Hey Xain!

Try the Al-Akaria mall in Olaya. They use to have some good music stores on the ground floor a while back.

as nonz said, there are some music stores in shola, but been there only once so cant say about electric guitar... there is a shop where i saw some electric guitars and good ones; its in batha. i think the place is called 5 or 3 buildings... theres a YAMAHA shop there. i recommend this as i think it will be a lot cheaper than other places

Shahab dude im new in town n i dont know about much places here,can u explain where Batha place is or if you have the GPS coordinates of that area then it will be very easy for me.

xain... sorry dude dont have the coordinates... ask any taxi driver to take u to the five buildings in batha it seems... the shop can be seen from the huge parking lot there... i m sure there might be more shops but as far as i know, this might be cheap and its branded too

Hi Xain. Read your blog with interest. I'm new to KSA and have similar interest in music. Found the same shop in Granada and thought it disappointing. I've seen the Yamaha shop as I was driven to the that area but not had chance to return yet. The word on our compound is that musical equipment is between 30 & 50% more expensive than Europe/USA.

I've actually had some of my kit transported out here (as the company paid seemed the best deal). I intend to visit the shops on the blogs and will post info as and when I get there. Good luck.

Hi Eltel,Good to know you have same interest, well i went to Dawaliah shop in Faisaliyah and bought Yamaha electric guitar pack that includes everything for a starter. I bought it for 1200 SAR few months back (Still i touched it a couple of times). You can compare prices with europe/usa.

Xain-

You and I are in the same boat. I just got here a couple weeks ago, and am looking for a shop to pick an axe and amp up from... Have you located a good store yet? I'm hoping to find someone that carries Charvel, Fender, Gibson or Ibanez... Amp, however is specific, as I am partial to Marshall and Mesa Boogie.

Any help is appreciated, as I miss playing....

Yes, but shipping on something like thats gonna COST... I already looked into having my rig sent over, but it'd be more cost effective to get one here....
