It's true, I have never bought a new guitar!!! I actually own a LAG custom (french luthier, close to Vigier guitars) a Steinberger I have bought for practically nothing, and that I have midified with a used GK2A, an Epiphone Emperor I have bought for half its price...

I encourage anyone who knows some things about guitar buying to look around in pawn shops... It's full of gems (musicians sometimes need money, sad but true...)
