Your best bargain?

[6fingers]

In 2004 I bought an ESP M2 de luxe transparent purple with evo bridge and hotrail neck for 700 dollars.
Here it's almost for free cause that kinda guitar usually costs about 2000 dollars.
That dude was trying to marry.
Funny thing is his girlfriend was REALLY ugly and dumb bout music stuff,he probably ended up with no guitar and a monster in his bed LOL

I envy you. I paid a little more than that for a simple AR50. I would have loved a deal like that.

I didn't think Cherry Sunburst was an available option on Artists until '81-'82?

'07 mint Jem 77V for 900€ (about 1290$) not a great bargain, maybe, but I think it's a respectable price for it

P.P.S. (yeah, not a good memory) brand new RG 550 20th DY for 730€ (about 1050$)

Not too gas worthy I know but I picked up a late 90's Jackson Performer super strat for approx US$50. I got it home and beneath the dush and gunk... it was brand new!! sold it again for around US$200

Just recently picked up a dusted and rockstarred 93? RG550 for US$120 all parts there and intact. Now I get the glorious job of restoring it.

Gibson Les Paul Custom Zakk Wylde ... Opened for $ 3000 but I got for $ 1800. I am Chinese-Thai and I know a trick for Chinese traditional. The first day after the come back from Chinese new year holidays.(Gibson dealer in Thailand is Chinese-Thai as well) try to be the first customer in the morning. You can bargain what you want and they will sell it to you, because we believe that we must sell once start the new year and we will have a good business a whole year.

I did many years but last couple of years I moved to the south of Thailand. Now just back to Bangkok again.... Next year I will do it again .. haha

just scored a line6 bass pod pro for au$150.......cant go wrong!!

[psychoshredder]

can't beat any of it, all my guitars were so overpriced because most of them imported from Japan.
I can only call one japanese RG that I brought home for like USD 300, almost perfect dead mint condition + boss pedal + strap + AC adapter.
that was only one time I feel like winning something.

I picked up an 89 rg 550 off of craigslist for 80 bux. It was listed as an ibanez rg. It was white and had the black pickguard. He originally wanted 150 for it. So I called and asked what condition the paint was in and his reply that it was in great shape. I get there and there dings and chips all over the place. There was one huge gouge down to the wood on the corner under the pickquard. I could of got it for 70 dollars but he didnt have change for a 20 so. Took it home, stripped the paint off, painted it road flare red, reshielded the pickup cavities and threw it all back together. Still have it to this day and its the best sounding and playable guitar I own. I would never sell it for anything.
