Outta my way Fender fucking shits



um excuse me sir I have a

MOTHER FUCKING LES PAUL
Don't you have an Epiphone one tho? Which is like the Squire of Gibsons.
Gibson may sometimes use Epi like an entry level brand, but if I remember right, they were a brand before Gibson and some of their stuff is top quality for affordable production guitars without a massive name upcharge.

What is the price rage for Gibson's?
Mine was about 1500, but I got it for about 1200 because the guys at Sam Ash like me and my sparkling personality.

Personally, I think anything about 2000 is overpriced.

Are any of them mommies, Jim?

JK.

Nah that's cool though. I'm glad you got a deal, and I agree. Unless you have billions, it isn't worth spending $2000.

I would willingly pay the upwards of $5,800 for a Motor Ave.

They start at $4,850 but they have a lot of add-ons that can make it get way more expensive. If I could get it the way I want it, it would be in the $6,000 range.

I probably wouldn't even consider dropping that much unless I was middle class with a really well paying job. Or if I chose the path to being a professional musician and work my way up in the music industry or something like that, but that's also rare luck.

Temp revival.

http://shop.fender.com/en-US/electric-guitars/stratocaster/american-standard-stratocaster/product-011300.html

Planning on saving up and buying one of these babies as a permanent high quality guitar years down the road with 3 color sunburst and a maple fretboard instead of rosewood. Right now I'm still using my starter, I did research and eventually I am going to want a much more expensive and higher quality guitar since the one I have has much cheaper hardware and is made in china. Some even considered mine to be a "kids toy" and that this one or even a Squire are better guitars overall.

I stick with Fender strats because its my all time favorite design and sound.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.

Another option to maybe consider then is a G&L Legacy. Leo Fender made G&L in the 70's after selling Fender to whoever it was that purchased the brand.
Literally a strat with some different hardware options.

It's okay to have a sound that you're aiming for, but don't exactly limit yourself too narrow this early.

I see. Well with my current guitar I'm able to get the sound I want out of it and it is functional, but I will keep my options open. I may consider that if the Strat doesn't cut it. I'd definitely need to demo both guitars to see what I'd want later on.

Damn. They really do put a lot of work into making these Strats. No wonder why they're so fucking expensive.

Wasn't too much actually. Just around $600. Got it from a pretty lowkey guitar shop just outside of Sydney.

If its a great quality guitar, hold onto that for decades. You might be able to sell it for a higher price later on. The Fender USA Stratocasters, very first ones made in 1954, the ones in the best condition ever sell as high as $79,000.

Huh. I didn't know Ibanez made acoustic guitars.
