Your Favorite Guitar Under $150

I have a couple good ones in that range. My Indonesian Squier strat,beats any stock MIM I've ever played... got it for $100. My SX Callisto Jr. plays and sounds much better than any $139 guitar has the right to. Not sure if this counts, but I only have about $50 invested in my latest build... the rest of the stuff I had laying around...

After swapping the neck for one from a Squier strat and modding the neck pickup this 99 buck Douglas tele is one of my favorites.

The original neck was fine I just disliked the flat fingerboard radius.

I vote the Epiphone LP Special with P-90's.

For $129 beans this one isn't bad at all

I really like that, these Indonesian made Epi's I think are actually pretty good.

I have a red one with humbuckers, I got it before they came out with the p90 verison or I would've got that..oh well.

YOurs looks great though.

I've got a ton in this range, initially i have kind of a toss up between these 2:

 

$100 Highlander Spalted Les Paul with a SD P-Rail and a GFS neck p90.

or $109 my keith richards esque SX tele. BG T90 bridge and GFS alnico 2 neck

Thanks. This one is Chinese made, plant #13 - not sure which plant that would be either.

but the neck is fantastic.

How do they even make money on these? What steps are skipped in production or what part that are cheaper than cheap? I have played a few of those LP J.r's with p90's, and even tine I do, I damn near buy one. I have spent more than that on a tuner in the olden days.

1990 Yamaha 521 - $49.99 - what an amazing sounding strat with unequaled access to upper frets without neck pup position compromise.

 

 

Dang! That's a steal. I got mine for $75. And I agree - amazing guitar.

 

So I bought a 921 for $125, and they are both great. One w/ a floyd and one without..
