buy a guitar in Kuwait

hay guys,

I'm a beginner player and I'm planing to buy a new guitar. I know there are many posts talk about the best choices for the beginners, but I live in Kuwait and I don't think that I'll find some sertain guitar brands or models ,and I'm not intrested to buy it online.I can't buy without playing it .so I will look around ,vist the shops ,trying out then find the best choice. so if there any information could help me please replay or any tests that I can do in the shop and what are the sutable gauges for the action and the angel ( I have no sure information about this )...

Hi rolly,

It is very difficult to give you advise not knowing what guitars are available to you. If you are not willing to buy online, your choice will be very limited. Why don't you take a look around some shops and see what they have. Write them down and come back here and post what you've found. We can them give you some advise regarding the guitars you have to choose from.

There is nothing wrong buying online. I would consider talking with Johannes from www.mundo-flamenco.com. He has sold to customers in Kuwait and it'll be less expensive purchasing a guitar from him in Germany than someone like me in the US. He is very reputable and a good man.

If you think the choice is limited in Kuwait try Yemen. We're building a guitar for Yemeni customer right now.

It must be a great feeling for a guitarrero to know some of his guitars are all over the world.

That is impressive Anders. I am very happy for the success you have had since your humble beginnings. Your hard work has paid off.

Sorry rolly. I didn't mean to change the topic of your thread. I'm sure others will join in regarding your questions.

rolly, you might want to consider having a guitar built for you. Perhaps you can consult with Kambiz Sinichi in Iran.
