Acoustic guitars in Malaysia: prices in RM and what to check

Updated 31 October 2026

An acoustic guitar in Malaysia costs from about RM 59 for a small student model, RM 300 to RM 700 for a brand-name entry model, and RM 3,500 or more for premium makers. Mid-range models with a case or electronics sit between RM 1,000 and RM 2,300. For current prices, describe the guitar you want on BlaBlaPrice, which looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Malaysia.

Warranty: read the terms first

Warranties differ by brand. Yamaha's Malaysian warranty page gives one year and offers six months extra if the product is registered within 60 days of purchase. One guitar store in Malaysia lists two years on its acoustics, but its terms cover manufacturing and material faults only and exclude strings, straps and picks. Another retailer's warranty is valid only in Malaysia. Ask for the written terms and the registration steps before you pay.

Humidity and the wet season

Malaysia is hot and humid all year, with wet and dry seasons rather than winter, so wood reacts to damp air more than to cold. Keep the guitar in its case, away from air-conditioner vents and sunny windows. Solid-wood tops are the most sensitive to humidity changes, so ask about the top wood before you buy.

Delivery, size and what is included

Listings give sizes in inches, such as 38-inch or 40-inch, so measure the body length in cm if you need a case or stand. Prices are in RM, and the listings do not always say whether delivery is included, so ask for the total to your city, whether Kuala Lumpur, George Town, Johor Bahru, Ipoh or Shah Alam. Check what is in the box too: a bag, tuner or strap changes the value of a RM 300 model a lot.

What to write in your request

Name the guitar type (dreadnought, concert, cutaway or nylon string), the model if you have one, and the size in inches. Add whether you want new or used, your playing level, the top wood you prefer, such as spruce or mahogany, what should be included, your budget in RM and the delivery city.
