Best "Bang for the Buck" Awards

[RVA]

I have been searching the sales and deals rather dillegently at this time of year. I have even been tempted by some rather extravagant purchases. In doing so, I kept having the same thought: "Why would I get that instead of...."

That process is the inspiration for this thread. The idea is to

1. Post the guitars that you think are under-priced, even when priced at their market; and
2. Those guitars that you got at a "steal", purchased for well below their market value.

I will begin on the next post.

For me, it us the Agile LPs. Played stock, they rival guitars 5x their price. With some light work, they will hold their own with any LP out there.

I would trade you for the Vickers.......but ------ this is a sweet little ride.

IMHO anything from the SX guitars line is great quality for dollar spent.
I have owned several and I have yet to get one that wasnt excellent for the money--and often for double or triple the $

Case in point the previous most recent SX Furrian






IT got an ebay scored GRETSCH pup added and sounded amazing as I recal this was a "scratch and dent" special or a "B" stock --- was about 100.00 and --- I'll be damned if I could find the "ding"

Of course the little Epi LP Special One beats all, for the $$/FUN ratio. Presently out the door new for $79 at GC.
Here's mine. It since got a Badass clone adjustable wraparound and Tyson Tone 57 Wraptail P90s. It is still my most played guitar after 4 years.
