Acoustic guitar recos around 10k

A friend is asking for my recommendation and I am no longer familiar with the entry-level brands/models.

10k isn't a lot of money, especially for a bnew guitar, I accept that there are some concessions to be made so here are my priorities:

  1. Hardware - from frets, nut, tuners, bridge, saddle -- they are of utmost importance.
  2. Wood choice - alam kong medyo limited dito, but kung may masu-suggest kayo na solid top, would really appreciate it.
  3. Electronics - I have a feeling na very rarely lang sya ipu-plug sa amp so kahit hindi ganun ka-ganda, but dapat meron syang pick ups.

Thank you guys!

Counterfeit Headphones

I hope this is ok to post. Came across this product on Shopee. I knew right away that it's fake because of the price (I want to buy the exact same model), but it's sad to see people getting baited and thinking this was an authentic Audio Technica product.

M50X costs atleast ₱12,500 sa JB, and here you could buy 5 of it at that price. Yeah, too good to be true. Upon checking their shop, their M30x costs ₱300 more than M50X, and the M20X costs ₱100 less than M50X.

GrassRoots bootlegs in RJ

Dropped by an RJ store last week and noticed they had a GrassRoots bootleg guitar there, a copy of the GrassRoots G-A-68. Medj mahal but it is still cheaper than what you'd pay for the actual GrassRoots guitar especially now that its out of production.

Curious lang if it's the same stock they had many years back, I remember around 2013 they had a lot of bootleg artist guitars from GrassRoots, if you knew Japanese bands like Nightmare and The Gazette they had the guitarists' models. They had GrassRoots branding and everything but were also cheaper than the Japanese prices. Pero all of a sudden those guitars disappeared when Lyric first announced distributorship of ESP guitars.

The guitar I saw had an RJ logo sa headstock, so IDK if that's really the old stock na rebadged. Anyone have any info if these are "OEM" GrassRoots guitars? Pretty niche models to bootleg but maybe RJ's buyers thought no one would recognize the guitars.

Looking for new legit strings for long term use since my electric guitar's stock strings are rusting and I'm just a newbie so I'm not sure where or what brand I should buy, I've also heard that the 100 pesos fender strings are not good. Where should I buy good strings online?

Same lyrics vs a famous singer

I wrote a song about 14+ years old na. I’m producing the song and planning to release the song soon. The problem is, a famous singer released a song with a line that has the same lyrics as mine. As in 2 lines has the same thought.

What would you do in this situation? Do i change the lyrics just for the sake na hindi ako mabash na gaya gaya kahit na coincidence lang or should i stick with it?
