Welp, I did it. I bought an electric guitar. Superstrat body. Pointy headstock. Seven strings. 25.5" scale, 24 frets, Floyd Rose tremolo. Metallic red body and headstock, dark natural finish fretboard, dot inlays, black hardware.

HSH pickups, five-way switch, master tone and volume, coil-tap push-pull. Basswood body, rosewood fingerboard, bolt-on maple neck. Vintage circa 1999. Used, "good condition". Ad photos look great. Two hundred bucks. I'll post pictures and more details after it gets here.

srsly, though, what'd you get? And do you have both an acoustic and an electric, or just one?

...and it looks like I maybe did OK. I think maybe it wasn't actually $2k but more like $1,500? Not quite sure. Appears market price is now ~ $3,400? Sweet.

the way I spent that much money on a guitar, as a beginner, is that I was taking everything off the wall in the $200 range, playing it, putting it back. Decent, but not amazing. Then I went to the $400 wall. Much better. ...and I kept coming back to this one $400 one....

Finally took it to the counter. "Oh, this isn't a $400 guitar - this is from the 'rare and collectible' wall - see the red tag? Someone must have put it back in the wrong place." me: :(

yeah, $2k is the price of entry for a very sweet tool in any hobby wood turning lathe? check Bridgeport mill? check printing press (with accessories)? check limited edition Reverend Horton Heat axe? check
