**** INTRO ****

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.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

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

Yeah, it's like a 'frequently covered subject' in the genre.

I'm still working on my "cheap guitar" project and picked up a Washburn acoustic at a lovely price.

Very cool. I've decided to buy myself a cheap les paul knock-off for Christmas this year.

I highly, highly recommend IYV for the money - but they are "IVY" on Amazon. I fuckin' love mine - for the price.

Man, I wish they'd had great guitars at these prices when I was still learning. You can seriously get a playable guitar for not a whole lot of money. As in, under $200 is easy to find.

$200 today was $1500 in 1973 according to BLS. That actually seems pretty accurate. My $200 Yamaha GC would be about $1500 today, maybe a bit more. And Yamaha wasn't even a very established brand at the time.

There were no playable guitars for $32 in 1970, outside of the used market. Plus, I was a couple of years earlier than that. I just picked an easy year to adjust for.

Yeah I was lookin' at the Ivy emerald green les paul on amazon. There are a couple videos there as well.
