Members happy-man Posted August 11, 2008 Members Share Posted August 11, 2008 I just snagged another Yamaha on eBay (a F-325), and the last one I bought, a F-335, hasn't even arrived yet! Got them for a price that I can resell them and not lose (if I do it locally and don't ship). I wanted to replace my keep-at-work Samick with a Yammie. I got the Samick for $50, and a guy at work told me Friday he'd give me $80 for it. That will save me a craigslist ad. I'll keep the better of the 2 Yamahas (one black, one natural) and sell the other. Get to practice more set up work! I've even got a bone saddle blank sitting around.

Members zenbu Posted August 11, 2008 Members Share Posted August 11, 2008 cheap in price doesn`t always translate to cheap in quality, just that sometimes people aren`t aware of whats right under their noses `cause they`re so busy following the herd.

Members boxorox Posted August 12, 2008 Members Share Posted August 12, 2008 I am a big fan of cheapos and oddballs. Playing a '60 Harmony Sovreign right now. I think the appeal is that expensive guitars are supposed to sound good, so when a cheap one sets up to play well and sounds good to boot, it's a pleasant surprise. I think it also confuses the snobs, and that's always worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Krash Posted August 12, 2008 Members Share Posted August 12, 2008 My #1 is my Harmony Sovereign 1260 - my first guitar, bought in '69. Needs a neck reset, but still has its beautiful voice. Scott - take the crappy pickguard off that black Yammie! You won't believe how pretty it looks without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
