yeah, i've heard of em. pawn shops try to gyp you though if it's a brand named guitar like (gibson,ibanez,fender,or jackson or any guitar known for it's name. They feel that cause they have those names they can price them at any number they wan't to. I went into a pawn shop and they were trying to sell a Fender Mexican Strat for $700 that's ridiculous. i can shop around and get an american fully loaded for that much. And they try to sell the subsidiary companies like(fender-squier, gibson-epiphone,jackson-charvel etc.. for the same price as the original company. The only time you can get good deals at pawn shops is if you go to the ghetto or any are that has a lot of crime and drugs you can go in there and basically name your price or tell em how much money you've got. my mother's friend got a Gibson Les paul Standard Flamed like hell for $400. gtg
