In one pawn store, they had a unkown shaped guitar. It was tan with red skulls all over it and 1 humbucker. It look really kick ass. So I asked to try it out. Neck ok body not so ok, but the brigde was all rusted the one knob it had would twist for ever, then when you let go would twist back like a spring . I asked the price he said $250. I laughed really hard. Handed back the guitar, and left. Another pawn shop as a kick ass guitar there. No name home made guitar. It's made out of clear acrillic, in the shape of an axe, 1 hum, one vol, Bolted on chain strap. But I aint gonna pay $400 for a home made guitar. In the same store in a glass counter had parts of a Harmony Student model guitar.(I had one for my first guitar)Well this guitar is worth, well the price the plywood cost to make it. They had it all parted out at differnt prices, The body was $60, the pick gaurd with cheep ass 2 single coils was $50, the crappy briged was $20. A grand total of $130, I bought this guitar brand new for $80. I feel sorry for who ever buys that crap.. Oh yea I live near Laughlin so some good guitars do show up. People pawn just about anything for gambling money. But most of the stuff is cheap crap from all the junkies in this town, who will pawn there kid if they could get a dime for it...

Up with dope! Down with hope!
A guitar is like a woman, touch her right, and she shall sing.
