Famous but bad guitars and less famous but good guitars

[petervirdee]

I will go for the good guitar because the quality matter for me rather than the brand..

I have a Fender knockoff called "Baja" and it does amazing for $50.

[excuse me please]

I would rather have a good guitar than a famous one, but my favourites are Strats which are both good and famous. I used to own a pink paisley Strat that cost me £400 at the time but I have also had a Tempest that my brother sold me, similar to the one here and despite it being really heavy, it was a really good guitar.

A friend of mine had something that looked similar in the early 80s. It was a Vantage, and probably worth more now than what he paid for it. Made at the Terada plant in Japan.

Glenn was it what I bought from Muffwiggler...a Daion? Amazing guitars...mine is a Power Mark XX, true neck thru, made of 14 pieces of maple and rosewood. The company developed a system for laminating that was really good, they actually started making high end golf clubs...the craftsmanship on these guitars is great...not mine but a pic of one just like it

I remember trying out a Rickenbacker (6-string, black and white) in the late 70s because I thought they looked cool. I couldn't anywhere near afford it (still can't), and at that point I'd only ever played cheapo copies. I was amazed to find it felt like playing a plank of badly-sawn wood and ended up buying (on HP-remember that?) an Aria strat copy which I had for years...anyone else had this experience with Rickenbackers? I never tried one again...have I missed out?

Mike M was a very, very good friend of mine, Muff Wiggler was also a member here for a long time and he passed away tragically. When another good friend of ours had passed away (chuck e jesus rip Ross) at muffwiggler's forum we all bought tshirts that someone at MW.com made to help Ross's children.

You want to know what you can do with that eyeroll? WTF was this ignorance about pal? Please tell me...wtf is wrong with you?

Nothing. But there is an obvious reason the site change their name to Mod Wiggler... now stop projecting, please.

yeah asshole because Mike died and others took it over. I did not buy the guitar from the forum, I never mentioned the forum, just my good friend here who sold me the guitar, a great person...there was no call for your response to my post like this. You could have said you didnt realize whatever, i was never talking about the forum...instead you doubledown on insensitivity.

now stop trolling please

muff wiggler was also mikes online name (after lazer guided) when he changed it after buying two ehx pedals.
the site of the same name, later mod wiggler, came later still.

the guitar was purchased from the member of the name "muff wiggler" not the forum.

and ftr one of the few things I bought on the market place here, some pups from hibidy once and I cant recall but the duncan jr in my baritone was bought from a member here, as I recall he didnt use it, never installed it and he even sent me the soldering iron he bought

[Hink]

he was also briefly a mod here

[vurt]

he was also a hippy.

[Hink]

he once called me from a music store in Canada for advice on a G&L he was buying, he was literally in the store, with a salesman and he called me...that was awesome

[excuse me please]

Lol I was just kidding

[brevity]

Honestly, I am surprised at the quality of squier affinity telecasters, had mine for a couple of days now and they make for a good beginner's/budget guitar. Not extraordinary, but definitely a guitar I would say is less famous but good (at least for the price).
