Lets see those Beater /Junk guitars that you keep around.
I have a Magnum LP copy Ive had since 1976. It's a bolt neck and looks like a Natural finished LP Custom.
What a mess this thing was. Stock it had absolute crap hardware and p'ups that didnt even have bobbins. The neck pocket had about a 1/16" gap when lined up. My parents spent $350 for it and the sales guy totally lied and screwed them. For another $150 they could have got a Gibson Standard at the time but this guy swore these were "as good". The following couple of years we spent another $200 to have proper hardware installed and relocated(original hardware was mounted way off center). Its still a beater and is inconsistent at times but finally plays and sounds half decent. What a joke this thing was though. And apparently was produced in Japan by Matsuko or Fuji Gen. It does have a ebony board though. LOL... http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/9291/dscn6412nt6.jpg |

This is my beaterest guitar. Bought for a Benjamin off a buddy who needed funds to finish a recording. He'd lent it to his son, who "Townshended" it onstage. Several places where bare wood is showing, but with a new nut and new control knobs (he'd put green glow-in-the-dark knobs on it!) it's not bad. He also turned a toploader into a string-through very crudely, with a hand drill (no string ferrules) and a piece of metal for a backplate to secure the string ball-ends.

Still a fun guitar to play and I can throw her around with abandon knowing she'll come back for more. |
