So at the moment it's £0 as I'm covered for humbuckers and don't have many occasions to bust out single coils. I'd be better off spending the money on someone to come round and shout at me every night to make me practice.
On acoustics it's a bit different, and I have dropped £1.6k in the past on a new Furch+Fishman. I've kind of got the horn for a dreadnought as the "significant" birthday present, but would be setting the ceiling at no more than the Furch cost, and ideally lower, or even better, pre-loved. And it probably won't happen because I don't need it, I just want it.
on the other hand, i could probably justify £1200 more easily than a £600, as i wouldn't be getting much more than what i currently have...
Thanks guys, guess i'm getting than Manson!
There's things I've had, there's things I wanna have"
I had thought of getting something really nice, US made, small maker. And at the time I was first thinking of it, the kind of thing I wanted, was 2-2.5K new, and could be found under 2k used.
Now, a lot of the same guitars are topping 3K, or even getting close to 4K or more, and even used, I just can't justify it.
Especially when I could get a used AVRI, or something similar, and put a (if it needed it) a few hundred quid into some nice pickups and a top notch setup, and still come out way under. Or look for something really nice but maybe a bit unfashionable, Japanese made, say.
But I did buy a 54 telecaster with original case for £300, plus I gave him a USA Strat and a MIJ 62 reissue tele. shouldn't have done the deal as the MIJ tele was a much better guitar.
think 3K would be my limit.

used prices:
£2k for an electric
I can't think of any electric I'd want worth more than that
£5k for an acoustic
