Yanika Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) I’m about to inherit a guitar, but i don’t really know about the quality. The guy said he got it for 30$ from another guy that got it for 60$. Now hes giving it away free do you guys think its a bad idea? Maybe its better to buy one Edited August 22, 2022 by Yanika Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yanika Posted August 22, 2022 Author Share Posted August 22, 2022 Any sort of advice would be helpful✋ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedzep Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) It's probably firewood, but free firewood. Hang it on a wall. If you are a decent player, buy a good guitar. If you're a beginner, buy a student model commensurate with your finances. No one here can have an opinion on mystery guitars. We share pics and specs.

Twang Gang Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Since it is free you have nothing to lose. Give it a try, it might be fine especially if you are just starting out playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparquelito Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 It's a free copy of a Stratocaster. And it looks pretty good. Get it, have somebody who knows what they are doing do a set-up and re-stringing on it, and play the heck out of it!! If you live near Harvest, Alabama, I volunteer to do the set-up job for free. 😀 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabs Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Yeah. Give it a go... Most likley it wont have great sounding pickups but you never know. Also on cheaper guitars you tend to get poor fretwork and cheap electronics which go wrong very quickly.. In saying all that. You never know, it might be very playable.. I have played cheap Squire strats that wernt bad at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much to say about the guitar but that ship is cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I have not heard of this guitar, but found this on Reverb. Its got a price sticker on like the OPs too. https://reverb.com/uk/item/32803250-overland-stratocaster-copy-black £48 + £320 shipping (Seaton is about 115 miles from me) 2 year old listing bent neck (and bent seller). 'Overland' is also supposed to be a range from Orangewood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefang Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 The price is right. So why sweat it? And it IS a gift. So do you go through this much fuss every Christmas? Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I happen to live in Sweden 😅 Well, that is a bit far for me to travel. But I'm sure there are some local guitar guys who would LOVE to do a set-up and restringing for you. Want me to advertise and find some for you? I'm a pretty good internet finder. 😋 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
