Gorecki Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Other, list is too limited. Lower end Ibanez are great values. But the BEST value I've ever got was my New York Pro strat copy. Paid $52.00 New! Had to replace the nut instantly, otherwise it's better then the Fender MexiStrat I use for a MIDI controller I paid 10x for.

Jester700 Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 "Value" depends on individual needs... You can get an Agile from Rondo or a Yamaha Pacifica and have a decent, playable axe for a couple hundred. You can get a USA made guitar from Carvin that isn't quite custom but gives you LOTS of options for under a grand. And the overall quality is as good as most axes twice the price, IMO. (this is who I'd vote for, BTW, if I HAD to vote - it should be in the poll). Or you can play hundreds of guitars and find one that "speaks to you" and buy it, whatever the price; if a guitar does that it'll motivate you, and THAT's value, no matter what the overall quality/price ratio is.

deshibs Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Although I am a huge PRS fan and I realy like the Wolfgangs too, I have to say, the best guitar for the least money has got to be the Fender or Gibson. You can get them for $500.00 to $800.00 and have a nice guitar that plays and soungs great. With the Wolfgang it will be minimum ttwice that and the PRS will be 4 times that. I haven't played nor priced a soloist, so I don't know about that one. Deans quality is on the rise, but so is their price tag! Anyway, I for one would consider what tone you are looking for and go from there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otgordin Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Doooooods, I know that I am going to open a can of worms with this, but what about Dillion, Agile, Tokai, etc? They may not have as much name recognition, but a few of the guys at my fraternity have mid range gibsons, fenders, etc. and my dillion 500x outplays them all and looks better than most of them. my 2 cents. -Vadim \m/ [url="http://www.rondomusic.bigstep.com/item.jhtml;$sessionid$UOFCWXQAAA3RRTZENUFZPQWPERWRJPX0?UCIDs=850849%7C940498&PRID=1456585"]Agile Prestige LP[/url] [url="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2384&item=3744048824&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW"]Tokai Love Rock[/url] [url="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2384&item=3744886283&rd=1"]Dillion 1500[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenneth_b Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 Yamaha makes nice guitars, for the money. I played with a guy who had a Mike Stern model, and it was a great axe. I never would have considered one before I saw how nice his guitar was. That said, this is a great time to be a guitar player. There are so many nice, affordable guitars out there. The factories are doing a great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisb0109 Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 I think schecter guitars are the best bang for the buck. There quality seems to outdue guitars even twice their price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_in_Texas Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 best value for the money ??? Agile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xebryusguitars Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 I agree with him, schecters seem to be holding up value like non other, even though commercialized a bit, they still give bang for the buck online the huge coorporations who are a little lost in themselves and green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1nf1d3l Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 jay tursers are supposed to rock, but i LOVE my ibanez Rg421, it plays beautifully. LTds are good too, and i hear epi's are purty good... i broke the squier rule too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyG Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Id have to agree with baretta guy on the Kramer side of things tho i reckon that the striker series has it. i have a striker custom in green with a TOM and as a first guitar i couldnt have asked for anything better. good hardware, good finish, nice to play and damn good price. btw i broke the unwritten rule as well, i refused to have a squier as a first guitar simply on principal. same reason i still cant play stairway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
