What current guitar would you buy for £1000 +/- £100

mfin · March 8

For £1000 the only thing I know is it would be second-hand for sure. Buying new guitars at that cost makes no sense when you can get much better for the money buying second-hand. (If you're 16 or something it can feel nice to buy something new though).

I hear on the qt that one can pick up a brand new, handmade Ian Elson custom luthier one of a kind for never more than £950. Can better value be imagined never mind found?!

Acoustic. Yamaha FS3 or LSTA or LL16D in black.

Electric. Stanford CR Thinline 35 or 30.

Deadman · March 9

Brand new for a grand I’d be looking for good value over anything else.

That doesn't quite fit the "new" requirement...

indeed, hence I had to change my post...............................

Fender pro strat 2 in Olympic white with rw fretboard. The neck.

that's a bit more than + £100

You can pick them up used for that. I just sold one myself for that price.

The opening post stipulated new.

Used American Professional II Telecaster

Sporky · March 9

I'd buy a 911 Dakar, secondhand.

Not new, not a guitar, not in budget, but as usual no-one seems to have paid attention to the opening post. Plus if I could get one for a grand I would.

Quit with the stupid comments for a change eh?

911 Dakar pfft.

Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato is the right answer.

But then I'd hardly post anything!

Excellent choice though - let's meet up and go greenlaning.

I had this very problem this week and ended up with an SE Mark Holcomb for 899

Fez · March 9

SG or something PRS

Offset · March 9

Brand new? Probably a Schecter or Charvel of some description.

crunchman · March 9

Either a PRS S2 in a sale, a Mexican Tele of some type, or a Schecter.

AlexO · March 9

I've just got one of the Vintera II Nocasters. I've had a few CS Nocasters. Honestly it's not that far off. Neck feels bang on to a NOS CS.
Superb guitars for the £££

Sigma SOMR-45. They are just about bang on a grand at most of the larger retailers at the moment.

In my opinion these are as close to a Martin in playability, quality and sound thet you can get without selling a kidney to finance the purchase.

LTD mirage deluxe ‘87

Howdy, Stranger!
