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.

That mustang looks incredible. Congrats and such a good price. I'm still using my Mesa Boogie, bc I just love the raw crunch. I've been playing w/ some new apps and programs but I get tired of having to look up YouTube videos every time I want to create a new sound

My project goal is to see how cheap you can start playing guitar - including pretending I'm a new player and using nothing but cheap gear. It has been a fun project so far.

Pawn shops are my favorite place to look, but I'm so tired of buying 100 dollar or less pieces where the necks are messed up beyond repair. For the price of good necks now, I can buy a great sounding squire. I know, squire... But I do have 2 that sound way better than the models they were based on

Right now, cheap guitars are expensive due to shipping. Just a few months ago, I spent $170 on a Les Paul copy from Vietnam (IYV) and it's absolutely amazing for the price. It required no setup - but the low E intonation was out maybe a cent and a tiny adjustment fixed it. It was only noticeable when using a pretty precise tuner.

But, prices are up right now. So, I'd wait...

I have a ton of "real" equipment, so this playing with the cheap stuff is fun. I've posted pics before, but I have more music gear than many music stores. I have hundreds of guitars collected over the years. (I got lucky and was able to retire early while being financially independent.)

This is all just a fun project for me. I'll likely donate the stuff when I'm done playing around with it.

But, yeah... For now you can still find some cheap guitars on Amazon, but their stock is running low. Squire is a fine brand to play, even to gig with it. The name on t he headstock only matters if you're a collector or have ego issues. What matters is the tone, quality, and your ability to play the damned thing.
