Douglas Hawker = $169.00 (plan to upgrade soon but a good platform to start)

I have spent alot of dough in the past on a couple of Gibby lps, as well as some Jacksons, Fenders, and other big names. I can tell you that the Greco plays and sounds as good if not better than all of them. I'm done spending a small fortune on so called "high end" guitars. Don't get me wrong though, i would love to have a Gibson VOS someday.

Michael Kelly Valor Custom
Price paid $400 brand new
Im in the process of upgrading the bridge (IMO) to Schaller, installing a bone nut, GFS Power Rails (zebra) in the bridge, slapping on some EB 12-56's, and full setup.

Man, these pics are awful...sorry.:cop:

I bought this new production Kramer brand new for $235.
I think they are $269 now.

Incredible guitar for the money.
Best looking flamed top of any low end guitar I have seen.
Alder body, Licensed Floyd Rose that feels as good as my Floyd Pro's.
Pickups all go single when Tone knob is pulled.
Is one of the better sustaining bolt on neck guitars I have ever played.
