Imagine that, they sell inedible food. I wish McPukes, BurgerK, Wendys and TacoBell would follow suite. The world would be a way better place without them.

NEVER new, worse idea than cars. Old guitars appreciate, new ones depreciate like rocks. My Gibson is worth nearly 300x what my dad paid for it Sorry I did not mean brand new, new to him. I told him we will wait and see. I will match his efforts. I was hoping, but wanted to clarify.

That isn't an investment, but an expense. Adds "no" value.

Actually what is wrong with it is that it is a Yamaha Oh weight, its not a snowmobile. And yes in their case it is not spelled wait.

We talked it over and the boy is going to continue to use his and if he wants to further his playing we are going to look at the Ibanze and Gibson. Thanks for your help and info Sean. Good plan. Not worth putting anything into what he has now Don't shy away from those Jacksons either. There is a reason that Randy Rhoads went from a Les Paul to them Another old favorite of mine would be if you could find an old BC Rich from when they were still handmade here. (pre-1981 or so maybe significantly later, but their "new" stuff is complete crap). Personally I'd run from Fenders but that is because they have the slowest, sloppiest necks on a guitar IMO. For what he wants to play it isn't what he wants. One other note. A wood grain neck >>>> painted neck if you have ANY propensity to sweat. I get SLOPPY on stage, lol.

Better than blaming Jack & Shit

You got the "Did you WIPE?" look?

In particular if she asks you if you shit yourself.

Getting fit is HUGE!

Crap, good luck Ferdinand!!

No problem. IMO a fake strat (or even a real one) is not what he wants for what he plays.

Just make sure the neck is straight and nothing is warped. ie, have his teacher play it

Something like this: http://harrisburg.craigslist.org/msg/2237112881.html or this http://williamsport.craigslist.org/msg/2264105334.html Would be a WAY better way to spend a $100+. Not sure what his is worth used, but those will pretty much always be worth what you pay for them. Take his, sell it, add the pickup money to something else and grab it. *A little more research would be good as it has been more than 20 years since I went guitar shopping. I play an 82 Ibanez and a 56 Gibson. Both are worth more than I paid for them.

Depends on what sort of sound he is after. I personally despise strats, but that doesn't mean anything. What does he have now and why does he want to change them? http://www.staggmusic.com/products/products_detail.php?langue=uk&oneid=400 He plays old rock music. AC/DC, Ozzy stuff. His music teacher suggested it. I will he checking in on my phone today. Needs a humbucker. May be more logical to find a used guitar and sell what he has. Some stellar pieces go cheap from the 80's these days.

I need a new cable box.

A Kevin pre-order? Isn't that like going to Vegas and doubling down on every hand?

Every silvy you see for sale up here with more than120k has a new transmission or rebuily. No idea what they did but I bet they saved a buck where thye shouldn't have

Compromise and a lot of it

Silvy trannies aren't known for lasting, but I wouldn't bother with that swap

That isn't SQ and it isn't cool. Being a social menace is not acceptable.
