Re: How bout the new Epiphone SL?

I suppose you can lose if the guitar won't stay in tune, or if the amount of work and money it takes to get it playable (and the annoyance of doing so) is greater than the initial cost. But it might be fine. I actually have only seen the pictures, but I don't have hopes for a $99 guitar playing anywhere close to even a $300 guitar.

+1. You're far better off spending your allotment on a used guitar (in good condition) that originally cost a lot more, than spending that same allotment for retail on a new guitar. In one case you're getting a lot more for your money, and can resell it for what you paid for it. Put a lot of time & money into a new $100 guitar, and you won't even get $100 for it when you want to move on to something better. If you're considering a $100 guitar in the first place, money's obviously tight; why pour money into it that can't be recouped? Do yourself a favor and buy used.

If i hear the expression bolt on neck im going to puke..just kidding!
truth is most bolt on guitars like fenders are really SCREWED IN
WHY do i say that? Because bolt on implies a screw and a nut with some something (wood) in between.
Just Sayin...
