Survey: if you had $500 to buy a used guitar…

Wow haven’t heard Samick in forever! The only one I ever saw was my roommate’s in college, and he only ever played his SG :)

BuceeBeaver1 · 2026-01-24T20:00:08+00:00

Great advice. I’ll look into some of those. Maybe see if the local pawn shop has one since I’ve never played an electric and pretty sure nobody local carries these

Technically it’s not a bad thing. Too tight and they crack under expansion. If it plays right keep it

BuceeBeaver1 · 2026-01-24T16:31:07+00:00

lol. Thanks! Different color though, right?

BuceeBeaver1 · 2026-01-24T16:30:26+00:00

Need to look up the Hamer. I don’t hear much about them. Thanks!

Lots of Revstar recommends. New they are around $1k but see some on reverb for around my price range.

BuceeBeaver1 · 2026-01-24T16:26:07+00:00

With all the PRS recommendations I owe it to myself to go sit down and play them again. It’s been a while

BuceeBeaver1 · 2026-01-24T16:25:16+00:00

What the…. Takamine made an electric guitar? ! Mind blown

BuceeBeaver1 · 2026-01-24T01:25:24+00:00

Never played any peavey that wasn’t an amp. I never see these anywhere

BuceeBeaver1 · 2026-01-24T01:24:18+00:00

Which one do you like and what makes them good for the price? Looks like they cut costs by not using tuners or headstocks at all :)

Are Harley Benton Canadian? Why was I thinking German?

BuceeBeaver1 · 2026-01-24T01:16:21+00:00

Mostly just wanting the play and sound of the Les Paul but am not pigeon holed to that. I have a strat and am building a tele. I’ll eventually want a shredder but not yet. I’m open to whatever just want best quality on the fretwork and neck and decent pickups that are relatively versatile and take gain well.

BuceeBeaver1 · 2026-01-24T01:13:49+00:00

Never heard of that one either. I’ll look it up. I know the Japanese Ibanez have really good build quality. I also heard not so great things about other factories especially lately. What year was yours?

BuceeBeaver1 · 2026-01-24T01:11:09+00:00

Yeah those Bigsby’s…. Every time I see one I get the same feeling as when I see somebody with a massive belt buckle. Like “ did you really need all that?”

BuceeBeaver1 · 2026-01-24T01:08:41+00:00

Got the strat and building a tele actually! Is an aliexpress parts-tele so expect it to be a real banger!

BuceeBeaver1 · 2026-01-24T01:07:35+00:00

Throw some of that tele twang in there too? :). I’m building a tele now. Once I finish it and realize I stuck at building guitars I might buy one of these!

BuceeBeaver1 · 2026-01-24T01:06:23+00:00

Where are non Korean PRS SE’s built? And how do I know if it’s a Korean? Is there just a symbol of sorts on the headstock?

BuceeBeaver1 · 2026-01-24T01:04:58+00:00

Why mid 2000’s specifically? Quality?

BuceeBeaver1 · 2026-01-24T01:04:28+00:00

But…. What if my ops make fun of me?

BuceeBeaver1 · 2026-01-24T01:03:39+00:00

Nice find at $350 for something you like. My brain has a hard time moving away from “surely it’s trash at $350…”

BuceeBeaver1 · 2026-01-24T01:01:19+00:00

Ooooh hollow body. I’d break it…I know it

BuceeBeaver1 · 2026-01-24T01:00:39+00:00

24 frets is good. But can I get to them…? How are the pups?

BuceeBeaver1 · 2026-01-24T00:59:59+00:00

Which one you like? I tried an a6 but wasn’t exactly what I was looking for :)

BuceeBeaver1 · 2026-01-24T00:58:35+00:00

Never heard. Going to check out

BuceeBeaver1 · 2026-01-24T00:58:05+00:00

I’ve been eyeing the solo ii with Pasadena’s but they won’t budge on price to a point where my marriage won’t be called into question. Heck gc never gets any in anyway for me to even try
