Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

LOL I, on the other hand, love playing with new gear. I enjoy the experience of a new guitar, a new pedal, or even just new strings. I love the smell of a new guitar. I love everything about it.

I want to have a guitar for every possible situation I can reasonably come up with. I like having interesting guitars. I also like to have nice things. I want my guitars to be in damned near pristine condition - not so that I can keep them that way but so that I can rely on them when I play them.

That and, man, you can buy a perfectly usable guitar for under $200. Who knew? Even a decade ago, a $200 guitar was pretty much useless. Today? There are a ton of awesome guitars in the Under $300 category amd a bunch under $200.

Oh, and current affairs are going to raise guitar prices. It's inevitable. Shipping costs are going through the roof. If you're gonna buy a new cheap guitar, such as an IYV, then you might want to do it sooner than later.

Robots make better employees for manufacturing things cheap than people, they are just so much more consistent

I dunno if that's really true. My $200 CNC made guitar isn't nearly as good as my $3000 Les Paul.

But, it's one hell of a steal for just $200... There's sure as fuck not $2800 worth of difference between them. If I had to place a comparative value, I'd say the $200 guitar plays about as well as a $600 to $800 guitar.

And, I know you have a pick punch. You can actually order the material and make your own picks of celluloid or even nylon. I just happened to bump into someone selling the raw materials on Alibaba.

I did order this:

I bought a pack of a hundred picks years ago, and I managed to lose them all within a month. I lose guitar picks like there is a pick fairy following me around stealing them.
