Purchasing a stethoscope?

I realise this might be quite a long shot, but it's one worth taking.

Does anybody know where I might be able to source some stethoscopes for purchase? All I need is a single unit though - any leads would be incredibly helpful. So far everyone's been telling me to ask at pharmacies, which I will get to of course. If anybody might have any other info, I would appreciate that.

Thanks in advance!

Electric guitar suggestions?

Carbon — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 17:20:14 +0800

Hi guys,

I'm currently looking around for an electric guitar to get, my budget is about RM2-2.5k. I play mostly classic rock and metal, and occasionally some bluesy numbers. A versatile instrument would be good, but if its more suited to a particular style, that would be perfectly fine.

As for my criteria, thin necks preferred, and no tremolo.

I've tested only 3 guitars so far (LTD FX-260SM, MH-250QMNT, Epiphone LP Custom) and I quite liked them (however, I've read alot of rather negative opinions regarding 400-series below LTDs as being not 'worth the money'...), although the neck of the LP Custom was not to my liking.

I'd love to hear any suggestions you guys might have!

Thanks in advance everybody.
