Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

I've spent innumerable hours looking lately. It's kinda fun seeing what you can do on a budget - and I've discovered a ton of sites for it.

I've pretty much decided my next purchase will be the Fender Mustang LT-25, but I may wait to go back to Maine before ordering it. I don't really feel lugging the amp around on a plane. It's bad enough that I have to lug a guitar that I could just as easily have a replica sent to my house and waiting for me when I got there. I don't even have a case for it, nor do I have a gig bag for it - as it didn't come with one. Fortunately, I have a Les Paul down here and I'll just use that case to lug it to Maine and leave the one here sitting in a guitar stand.

I was wondering if those cheap guitars came with hard cases. I guess not. I remember when I bought my first guitar back in 1982, the guitar was something like $399 and they wanted another $300 for a case, so I didn't get a case

Most come with a gig bag. but mine did not even come with that.

Hard cases should cost around $135 to $150, depending on where you look. Specialty cases will cost more. A good Gator case can run around $200 - but not much more.

But, most come with at least a cheap gig bag. Mine is a rarity in that it came with no case.

I think it was the music store trying to add some easy profit. But instead they got stuck with the case LoL
