which one should i buy???

[joe web]

i´m really not shure, maybe your opinions can help me through my own debate. i know i posted a few threads about these guitars, but i still don´t know which one i should buy. so guys, please help me out!!!
the first one is a san dimas charvel form 1995, it´s used but very good condition. price is about 700.- euro = us$ 820.-

the second one is a dinky DR-3 i think. it must be a 1996 model. condition is near mint. price about 380.- euro = us$445,00

the third one is a RR-3 with special paintjob. this guitar is new, and the price is 599.- euro = us$701,73


so please which one would you buy????

thanx for your replies!!!

If it were me (which it is not), I would buy the San Dimas Charvel......and mainly the reason I say this is that it will hold it's value better than the newer imports, is USA made, and (arguably amongst some) the quality is a lot higher with better components. [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

That is my $0.02 worth. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Joe, I'd go with the DR3.

Re: which one should i buy???

I would go with the 95 San Dimas Charvel. Hand crafted, Dimarzio pickups (unless they've been changed) and if it's a model with a Floyd (can't tell cause of the X graphic in the way) it's a REAL Floyd. Better value than the other two guitars.

Re: which one should i buy???

Never buy a guitar with the thought of resale value in mind - you'll never play it and it's a waste of money.
Buy the one that has the construction, design, and playability features you are most interested in.
If you want a USA-made Strat-style that is good for most Rock, get the Charvel.
If you want a high-quality Japanese-made Strat-style guitar that's perfect for Hard Rock/Metal, get the Dinky.
If you want the all-out Metal image and great playability, get the Rhoads.
If you want an investment, buy a Certificate Of Deposit or buy Stock in a company.
