Somebody gives you 400 dollars for a guitar, so you buy?...

[MusicMan7]

Title says it all, what would you buy if you had 400 dollars to spend on a guitar? It can be new or used. Single coils, or humbuckers, it doesn't really matter. I think it'll be interesting to see what comes up.

[rockinlespaul]

Probably a new or used Melody Maker or use it as a downpayment on something nice.

[Ken Ho]

2 kg of king prawns, and a new ski jacket.

[clay49]

Used PRS SE ONE or black Agile AL-3100

[Stinky Kitty]

Samick TV Twenty w/ vintage tremolo.

[RichieD]

A used Fender Strat.

[uOpt]

Some of the lower end model Greco or Burny Les Pauls can be had for $400, if you are lucky.

Random Warmoth builds that came out ugly.

For Strat style, an old Ibanez Blazer or some of the Roadstar models and a set of SSL-1s.

[jcmark611]

A BK Butler Tube Driver.

[Broken Cord]

MIM Strat or Tele.

[Bluesbuff]

PRS SE , chose the model you like, great value

[Boris Bubbanov]

Find one of these close-out Classic Player Bajas for $ 399, at the center of evil, GC. They are still out there, here and there, mostly in areas of the country where the economy is hurting most.

[gkoelling]

A sweet MIM Tele.

A used MIM Robert Cray Strat

A used J. Vaughan Strat

I've been dying for a pointy guitar lately. Possibly something from Rondo - there's a budget neck-through Douglas w/ floyd that's done caught my eye.

If you look around used, you too could pick up an Ibanez AS73 semi-hollow. I got mine from a noted amp builder here with WCR pickups, RS electronics and a HSC shipped for $375 that plays amazing for the price point. Just sayin'.
