Yes I'm serious. But I don't have that much invested. Pawn shops and ebay are your friends. I think the most I ever paid for a guitar was $1400 (the PRS and the Gary Moore L.P., both worth a lot more than that). I have only bought four new guitars from music stores, and they were all under $1k. The red flame Ovation $895, the two pick-up Heritage $725, the dk red 7-string $750, and one of the Hamers $350 were all new. I got the dk red 7-string on close-out from a local store. Of the Hamer's I have, the one all the way to your right (looks black in the pic, but it's really iridescent) I got at a store closing auction for $350 new. I went to the auction with $600 in my pocket. I bid up on the Hamer until I won it, then I bid on a new Crate "Blue Voodoo" tube combo amp. It went for $350 (I ran out of cash) to the highest bidder. So I missed it by $100. The other iridescent Hamer next to it I bought at a pawn shop for $275, no I'm not kidding. The EVH "Frankenstrat" I had built to spec, so it didn't come from a store. Every other guitar in these photos were bought "used" locally or on ebay. Other than the L.P. Special my dad gave me of course. There are some really great deals out there, just look around and you'll find them. By the way, every guitar I ever bought came with a hardshell case included in the price, except for the EVH Frankie.
Also, of all the amps I own, only two were bought new, my Randall RG80 head and my Mesa 2:90, all the rest were used.
