How cheap? Somehting like an RG350 would be a good choice

My vote has to go to any of the PRS SE's, absolutely awesome necks. Everything about them belies their price range by at least a couple hundred.

The OLP models are always good for the money, the Yamaha Pacifica range is always very good too.

how cheap does it have to be and what kind of style guitar are you looking for?
well I would go with something like a Yamaha Pacifica 112. either that or something by Vintage, I played some of the Vintage strat and les paul copies recently and I thought they very good quality guitars.

+1 on the inexpensive Yamaha. RGX-A2 can be picked up cheap, and the Pacifica's are great for the money.

Will they let you keep the guitar with you? I was in the Army here, and during basic training they take all your belongings away from you (clothes and everything). I don't think they'll even let you take a guitar here.

Well as cheap as possible.. i just need a playable guitar for practise.. ! Here the army is 2 years because half Cyprus is under the Turkish .:O Well they let u bring ur stuff and guitars..

My vote's against that. I tried several of these, and, personally HATED them. I mean, I played crap-cheap guitars, back in the 80s, that played as good or better than these. I thought the necks were an absolute joke. Bummer, too, cause I really wanted to like them, but just couldn't bring myself to.
