which guitar? budget of only $400

[beckham87]

Basically Ive been playing guitar for only a year, and I owned a 2nd hand yamaha rgx-121s, really a beginners guitar. What do you guys recommend if u have a budget of only 400 bux, to either: buy a new guitar such as the lower end ltds, or, to check out for a 2nd hand guitar, like, from guitar connection? Which would be a better choice?

 

[bin4christ]

i'd say,get from GC..

 

[ithunk]

lol wat guitar u getting?

 

[subzero11]

i'd say GC would be a better choice. you can find many good deals there for your budget.

the ltd mh somthing looks nice at 390. but i tink the frets like kind of too big. prefer guitar with shorter fret length and maple fretboard... any other 2nd hand guitar shops around?

 

[subzero11]

hmmm you could try scouting around luther classifieds.
http://www.luthermusic.com

sometimes they have some good stuff there as well. 8)

thanx for the info,how bout my old guitar, sell to cash converters, or to the same shop tt i bought? :roll:

 

[teleholic]

think an OLP should suit you fine..go check at davis..350 i think..

 

[shreddedsweeper]

cash convertors pricing is awesome =)

 

[ShredCow]

cash convertors pricing is awesome =)

Only if you find a truely good deal. I've seen 2nd hand MIJ Fenders there for 1.2k.


Check SOFT's classifieds too. Someone is selling an ibanez SZ320.

 

[beckham87]

awesome? u mean will they offer like, 10 percent of the value? or maybe a rough estimation... anw the suzuli les paul copy loks nice, and also the sx custom made ... both 290 at davis i think... oh well i think ill go check out GC first

anyone sold any instruments to cash converters? are they as blur with buying as they are with selling?

 

[beckham87]

maybe it comes down to luck..im hoping to get half of what i paid for my 2nd hand yamaha :lol: .

if u want a strat style w maple fretboard, i'd recommend a yamaha pac 112m, go check with luthermusic if they can bring it in, should be $390 or less, yamaha guitars imo are way underrated, and they settle in to be really good guitars

 

[beckham87]

I'll look into it, thanx for the recommendation.

 

[jeremyrozario]

but if you don't mind a rosewood fingerboard, then a cort g254/g250 would be good too, but i dun tink swee lee bring in anymore

 

[ala_carte]

go get an ibanez! juz avoid the gio series..

 

[strats]

wait for year end SL saze, get the sa260 or rg321

 

[GunToHeart]

might as well upgrade the yamaha instead of buying a new guitar.

like what someone else said, you can zhng your guitar however you want but you can't change the feel.
