I don't know what it has to do with a "pawn shop," but this new Mustang looks bad-ass.

Lately I want to swap my Jag's pickups for humbuckers. Somewhere I saw some humbuckers that are specifically made to be the size/shape of single-coils so it would be easy to do this kind of swap.

This time home I'm going to take my electric apart.

I have always thought SG-colored guitars looked great. Matte!

Give some serious thought to the PRS SE Korina.  The humbucker model can be found for under $600, and it has a fast neck like an SG.  PRS SE guitars in general are well-made instruments.

The Squier Classic Vibe series are very good entry-level Fenders.  I bought a Classic Vibe 50s Telecaster for $300 cash and like it a lot, even though the body is made of pine. 

My favorite guitar is a Fender Road Worn 50s Stratocaster.  They can be found online used for $600 or less.

I didn't read this whole thread because of life, but I have a beautiful red fender stratocaster collecting dust in my basement if you want to talk about that.

Send it down here and I'll knock the dust off it for you.

My friend's SG has a skinny neck, actually. They're kind of hard to find like that, but I really like them.

I gotta figure shipping a guitar across the country isn't cheap, but what's the story on the strat, A-Cap?

So, end result, as I said elsewhere, is a '05 Les Paul standard. Mercy!

That is the kind of music that really makes me wish I didn't get randomly drug-tested for my jorb. Actually, a lot of the music I listen to makes me wish that.

I whole-heartedly agree with the sentiment. I'm not sure why I waited until I stopped getting high to pick up the guitar.

oh man, a 59 sunburst les paul, what a great thing to auction off at your wedding.

personally, I have always wanted this certain Les Paul that I have only seen Bob Marley with.
Except maybe a little darker, like more of a brown than a red. I don't know why, but a wood-grain LP seems like a really good Basic Rock Music guitar. So, you know, if my band sells lots of albums in the imaginary future, I will buy such a thing.

Until then I will stick with my really nice, awesome, blue guitar. Which, awesomely, now costs half of what I paid for it.

You really seem to like those. I almost bought one when I was looking. I was very close, but then I pulled the Standard off the wall and the rest was history. The one I was looking at was indeed quite dark and sort of a matte finish. It was like $600 or so, but they've since sold it.

Where are the pics of the guitar?  It's not This one perchance?
