It is awesome to have something to be excited for. Has you package with the first cheapo arrive yet?

[–] • 0 pt

Nope. It's supposed to be here tomorrow.

I haven't been this excited for a new guitar in a long time - and I've bought guitars in the 5 figure range in that time. Shit, the last 'big' buy included a '65 SG that was nearly six figures.

And, here I am excited over a guitar and amp that, together, cost less than $280 total... More excited, even...

I think it might be that I have all sorts of expensive guitars.

I do have some cheap guitars - but most of those were from my original collection, before I retired. And, for the sake of clarity, I considered a $400 Ibanez to be cheap. I have some Epiphone and some Squire type guitars.

It might also be that I can build out a collection of cheap guitars - keeping them as their own sort of collection - for not a whole lot of money. I've already started shopping for my next cheap guitar - but I'm going to force myself to wait a while.

A $400 Ibanez is cheap compared to most the high end guitars that go for $4000

Indeed! They also used to be cheaper - and less well made.

Today, a $200 guitar is (as far as I know - I haven't personally tested it) at least as good as a $600 Ibanez was back in the year 2000.

I keep looking and finding absurdly cheap gear that's supposed to be playable. I'm eager to learn if it is.
