Try a used strat or something, you can get a fairly decent guitar new for 500, but you could get a much better used one Not sure what you like, what kind of music do you want to make, any general ideas etc?

Not sure what kind of music you like/play so it's kind of hard to determine what guitar to get...... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I bought an ACS Elite (acoustic/electric) from him, and I got it in 5 days =). Right now he's selling a white C1 Elite: http://cgi.ebay.com/SCHECTER-C-1-ELITE-GUI...6QQcmdZViewItem Mahogony body and neck, set neck w/ultra access, coil-tapping pots, Duncan Designed pickups, grover tuners, tone pros bridge, and all for $500 with a case (depending on where you live). A brand new C1 elite is $600, so you'll save about $150, JUST CAUSE IT HAS A LITTLE SCRATCH. Good stuff... good luck whatever you buy! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Try to haggle the dealer because we do that ALL the time in Guitar Center. Pretty crazy. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
