by saying crap.. i didn't necessarily mean crap.. my guitar isn't crap, it sounds great for how cheap it was, i just meant if anyone had a guitar that didn't cost a whole lot

I have a fairly decent, but fundamentally cheap acoustic. It's a Crestwood six-string acoustic that a got for only $90, which was over $100 off due to my connections with the owner of a piano repair shop. It's good for practicing which I do all the time, and it was the guitar that really got me addicted to the instrument. My 1st guitar was a Peavey Raptor electric that I gt over two year s ago and I now have a black Fender Strat as well. Eventually, I'd like to pick up one of those Ibanez Artwoods or more unrealistically, a Taylor, Martin, or Gibson.

yeah, Ibanez is prolly a good way to go for the next step. that or a low/mid range Martin. can't get a Taylor for much less then a $1000 unless its a big baby. but you get like a Martin D-15 or D1 or something for like 600 or 700. I can't see me getting a Taylor because I think they cost too much, but what I really want is a Martin HD-28 but they run for about $2000 retail. maybe I can get a deal somewhere.

I was in a guitar store, and saw a really really really bad epiphone for $75 (CDN) so I bought it.

It's the worst guitar ever, and yet..

I like it more than my Yamaha (guh, that was a mistake.. big waste of money).

And now, it's time to save up for something better (but I haven't decided yet).

because if you wanted to play guitar while jet skiing, you might be able to get a discount.

i play an old yamaha sj-180, which i bought off of one of my friends for 75 dollars before i ever had any clue about anything related to guitars... it was a GREAT pickup, everyone that plays it is absolutely stunned when i tell them it cost me 75 bucks... what i really want is a taylor 710 or a Martin Paul Simon model

Its not always about the guitar , but the person who plays it that counts , the worlds most beautiful sounding guitar will sound like shit if its played wrong , just as well as a cheap ass 1$ guitar would sound pretty good if its played right .... If people haven't seen what you're playing , and if it sounds good , then they'll ask for your setup right away , and they will be even more shocked when you tell them lol , trust me i've tried it :lol:

I have a Johnson that is royal blue, that cost between $80 and $100. I've been playing on it for 2 and half years now. It sounds pretty good, if you don't jam pretty hard on it. strings start buzzing then. I'm looking to get something new though.
I also have a Takamine classical/electric EG255C I'm about to sell. Anybody interested?
