Default What would you get?!?!

Okay, a trickle from the GAS funds has been released! What would you guys get for $500 or less? If you have any links share them and if you are selling something let me know!

The first thing that popped into my mind was an Epi Casino.

That is an extremely beautiful guitar, and more than worth the price!

I'd prolly get an Atomic Brain. Or maybe add the $500 to a fund to get a G6120 RHH.

Your guitar stable looks pretty good. How are you on amps/pedals ect?

USA Fender Blues DeVille 4x10 and Marshall C5. I really don't use pedals much. I have Boss CS3 and Looper. RAT distortion. I really only play clean channel though. Always open to amp suggestions. Love that new Vox TV4C1(?). I like different and unique a lot.

Sounds like you need an acoustic to me. I'd take a hard look at the Epiphone Masterbilt line or the Yamaha LL line. Both are handmade, all solid wood (most models). This guitar is being blown out at $499 in the US right now. Still in the $750 range in Canada. They're sold out at MF but still available at some other retailers. Here it is:

Either one of those or the Guild D-125. All solid mahogany. Gorgeous.

They're all in your $500 range.

You might look for a used Taylor 200-300 series. Thise can be had for that price range if you look around. They are great guitars for the money.

What are used Fender Pawn Shop series guitars going for? Where are the Fender Classic player guitars made?

I had ordered a Vox ac4tvh and cab but they back ordered it by a couple months. I think that's the amp you're referring to? I switched my order to a Fender Super Champ x2hd and cab. Comes in at $500Canadian pre tx and shipping. You might find one for less where you are. Or you can get the combo under $500. That Vox does sound good though.

I was wrong, it is called the Vox AC4C1. These just look pretty sweet to me!

I'm selling a semi hollow pearloid Italia Rimini w/ Surf 90s for about that +shipping. If you like twang and bling it is worth looking at in the for sale section.
