Topic: Need a new toy?

List $399 (too much) was on sale for $299 (probably about right?) but now $199 with free shipping. I don't know for how long. No, I don't work for Sweetwater :-) I just ordered one. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/XGuitar/

Might work for Photogal's son (if she has not bought one yet)?

Check out this one as well. I've heard the inexpensive Ibanez guitars are 95% as good as the top of the line ones.

I don't know about guitars, but I once bought an entry-level Ibanez bass at a pawn shop for $125 that had the sweetest tone of any bass I've ever owned - with the notable exception of one ATK-305 wink

Photogal's son has his guitar already, but I'm upgrading my son's guitar and this could be just the thing!
