...is a cheap one where you aren't quite sure of the specs and can't find any information online. Optimally one labeled "Not in working condition"
Here's why:
1 - The tonewood debate is negligible because you don't know what it's made of anyway.
2 - You can do more invasive mods without feeling bad (also discourages theft).
3 - If it speaks to you it does so because it's a good guitar, not because it has fancy appointments.
4 - You'll make compromises in the name of saving money that you never would on a expensive guitar. Example, cycling back through every last set of stock pickups you've ripped out of other guitars so you don't have to use "the good ones".
5 - If it sucks you aren't out nearly as much money.
6 - A quality DIY respray can easily diminish the cheap feel of the guitar.
7 - You can treat it poorly and it will add to the guitars mojo, not diminish it.
8 - You can give them away to earn some "cool guy" points and not feel bad.
9 - They oftentimes have body shapes that don't exist anywhere else.
10 - To reiterate, you cannot possibly hurt their resale value by any considerable amount.
