The Official Guitar/Gear Buyers Guide

[mangold]

Lets face it folks... atleast half of the posts in this forum go along the lines of "i want the best this for this price" the answers are always more or less the same. So this thread will be devoted to listing suggested brands and models of guitars or gear for a specific price range. This will make browsing the approved brands and models of gear easier for patrons to this area of the forum. And please, only post a product if you have played it exstensively and believe it to be the best of the best. Be prepared to defend your opinions. Please try to include links to pictures with the products. I will update the list daily. The ranking will be based on sale price not MSRP, no one ever pays that much.

Format: (Brand, Model, Price (US dollars))
