My new $52+shipping guitar

[JBall008]

I got an older one of those RX models for my son for like $45. It's actually pretty nice. A couple of small changes (strings, tuners, etc) and it would rock!

How much was shipping?

Because of the silly price you paid, you can't use the "I-been-had" phrase should the guitar fall apart

In spite of the tape on my mouth, I must chime in.

If you blindfolded most guitar players and put something in their hands and made them play... and mixed it up... a few different brands, price ranges, I think the results would be STUNNING.
When I think about this kind of thing, I always remember what the guy who started Boston Accoustics said.
"It's no trick to make a great sounding set of speakers for $2,000, the trick is to make a great sounding set for $250."
This was just after he kicked everyone's ass in a "behind the curtain sound test" with some of the most highly paid audio journalists of the time.
I still have my $250 B.A. speakers, buy the way, hmmmm let's see... some 20 years later? And they still sound great.
Leave the brand/image stuff at the door, just play.
Music never has, or ever will be about yuppie prestige.
It's about music!

Nice score Fett.

Peace!

Well, I got the guitar. Remember what I said about "Sloppy Seconds" necks? The overall neck is fine. Once the bleeding stops, I'll file down the fret ends.:ROTF: It's Korean from 2000 and it has a solid body.

Well, when they are sharp/hang off the end like that, at least you know you have metal to work with right?

Good luck with it!!!
