Damn you BGood. I am in...trouble! TV yellow on the way $ 85 shipped!!!!!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.

It will need some routing. I need a place for those deep Seymour Duncans I bought!That's great ! You like trouble, make a living from it don't you ?
You got a great deal. I bought mine 4 years ago for $1 less. You'll thanks me once you start playing it, and you might want to send me one or many guitars you'll put aside, because of that sweet little yellow thing.

Bgood's Epi 61' reissue is the real deal set neck, usually dont see them for under $300.
Love that one.
I agree with the Agiles LPs.
I got my first LP type - an Agile AL-2000 right when they were being discontinued.
$225 + about $16 shipping.
seems to be every bit to rival an Epiphone in the $400-$500 range.
The SX tele had some neck problems and the neck replaced and I just finally got the fret level job right.
I should have sent the first one back, but I just happened to get a stinker.
I think they had no more of the P90 neck, which i didnt want to give up $90 + shipping.
I agree those on sale Epi Special P90 are cheap and good, maybe tuners.
MF does some tasty G&L SDOTD that I think are a steal.
I stole my Squier Jag; they price hiked early this year from $299 to $399.
I saw GC surf green ones for $199 shipped and POUNCED. I know I told this story somewhere earlier this week; old brain doesnt quite remember where, hmmm.

IIRC, I paid AUD $150 for my 1988 Aria Pro 2 bass.
Admittedly the active circuit was fried, and the pots probably need replacing, and someone had turned it into a "punk" bass (thanks, Col. Mustard) by gluing magazine cut-outs all over the body, but I think bang for buck, for an original Japanese built Matsumoto, I got a pretty good deal...
