Members poderoso Posted March 14, 2012 Members Share Posted March 14, 2012 I just thought this would be a fun thread. You can consider used prices, lets say you already have 9v batteries, patch cables, etc. But you need to buy a guitar, an amp and maybe a pedal or two. And this is something you would gig with, considering that if you get a low watt amp it would be mic'd. What would you get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members PunkKitty Posted March 14, 2012 Members Share Posted March 14, 2012 SX Tele. $90-$130 before mods.Fender Super Champ XD. With the money left over you should be able to get a nice set of pickups and a new set of tuners for the SX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kit_strong Posted March 14, 2012 Members Share Posted March 14, 2012 I'd wait for a 15% off coupon and snag Vintage Modified Strat for $249 and a Kustom Defender 15 Combo $550 before coupon but easy enough to get down under $500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members WRGKMC Posted March 14, 2012 Members Share Posted March 14, 2012 I surely wouldnt buy new. I'd likley try EBay, Cragslist or pawn shops and buydecent gear at half the cost of new. Otherwise you wind up having to upgrade toplay out with and spending twice as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PunkKitty Posted March 14, 2012 Members Share Posted March 14, 2012 i noticed people really dig the SX teles. How are those compared to Squier CV teles?I really don't have much experience with a CV Tele. But I love the nice chunky neck on my SX. It's a very well made guitar. It's my favorite Tele. The rest of my guitars are Gibson, Carvin, Heritage, Ibanez Artcores, and Epiphone Dots. That should tell you something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members d_dave_c Posted March 14, 2012 Members Share Posted March 14, 2012 Amp $250-300: Crate VC30, Peavey Classic 30, Crate Stealth, Peavey Triumph, Peavey Prowler Guitar $100-150: Peavey USA or Yamaha - always can score a better than decent guitar for that. Pedals: used Dan-o tuner, Used Digitech distortion factory (usable OD, dist and fuzz), used digitech digidelay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Reverse Entropy Posted March 14, 2012 Members Share Posted March 14, 2012 Pawn shop guitar and amp, probably. But definitely used. I'd build the rig around a good distortion box. I recently saw a used Radial Hot British for $130 so let's start with that. That leaves around $250 for a guitar and $120 for an amp. I'd look for a used Ibanez like a Talman 420, or a Made-In-Mexico Tele (because a cheap Tele has more rock growl than a cheap Strat does), or an SG clone. You might find an older Charvel shred-machine in that range, or a decent Jackson shredder. The amp is going to be a compromise. But the much-unloved Peavey Bandit from the red-stripe series or it's slightly smaller 1x12 cousin (Studio-something ?) are actually decent little amps. You might score one of those to start - eventually change the speaker to something good, and it's a perfectly gig-worthy amp. I haven't been a big fan of the cheap Fenders with the plastic input jacks. They get loose within 6 months and go goofy. But get something with a big heavy power supply, and a 12" speaker (so you can upgrade the cheap thing later ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kit_strong Posted March 14, 2012 Members Share Posted March 14, 2012 Well, if we want to throw used or other good deals in the mix then my guitar would be one of the following:Epi 56 LP tribute (paid $250 with hard case)Malden Karma: (paid $220)Malden Bulldozer (paid $220) The amp would still be a Kustom Defender. I think that's one of the most overlooked amps on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
