what do you think is the best deal on a low budget guitar right now?
i just picked up a shecter c1-a/e for $500 bucks www.schecterguitars.com/  i swear these foreign made guitars are getting better and better. i really love the feel and sound of this thing. i feel bad for not buying a US made guitar for about five minutes ... then i realize how well this korean made thing plays |

I picked up a Mexican Strat (go figure) that I put Kinman pickups in. I love it. Great price, tone, and action.

I am quite fond of my 1959 Danelectro and my Gretsch 6120's. They make me happy! Arvin

Stays in tune very well. |

Guitar prices are definitely not what they used to be in the mid/early 90s, when I was seriously playing.
Hell, a few years back I picked up a Jackson Dinky Reverse for $250.00 Back in my hey day...the same fiddle was at least $1000.00 Check the Musicians Friend catalouge...all the old "heavy metal" axes that used to be really expensive, are quite cheap now. (Jackson, B.C. Rich, Charvell, ect. ect.) |

Bought a Fender "California" series Tele a few years ago. Parts are made in the US, assemply in Mexico. Not bad for $400. Too bad they cancelled that line.
My pick right now for acoustics is the Martin 15 series. You can pickup a nice sounding 000-15 or D-15 for $600-700. |

Now Gibson means $$$$$$, even thought their QC sucks. |
