They don't have phone books in Hong Kong?

If they don't, try contacting the Chinese distributor:

GUANGZHOU FAST MUSICAL INSTRUMENT
38-3 BIN JIANG XI RD.
HAI ZHU DISTRICT, GUANGZHOU, 190 510000
86 020 34205702

Hello thowradal, welcome to the Forum.

It's been a long time, but back in the day Tom Lee Music was the authorised Fender dealer in Hong Kong. A quick search suggests it still is. Plenty of branches throughout Hong Kong and Kowloon; check this page for addresses:

Good luck - C

Thanks a lot to all of you! :)

Nope... they got rid of phone books a while back.. and not a local so I'm not good at using their telephone service.. :/

Yeah I've been to a few Tom Lee's already but I just wondering if there were other stores.
I shall keep hunting and hopefully get my hands on my first Fender :))))

Hi again thowradal: there was someone else on this Forum not long ago who said Tom Lee's Fender selection tended to focus on the lower price end of the catalog, but that as an authorised dealer they can order anything else if you ask them. No doubt they'd want a deposit first, of course.

Good luck with it - C

I was in the Wanchai Tom Lee shop at lunch today. Sadly they have the most rude people working at electric guitar department. Ruined my experience to start my Xmas season shopping season on a new Strat. Time and time again the Wanchai Tom Lee shop is horrible. This kind of 'i am too cool for you' sales attitude is KILLING the FENDER brand in Hong Kong and hurting Tom Lee.

Ha - welcome back old thread.

Hi wanchairesident, welcome to the Forum.

Unfortunately, that is not a unique experience, so far as guitar shops goes. In these days of internet shopping stores can't afford to lose customers this way - yet snotty service is still far too common in the music business. No doubt you will vote with your feet.

Anyhow. It's a long time since I was last in Hong Kong. Since you live there, are there any guitar shops which you do like and would recommend, for the next time this question comes up?
