your favorite cheap guitars/basses

[WeHuntKings]

so, i want another guitar to have in standard tuning that's not a strat. what are some favorites around here in the 200ish range?

[mathias]

Squier Tele?

[Scruffie]

Squier Tele?

Second that, the new(ish) Customs are lovely guitars for the cost.

[mathias]

And for 60ish more bucks, check out the Squier VM Jazzy and VM Jag!

[devnulljp]

CV Tele is good.

[Helter]

I'm going to fourth those cv teles.

[Greenfuz]

some kind of kay/silvertone thing with goldfoils

[Gone Fission]

Used Godin. I'd also say use Fernandes Strat-clone if you hadn't said no Strats. (Their Tele clones don't show up often.)

[mathias]

Maybe a decent Les Paul clone from Rondo can be had around $300 IIRC? Not the super-cheap Les Pauls they sell, the midline ones.

[Noise...]

The new Squier VMs. Mine have taken over for MIMs, CP's, and even CIJ's. GET FOUR.

If you were willing to spend a bit more, you could look for a peavey t-60.
I've seen them go for $350ish with a hardshell.
Maybe look for a roughed up one without a case?

i used to have a t-15. it fucking ruled.

Rad.

I have to the say everyone is right about the squier tv telecaster though.
Pretty fantastic.

[ryan summit]

if your lookin SG route(im sure they make other styles)
im very happy with my samick greg bennet tr-2
you can get em under 2 hundy all day long
i think i might have overpaid at $175
but the quality far surpasses epiphones at the same price
and a hunder dollah teisco/kay/s-tone is buttloads of fun

I dug the T60 I had, would have probably swapped out the pickups as they weren't quite my cup of tea, but that was the heaviest most solid guitar I've ever played
