I'm not at all an 'old-timer' but when I started playing the guitar magazines had ads with the guy from Hed PE, or Dan Donegan or Coal Chamber. Also - Guitar Magazines. So I've been playing long enough to recognize some pretty silly bull**** that no one ever speaks of again.
Curious: Which notable fads are you now able to recognize as such?
The big one I remember is the Squier 51 . People had a really creepy, Beanie Baby-ish mindset toward them for a while- first looking for the more 'desirable' combinations of colors pick-guards, early models, first release models, etc. Even if you weren't a fanatic, you probably had one. I had one for a couple months, before I realized it really was a freaking Squier - no more, no less. Looks like they go for about twice the original purchase price now anyway (meaning still dirt cheap.) Didn't they have their own forum for a while? What happened to your Squier 51 ?
