About Guitaresque

Guitaresque is a Singapore-based non-professional classical guitar quartet. All our members are full-time working professionals but have come together because of our shared passion for guitar music.

We are alumni members of the NUS Guitar Ensemble (GENUS), the premier Niibori-styled guitar orchestra in Singapore, founded by Mr Alex Abisheganaden.

Guitaresque won the first prize and second prize (ensemble) in the 2004 and 2001 Singapore Guitar Festival Competition respectively.

My guitar case has arrived!

The fibre-glass guitar case which I'd order from Guitaraffecs has finally arrived (ed's note: Thanks, DHL - your delivery service is ever so efficient! Great stuff! )

Here're some pictures of the case:

The case has a nice shape, and it weighs a little more than 5 kg. (according to the packaging details on the delivery box it came in)

I especially love the twin straps at the back, which allows me to carry the case like a haversack.


The guitar neck is suspended by a raised cushion support. There is also a small attached pouch above which is convenient for carrying objects such as tuners and nail files, sandpaper, etc..


A interior is lined with plush cushioning. Probably not as thick and protective as some people would've liked, but then it's not as if I travel extensively with my guitar, so that is not a big issue for me. Anyway, you cant expect Accord or Karura kind of standard for a fraction of their prices! :P
