I was in Kota Kinabalu a few days back having a good holiday and scuba diving. But then again my secondary objective was looking for guitar shops. And of course I found one. There is only 1. So don't try to search high and low. You'll find one studio to jam and one that sells musical instruments.

Needless to say, look for it in KK Plaza. 2nd Floor. It's called Hollywood Music Store (I think). Unfortunately I forgot to take my camera along to show the guitars being sold. But I'll try to name a few according to memory.

Fender Stratocaster. I saw 4 electrics and 2 basses. 3 of the electrics are Mexico. Both of the basses are USA.

Ibanez. Not a really big fan of it, but I saw the standard rg. Black as usual.

Epiphones were 3. All were Les Paul series.

Then there was the Gibson. The Gibson was a ugly pink in colour. SG-X. I would assume it was around 1997 to 1999.

Specs:

Pickup = a 500T exposed polepiece ceramic magnet Humbucker.
Body = Mahogany
Fretboard = 24 frets rosewood w pearl dot in-lay

Tune-o-matic bridge/stop tailpiece
1 Tone control
1 Volume control

It actually is a pretty guitar... if it's not pink! Just because they made it a limited edition, it's hard to believe Gibson thinks collectors would buy a pink one. It's a good thing there are other colours available. Bad choice of colour in KK then.
