2006 Ibanez S470...............

Had a bad day at work and one of these is still unsold at one of the Budapest shops. Temptation is taking hold. 

I have a 2016 S521 here I am playing now. I always liked Ibanez. The 2006 one I probably looked at and wanted in the shops at the time but I was "saving up". It has the fancy trem and seems to be factory condition. It is black but that is fine, I increasingly like understated guitars. Korean built.

They also have a Cort KX300 with EMGs.... 

Tell me off for looking. 

Or maybe a pink Squier or Jet.....................

As others will say if you like the guitar and you have the money free to buy it then go for it I say. Especially if it was a guitar you wanted in the past. A recommendation though if you can try it before buying definitely do that.

Problem solved! LOL! Someone else bought it anyway!

As is so often the way.  That feeling of relief tinged with regret.

I have more or less decided however that I will take a day in Budapest and go and try stuff as I have not bought a guitar for years but I fancy something with a brighter finish as all mine are very boring!! I don't buy very often and I keep stuff for years.

One place actually stocks Harley Benton and I am curious. To see what they are actually like. Just the cheaper end as I always used to have at least one Squier as a "out on the rack" guitar and they always were decent. I regret selling my ancient Squier Standard Strat I kept for years............. I liked that guitar.TBH the budget guitars these days are probably better than a lot of the stuff I was using in the mid 2000s I spent decent money on.
