Post by borocks »

A friend of mine wants to sell his electric guitar.
It's a Stratocaster.

Random movie quote to make you seem hip and "with it": I'm thinking about getting metal legs. It's a risky operation, but it'll be worth it.

What if hes just giving him bro hookups on an american made strat?

Anyway Bo, find out exactly what kind of strat it is. You could be getting a great deal, or you could be buying a turd.

no one, and i repeat NO ONE is dumb enough to sell an american made strat for $80. its like a $700 sale priced guitar. even saying its mexican is a stretch.

I dont know about that...the only reason I bring it up is because my roommate just bought a 2 year old american strat from his GOOD friend, who has like 10 electrics alone, for $120. And that included a wah pedal. This was last month. I know youre not going to get that kinda deal at a store...but yeah.

If I ever own a squire, I would be using it for target practice with my missle launcher. I wouldn't even pay 80 bucks for a target practice squire. If it's a squire, don't get it, they are horrible.

I wouldn't buy a fender just because I plain out don't like fenders..
Now if someone offered me a Gibson LP for 80 bucks i'd sell my room out for awhile to get the cash for it...
