Hong Kong shops

Post by Conway »

Can anyone recommend some guitar shopping spots in Hong Kong? Especially cork sniffery guitars, pedals and amps. Double especially PRS and Duesenbergs. Cheers.

Tom Lee Music would be the Rock Shop equivalent.

HK is more or less a duopoly between Parsons and Tom Lee. Tom Lee is the better one for Rock and Roll for sure......particularly PRS. Go to their main store in Tsim Sha Tsui.

I never found any funky, cool boutique stores there.

I'm up there in a months time. Mid June I'll also be in Kuala Lumpur for a week, but I already know all the shops in KL pretty well (frequent visitor there on business).

Being an impatient and impulsive type, chances are I will be coming back with something from one of those places unless I've bought something prior. I also have a spotter who keeps sending me links to good deals on new and secondhand Deusenbergs and I'm starting to get tempted by some of those.

The NZ second hand market is well served by you fickle chaps who travel lots, buy awesome guitars and get bored with them before your next trip.

HK, yes Tom Lee is main one, in TST as Matt said. Good for Effects or budget stuff, and actually lots of nice acoustics at the TST branch. But not really boutique or high end electrics. I got the sense there was lots of range in the mid to bottom, and good deals on some things... Just keep a smart phone with data coverage handy.
Larrivee 00 Acoustic. FAV Strat for electric. Ibanez SDGR5 for bass. Push for Ableton. When not doing that, 3D CAD for tunnels...
