Members Burgess Posted February 12, 2009 Members Share Posted February 12, 2009 Mark, do you remember what you paid for this Raven West Tele?Did you leave it stock, or have you modded? BK, I'm looking to see if I still have a receipt for that axe but if you know me you know I didn't pay a lot for it, and you know me. That thing is dead stock and will probably stay that way. Of all my guitar there's only three I gig with stock, the two Gibbies and that Tele copy. Best of all, the new Peavey halfstack I just got really works great with P90's. That guitar smokes through it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Toadroller Posted February 12, 2009 Members Share Posted February 12, 2009 More cheapies: Kramer NightRider - it's LP sized with a 25.5" scale 6 on a side set neck I had one of those- amber fade with the floyd on it. I've learned a lot about setup since then and if I still had it, I'd adjust correctly and keep. Had pull-taps on bridge and neck, if I remember right... But it's gone. I don't know how I missed this thread. Here's my contribution to keeping cheap guitars cheap.MusicYo Kramer Striker 4-2-2 with stop tail, was probably 185-200 new Headstock in the middle there:Music Yo Kramer Focus 2-1-1 with replaced neck (mighty-mite, ebony board, 9.5 radius), GFS Boston Blues, mint green pick guard and planet waves locking/trimming tuners. 75 + + + + = $350, but now it's decent. We learn:Ibanez Roadstar 2 rs135 with maple 1 piece neck ftw! Their cheapest model, but a good strat clone. 195 delivered in great condition with a decent gig bag:Xaviere XV-800 Amber burst. Love the color, love the pups, fighting the neck since day one. Considering a replacement neck in more traditional tele radius and vintage frets. I learned a lot about guitars from this one, especially with the traditional tele difference between bridge, neck, and both together. The tone and volume pots have a good sweep to them as well. $180. Photo was during a fret leveling that frankly didn't help much.Bang for the buck champion: Neslonic Starliner Series LP copy. Sure, it's got a bolt on neck, (??) but that aside, it's a quality guitar. Fit and finish to put Epiphones to shame. I paid $149 plus tax used. Turns out they were $149 when new back at the turn of the millenium. I've been scouring for two years and have seen only 2 others come up. Impressive:And my new number one, whose honeymoon has lasted since christmas, which might be on the edge of this thread's qualification list, a Hamer XT Goldtop P90. This was delivered just before christmas, express, with a TKL hardshell case for $300 even. Chinese, but proudly carrying the Hamer tradition- fantastic fit and finish, thick neck (which I find myself loving), good tuners, great fretwork and playability, lightest guitar I have (even among the strats and teles), mahogany, maple cap, mahogany neck. It might be chambered- almost has to be it's so light. And of course P90s ftw. Are they the greatest P90s? Naw, they're Hamer branded, who knows what. But they'll get swapped for the real deal at some point. Still learning what P90s can do and enjoying every minute of it. Here's my boy Jack striking a pose with it that reminds me of American Gothic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members katillac Posted February 14, 2009 Members Share Posted February 14, 2009 Thanks for the link, Burgess. I was just curious what guitar that is. I don't know why, but certain shades of orange really appeal to me. The gradients on that guitar are pure sex. Muddslide, no worries! I really appreciate your looking too. You're always really helpful to me! A friend PMd me earlier with an offer I couldn't refuse - a FREE guitar. I talked him into letting me at least pay for shipping. It's a pretty cool cheapie and should make for a great carry-around guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Loudog99 Posted February 19, 2009 Members Share Posted February 19, 2009 I wanted to post updated pics of my SX Ash Tele and Strat. These were recently refinished and completely upgraded with new nuts, electronics, steel saddles, GFS pickups, GFS string trees, and Wilk EZ lock tuners on the strat. I leveled and polished the frets on both as well.I have about $200 in each of these and they are amazing.Ash StratAsh TeleSquier '51- An old friend that I stupidly sold last year.Another old friend that I sold off.All of these are GREAT guitars- not "for the money". Just plain great.Lou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
