[SOLD] Epiphone Les Paul GoldTop

plateau — Sun, 29 Jun 2014 13:44:00 +0800

An Original Epiphone Les Paul GoldTop. Beautiful Gold color body Epi LP guitar which was made popular by guitarists such as Slash, who was my inspiration.

This Epiphone is handcrafted and made in the 90s (year 1997), in Korea and not like the recent ones which are made in China or Indonesia. They do not produce Epiphones in Korea anymore, so you can’t get the newer Epi’s that are made in Korea. This is a considered a limited edition, handcrafted in Korea Epi LP Gold Top. Serial number is shown at the pic below to check its authenticity.

The condition of the guitar is very good. Minor dings from wear and tear which are not that visible. The only visible flaw is that there is a scratch/crack at the back, top side. I can be OCD sometimes and I usually take good care of my belongings. So most of the times I am very careful with the guitar. You can imagine how I felt when it got that scratch. Other than that, this Epi looks gorgeous to the bone.

8/10 for visual condition because of the scratch. You judge yourself as my score can be very demanding.

10/10 working condition. It plays and sounds beautifully.

FREE Epiphone Hard Case. This hard case costs around RM200-400 on it’s own.

FREE Music Nomad Guitar Polish that will make the guitar shine like brand new.

Strings are also included but they are old and the 6th just snapped. So you will have to buy new ones to replace.

Price : SOLD

Dealing Method : Prefer COD. CC accepted via Paypal and buyer pays the Paypal fees.

Warranty : Test during COD

Location : Petaling Jaya

No trades as looking to sell off only. Already a family man and 1 guitar kapok is enough to satisfy my once in a while urge to lepas geram and play the guitar. It’s time for someone else to enjoy this Epiphone Les Paul Gold Top.

Run 700k+ Android Apps On Win8

Hey guys,

I just came across a program where you can run android apps on your windows device. It's called bluestacks :- http://www.bluestacks.com/

This will definitely help the issue where win8's market doesn't have alot of apps. Though not all apps will work, there's still 750k apps that will. Keep in mind that it's still in beta though, but do check it out.

Best Mobile Broadband in Singapore

plateau — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 23:46:35 +0800

What's the best prepaid mobile internet in Singapore? as i'm going there for a couple of days for a business trip.

I did some googling and found out that the price for 3 days unlimited internet is SGD18. This is the same price for singtel, starhub and m1. States that the speed is up to 7.2mbps (same for all 3).

I'll be bringing my own mifi modem which supports dc-hspa+, so will any of those 3 providers will actually support dc-hspa via prepaid? (which i doubt as its stated that its only up to 7.2mbps)

Which one should i go for?

[wta] Prepaid Internet In Singapore

plateau — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 00:37:52 +0800

What's the best prepaid internet in Singapore? as i'm going there for a couple of days for a business trip.

Update :

Okay guys. An update as i'm in singapore now using singtel. Using the unlimited 3 days pass for SGD18. Forgot to ask the CS when buying is it really unlimited or got quota, which i think got. Oh well.

Here's my speedtest using e5756 mifi :-

It's ok considering this is peak time (9.30pm).

Edit : Added another speedtest done at 12am/1am :-

Quite similar even on non peak time. Maybe the speeds are capped?

Weird though as i'm only getting a grade D. Maybe it's for singapore as i think that most users here use fiber broadband 100mbps lol. Also evident as the speedtest shows that i'm slower than 70%

Also, for some reason i cannot use other dns such as opendns and i'll have to use singtel's dns (default) to get it to connect.

Best Way To Get Paid By Clickbank

plateau — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:38:56 +0800

I've been with CB for quite some time already and always have gotten paid by check. Only problem is that it takes too long for the check to clear (1 month) and the fees.

What is the best way to get paid by CB and how do you do it if you don't mind sharing information, cause the more you share, the more you receive right ...

I've read about opening US bank account but haven't gotten around doing this yet. What are your thoughts about this and advices.

As for wire transfer, Malaysia is not accepted as a country to receive wires yet. Singapore has it so maybe it would be okay to open a singapore bank account?...only problem is that you'll have to go to singapore to open a singapore bank account.

DIscuss...
