Basshole Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 We all have are first guitars which for the most part are the squires, first act, and harmonys of the world. What is the cheapest guitar in your collection I have a pink fender Strat W/Mighty might neck which was $150. Has good tone and plays pretty well. It is my moms guitar but I play it more than she does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 US made Ovation Academy, $61 on ebay. I also have a US made Applause that was $12 on ebay (basket case). It's all better now. I just bought another Academy, which is in a brown truck right now, for $49. I also have a '98 Seagull I paid $100 for. Those are proudly parked right next to the J200 and other ritzy Gibsons in the house. As to electrics, I do have a '99 Squier Affinity Strat I bought for $60 and upgraded with a 70s decal, bone nut and Gotohs. And it is proudly parked next to the Tele and LP. I either don't discriminate or I have no shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I own an Epiphone special II (nothing special anbout it... believe me). I played her yesterday after having her in her case for more than 4 months... she plays ok... for a 150 buck guitar it is very good. I have had her for more than 15 years and have modded her a lot, now the only part of that guitar that is original is the wood (ply-wood that is), as I have upgraded everything... which was done one thing at a time and took more than 10 years to do. I am keeping her so when my kids want to learn to play they can learn with her instead of an expensive guitar. I am currently only playing my les paul standard faded, the others get playe about once a month (at most). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXE® Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 By today's standards it may be considered "cheap. But when I purchased it new in 87 it was by no means cheap... 1987 Charvel #model 4 ... And it still gets use... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichCI Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 A Yamaha AES (or something) series archtop that I picked up at a clearance sale for $150 a year or so ago. I think I've played it three times. It's not that it's a bad guitar, it's just not nearly as nice as my others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynadude Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 A Kona A/E acoustic I paid $100 for new. It was in a local pawn shop, and had a little damage to the bottom strap peg area. Someone had dropped it and jammed the strap button into the body, about 1/8 inch deep. It's a nice looking guitar, and plays about as well as any acoustic I've ever tried. The pickup and EQ work really well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grampa Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I only have cheap guitars. My Gibson F-25 acoustic cost me $150 in 1982. My Squire Tele may be the most expensive one I have if you factor in the cost of rewiring it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modoc_333 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 i have a few super cheap ones that are just around, but i never touch. the 2 cheapest that i touch are 2 of my favorites. first is a late '96 MIJ Squier Vista Jagmaster. i love this guitar for hard rock (Alice in Chains types tones). i love everything about it, and it's awesome. the Squier name doesn't do it justice since it was made in the regular Fender Japan plant. second is a 1966 H56 Harmony Rocket. just a cool little hollowbody. i removed the original trem and replaced it with a bigsby.

grampa Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 A harmony Rocket! I missed out on one of those about 20 years ago and still think about it occasionally. Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modoc_333 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 yeah, they made several versions, and some are complete garbage. most are abused/neglected... but if you find a cool one then they really are an awesome guitar that is quite under the radar as far as pricing.

Not sure if it's one of the better ones, but they sure are proud of it. I think they're asking $300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Danelectro late 90's reissue of the 59 DC. Think slide guitar by Jimmy Page. Takes a MAN to play a pink guitar.... Peavey T-60. Peavey's first electric guitar - still out there used for $300, a STEAL for an American guitar. Made in 1980. Supposed to bridge the gap between a Les Paul and a Stratocaster. Not a success, but a well-made guitar. Beautiful Ash body, great versatility, very slim Maple neck. Coil tap, phase switching from the factory. Built like a tank.

CincinnatiSi Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 My cheapest is a Hofner has-03 acoustic that I got about 6 years ago for $150. I keep in my boys room hoping that they will show some interest in it someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
