Cebu Guitar Mactan Island

[ghozt419]

because god loved the Philippines more...

[Nauticalman]

I went to ALL of the guitar factories in Cebu. I found Inday Celia to be the best quality, best price, and best service.

-I even left my Taylor guitar in the Philippines, thats how much I loved the one I got from Inday Celia.

[flatpicking]

@Nauticalman Yeah, some of them are of really great quality....you did the right thing! It is best to go to all the guitar factories in the Cebu as some of the guitars really stand out...Ibought 3 guitars in the Philipines, 2 cheap ones and one hand made...

[nerskie]

I want to know the location of this shop in Cebu. next year, I'll be going there and shop for quality guitars...Thank you.

[flatpicking]

@nerskie Hi, It is in a place called "Mactan Island" in Cebu. You will need to get a taxi there from the centre of Cebu. If you have a look on the internet for FERNAGELI GUITARS You will find the exact address. Along the road where this guitar factory is situated is ALL of the other main Quality Guitar factories.

[nerskie]

@flatpicking Thank you very much!

[8JobForAMexican8]

Is this in the philippines?

[flatpicking]

@8JobForAMexican8

Yes it is in the Phillipines, in a part called Cebu...it is the Island of the Guitar.....

[8JobForAMexican8]

@flatpicking Oh good, cause I'm going there next month 1st day of July. :] I want to get a guitar while i'm there. Do they have any guitar shops where they sell Electrics like Ibanez, Gibson Etc?

[flatpicking]

@8JobForAMexican8 You can get Ibanez, Ovation and other brands there...you can also find lots of cheap guitars though, so you have to go to a Good shop to get a Brand name like Prs or Fender etc.

[8JobForAMexican8]

@flatpicking Do you mean like, they sell Electrics there at the store you were in? Or do they have specific stores like located in SM Mall? Tell me the stores that you know where to get Electrics, cause here in America it's horribly hard to afford a good Ibanez.

[flatpicking]

@8JobForAMexican8 The shop I am in in this video is a "Hand made custom" acoustic guitar factory. BUT... it depends where you go, because if you land in Manila there is quite a few good shops like JB Music, Perfect Pitch in the Ayala centre and in Makati. I am not sure if you will get an Ibanez cheaper than in the USA though as it depends on the currency.

@flatpicking

I got my ibanez electric guitar in cebu!

[flatpicking]

@TheFlamesOfHeart ..Yeah......it's Great buying guitars in Cebu..I bought a hand made acoustic....Can get some good deals there.....

[btnheazy03]

[flatpicking]

HA ha, neither had I.....but WHAT a Guitar!!

Nice to look at and nice to play...

[btnheazy03]

if you get this guitar, you might end up playing with your dick instead of playing guitar hahaha just kidding

[jograd08]

0:38 that is an back shape. hehe

[elvinjohn7]

how much does one of those guitars cost in U.S. dollars?

[flatpicking]

due to the current exchange rate maybe around, $500 to $700 dollars, depending on the woods etc and if you buy direct from the factory.....

[jot2re]

Haha, I remember this place, I was there this summer. my father bourght a guitar there. They had some really nice guitars, and the owner of that factory you film in was really, really nice. Great place :)

[flatpicking]

Yeah its a cool place.....I hope your dad bought you a guitar to?....The problem is that they are quite inexpensive BUT I couldnt bring more than one back on the plane.....otherwise I would have got three or four of them...

[mitchlastima]

How much did you pay for that one in peso by the way ??? If you don't mind and if you still remember.

[flatpicking]

Hi.....I think it was 28,000 pesos [twenty eight thousand peseos] [around £300-£320 English pounds]. It is ALL Solid Wood- Top=Englemann Spruce,Sides=Philippine Koa, Ebony Board and Bridge etc....Sounds Great....I have played it all over the World.

[huyiy]

you shouldve checked out lilangs guitar, in cebu

[flatpicking]

Yeah...Iwanted to go to ALL of them....But the problem was finding them....and all the ones along the same road wasnt possible to visit because we had a taxi...and the driver was a bit impatient......If I was driving then I would have visited them all....Also I had my wife with me....so I had to show some considerationa and restraint....But I will go to Lilangs at some point.....

[rheinabubble7]

what is the name of this store?

[flatpicking]

It is not a store but a guitar factory. it is on Mactan Island Cebu. You will need to get a taxi to get there. Also in SM Mall they have a stall, But the best guitars are in the Ferangeli factory.....Along this piece of road there is lots of other guitar factories.
