**** INTRO ****

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.

Yeah, it's like a 'frequently covered subject' in the genre.

I'm still working on my "cheap guitar" project and picked up a Washburn acoustic at a lovely price.

Very cool. I've decided to buy myself a cheap les paul knock-off for Christmas this year.

I highly, highly recommend IYV for the money - but they are "IVY" on Amazon. I fuckin' love mine - for the price.

Man, I wish they'd had great guitars at these prices when I was still learning. You can seriously get a playable guitar for not a whole lot of money. As in, under $200 is easy to find.

$200 today was $1500 in 1973 according to BLS. That actually seems pretty accurate. My $200 Yamaha GC would be about $1500 today, maybe a bit more. And Yamaha wasn't even a very established brand at the time.

There were no playable guitars for $32 in 1970, outside of the used market. Plus, I was a couple of years earlier than that. I just picked an easy year to adjust for.

Yeah I was lookin' at the Ivy emerald green les paul on amazon. There are a couple videos there as well.
