Both of the cheapest guitars in my collection required a little TLC to get them going...

 

Ibanez RG 320. When I got it, it needed a neck pickup and also had bridge issues.

I dropped in a pair of no-name buckers I had lying around and picked up a couple of screws for the bridge. The previous owner sanded the original finish off and sprayed it with clear, rough job. I've been entertaining the idea of filling in the neck pickup slot and painting it a solid color.

Cost-Guitar, 30 bucks delivered (CL), screws, about 5 bucks.

And my well worn 1991 RG 570. When I got this one, it wasn't producing any sound. Turns out a wire to the volume pot had broken loose.

Took just a few minutes to repair. It was marked at 249.

Cost-50 bucks (plus tax) with OHSC and bar.

My dad's old Goya nylon-string: FREE!

My dad developed arthritis so he gave it to my sister who wanted to learn guitar. She eventually decided she wanted a steel-string and stuck this in a closet. About 12 years later, she asked me if I wanted it, I said sure. Dropped about $100 for repairs and setup and it's been fine ever since.

Right now my lowest buck guitar is my Xavier P Bass. I paid a bit over $200 shipped.

I love this thing.Adler body,maple neck,rosewood board and it sounds great through my low buck Ampeg BA-108.

No photos of the bass,but here is the stock photo from Jay's site.

This is the coolest guitar I have ever seen. If it's not too long of an answer for you, how did you go about creating and finishing it?
