UNO Standard is back!


Remember the UNO Standard? They have been nowhere to be seen since half a year ago. I remembered that there were quite a lot of people who were hunting for them on local forums. I was one of them. At least I was among the lucky ones who managed to get it (once again, thanks Sub!). 
Well, here's the good news. It is back! I saw the Red Tiger hanging on the wall when I went to visit SV 2 days ago. There are a few changes though. It now comes with flamed top instead of the quilted top. I played with it for half an hour and it feels just like my Red Tiger. It means that the quality control is being maintained. It is still priced at S$599 but do take note that it doesn't come with a softcase anymore. So assuming that you will purchase a bag at the shop, it will probably cost you about S$599+25.

The red 'baby' in HERE!

Well, I believe I am not the only one who pampered myself with a new instrument at the end of the year. Now come to think of it, all my band members are getting new instruments. Bassist got himself a new LTD bass, keyboardist (also the 2nd author of this blog) got himself a new synthesizer. The vocalist will be getting something as well. Oh well, anyway this is what I've gotten myself for. Not going to talk much about its goodness today. I will leave it for another day!


This is the discontinued UNO Standard. I bought this from Subversion. As usual, I have faith in him and that he takes very good care of all his instruments and he will never sell any faulty instrument. So I didn't even bother to try it out before getting it. But I do know what to expect from a UNO Standard since I'd tried it countless times at SV before it was sold. 
When I show this to my friend, she said it's just like my Fernandes. =/ Oh well, she is not entirely wrong actually. Both are red and comes with a quilted top. I just like quilted tops and red colour. For UNO Standard, the matching headstock and the binding is what makes it more sexy. 
Now, my Christmas is complete. New guitar, new pedal and more to come! I am definitely a happy boy!
The above is the gig bag that comes along with the UNO Standard. It is a very well-padded bag for a complementary gig bag. However, I will still be getting a hard case since it will probably be traveling with me to Myanmar.
Lastly, I got a matching guitar strap. I find the velvet-like material for the strap rather attractive. And it goes well with the quilted top! Now, I will have to think of a name for it.
