Wow....I got my guitar used, 900 € when it was new.
I've got two; My first one, which is of decent quality, and is very small and light. I use it for practice, since it's so easy to play.
My second one I got a few weeks back, and is AMAZING. I once downtuned everything two steps down, and it played the strings just as well as if they had been in standard tuning. Something to do with adjusting tension and not length. And the active pick-ups are designed specifically for effects such as distortion. The downside is that the neck is quite long, so its hard to play. The headstock is also overbalanced, so it will slip downwards often when on my strap.The strings are pretty thick, which give it a deep tone, but also make it hard to play fast, since you have to press down pretty damn hard if you want to hold down 3 strings with one finger. I usually use it for out little performances or to show off.
My friend who teaches me, is also awesome, he can play solos from lots of bands, awesome.
As I said, I'm self-taught, and am a better bassist than guitarist, but I'm decent in both areas. I do pick up tips from some of the older players. How long have you been playing?
