I got an '87 Jem FP for $600.00.
sadly I couldn't keep it, but the profit eroded the sting of selling her.
Seriously one of the better examples of an FP, too.

got a Samick (don't laugh just yet) strat, designed by Valley Arts for 86 bucks with a hard case. the thing is in flawless condition. The one mod that was done was a Dimarzio fast track was installed in the bridge with a coil tap.

the guitar plays awesome!

Recently got a mint '92 RG570 for $200. Then, last week, I purchased a mint '83 (possibly '84) Kramer Focus 3000 with an Schaller OFR for $100. Both came with customized hard cases.

I got a '64 SG Special as a gift after I started playing. It was given to me by a friend of my father's. He was the second owner, had acquired it in the '60s after it had been pretty heavily modded (T-top humbuckers, wraparound tailpiece, Grovers) but then he got into flamenco and jazz and it sat in his closet for many years. When I started playing, he flew in from Chicago and gave it to me.

Closest thing to that would be the 7620 I scored for $175 or a USA Hamer Scarab for $200.
