on guitar body before placing the stick) without string tension, the springs will pull On the FR. note: I only own one electric guitar with LFR, it has Takeuchi LFR (made in Japan) considered one of the better made LFR. Gotoh LFR are also good quality, Schaller LFR (made in Germany) are also good. If you are hard set on getting guitar with Floyd Rose, you can always upgrade the part with better quality but that would increase your cost.

I bought my first electric guitar without knowing all these aspect and only relying on the aesthetics and what I feel when I play it. Siyempre I had some research prior to buying it and it was all fun. I’m a lefty and I learn to play right handed dahil nanghihiram lang ako noon ng gitara sa kabarkada so this vid really helps a lot. Kudos Sir Perf for your unending passion to teach all of us.

I might be a beginner, but I will follow these steps in buying my very first electric guitar. Thank you boss Perf.

hi perf had the privilege of watching u play live at the 90s concert at okada. Unfortunately was not able to have a pic with u. Anyway, you still the man!!! Growin up i listened on how u played and knowing that u also came from cabadbaran inspired me a lot. Keep on rockin man...Godbless

Selecting amplifiers: For acoustic guitar, I have Roland AC33RW either using four D batteries or connect to power point. It has a microphone input, both inputs are reverberated, very loud and clear for busking on the streets. For an electric guitar I have Roland Cube 30w with built in multiple effects,and bought special Roland double pedals to switch in between clean different multiple effects... their excellent japanese amplifiers...... Five times cheaper than Marshall and Vox British designed amplifiers and American Fender amp....To Perfecto de Castro : you have good tips fo buying guitars,dude..KEEP ON ROCKING..

10:11 this is important if you have new string attach cause it loosen the tight of string if you used it. I remember when we played guitar on stage, my friend have a new string and at first play music, its all good, but when it comes to second music, the tuning of his guitar comes down. And the judges and us wait for him to tune yhe guitar. So do this is important.
