Now some more budget added, still hasn’t goit a Guitar and is using my Bernie and I would like it back sometime soon

For £300 you're into the territory of some real decent beginner stuff second hand. If you were looking for something more traditional then there'll be any number of Epiphone Les Pauls, Squier Strats and Teles (Classic Vibe series are very highly regarded) comfortably under that budget. 

At that price you could also look to pick up something new in the various sales. I know these Yamaha Revstars have been well reviewed as solid, no-nonsense rock machines... https://www.coda-music.com/winter-sale/yamaha-revstar-rs420-fire-red.html

What you really need is a mildly modded PRS SE One

PM me. I can assist with this suggestion.

Er, isn't this something you should be telling him, not us?

mikeyrob73

Yes but I don’t wanna leave the wee fellah without something to play, I’m nice like that

Can we take it that the lad prefers the PRS SE over the Fender style guitars? Does he need two pickups rather than one? Do they need to be humbuckers?

The reason I ask is that the PRS SE One is a single P90 guitar with no tone pot. It only really does one thing - that rude Blues Rock thang through a good quality, high gain, valve amplifier. Even with a Duncan Antiquity pickup fitted, the clean sound is uninspiring.

mikeyrob73

Yeah I think the 2 humbucker option is probably the best route to go down 

Funkfingers

That information helps. It narrows things down considerably.

From within the PRS SE range, there are various permutations of controls, offered in various positions. For many, one advantage of the Bernie is dual volume pots. Not everyone likes having the pickup selector switch on the upper bout. Fortunately, it is no great problem to drill an SE Singlecut or Standard for the third pot. 

The "poverty model" version of the Yamaha Revstar would be equally good. A pre-owned example might fall within budget.

I have a really nice PRS SE Santana,  blue, it would be £290 delivered to you.

Nothing to do with me but ticks a few boxes PRS SE

Coda has the Revstar RS320 in the sale for £199 which seems like a good deal. Richtone has a Squier Bullet Strat for £85 which could always be modded / upgraded later.

Cheers Simon I shall have a quick look at that Yamaha

Any interest in a Blue Label Fret King Super 60 HB in sunburst?

Its basically a HSS strat. It’s a bit beat up and rough around the edges as it’s been my number one gigging guitar for some time now. However it plays as well as anything I’ve owned and has a great spec on it. Fully setup so really easy to play.

Let me me know if it’s of any interest and I’ll send some pics through.

sorry guy s been so busy i forgot about this, after some xmas money the lad now has £400 in cold hard cash waiting to spend  

he is going to look at a PRS SE later this week if nothing else crops up 

so what we have discovered is humbuckers are preferred 

bluebuddha

A whole load of awesomeness right here.

ESP LTD Tele upgraded with Seymour Duncan Dimebucker and 59, 3 way switch and push/pull for coil tap.

Maple neck and board, jumbo frets (polished up nicely)

For that budget I would go for an Epiphone Les Paul Tribute Plus 2nd hand.

Classic looks, decent build quality for the money, and genuine Gibson 57 humbuckers. Also come with a hard case if I'm not mistaken.

There's a few on eBay under that budget, but not sure where your based so dunno how practical it would be for you to collect.

Think this may be sorted now guys
