You probably could have bought one really nice guitar for all the money spent on those entry-to-intermediate guitars. Also, what happened to asking for free stuff because you couldn't afford gear?

Re: NGD x4: Pawnshop finds!
It just takes practice.
What I usually do is this:
- Set the Floyd to the exact position you want it to rest in, then completely block it from moving from that position (wedge something hard and not flexible in the cavity). Then tighten the springs all the way.
- Put the strings in the saddle, restring it, and tune to pitch. When tuning, the bridge should not move from the position you blocked it in. If it did, there wasn't enough spring tension.
- Lock the nut once it is perfectly in tune (make sure there is enough room for the fine tuners to work both ways for fine adjustment). Then, un-block the bridge. The bridge will probably move and all the strings will go sharp. Do not reach for the fine tuners or tuning pegs.
- Slowly release spring tension, and do so until the bridge is in the exact position you had blocked it in, and the strings will be relatively in tune. Adjust as needed with the fine tuners, and you're set!

As with your Fighter acoustic thread of last week, I put the question, what has become of the Gibson LP that you were going to put on layaway?

Or that somebody has been, ahem, exaggerating some of the time.

Re: NGD x4: Pawnshop finds!
the guitars look ok but not something id do.. i have bought 3 out of my 6 guitars at a pawnshop but that was spending 100,250 and 300 at a time.. not all at once....then I spent time/money customizing them to what i want when money allowed.. just not a grand at one time..no offense but if i had a grand to spend on a guitar , i would of bought one nice middle of the road guitar in the 800 to 1000 dollar range..such as a Jackson Pro Soloist SL2 Electric Guitar

Re: NGD x4: Pawnshop finds!
Agreed.
Buying the SG to remove the Invader, install something cheap and, then, flipping it makes sense.
The LTD makes sense - especially at approximately 200USD.
Remember, the entire electric guitar market in Australia is somewhat inflated by US expectations.
The other two, I would have left in the pawn shop.
