I got this George Lynch LTD for under $500. It's heavy wood to be sure. It's basswood, but a thick slab of it so it has really good sustain. To be sure it's WAY retro, so folks not in to 80's retro guitars will not be interested, but if you are, it's got really nice pickups and the volume knob is push pull to switch pickups. Double locking trem, thin U neck, per george. It's a very good value for money but again, very 80's retro.
  But if that's not your thing, then I'd say one of the Mid Range Ibby guitars will do nicely  However, if it were my money, i"d skip buying a new guitar and get a used Ibby that is a bit better than what you get new for 500. For that kind of money, you can get a really nice used ibby with some mileage on it. They have an entire section at REVERB.COM of guitars for under $500https://reverb.com/handpicked/shredder-guit...der-500-dollars This MIJ 7620 is listed at $400! It's a 7 string, but there are wads of six strings available. That is a steal on a Made in Japan Ibby7 string.  This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Jul 4 2017, 10:19 PM |

I'll stay alert if I find an old cheap Japan Ibbby anytime, at least to try them and see if I like the feel. The idea of modifying it like in the video is great.

The important thing with such guitars is one must be ready to invest on it after bought, its very realistic to expect a guitar in not so perfect shape. These older guitar do make better candidates for project guitars/extreme renewal but if one doesn't have enough cash to invest then its usually better to get newer used guitars. Yeah, it needs investment off course, but in many cases you can get a much better guitar with less investment than buying one in good shape which is newer. -------------------- My lessons
