Tribute Guitar

[Brad]

Someone I know is selling this guitar for $450. I think it's a S 500. Are these guitars good? Good deal?

You can get these off the rack at a music store for about 650, so that's a nice price if it's in great shape.

Those are decent guitars. Very Fender Strat-like (it's a Leo Fender design, Leo is the "L" in G&L) though not exactly like a Strat. I've played one of these a friend has, she really likes it, I think it's quite a nice guitar for the money. Made in Korea. I love that finish and pickguard combination.

Lon,

Thanks. Have you ever played a Schecter and, if so, what do you think of those?

[jazzbo]

I've never played a Schecter Brad. Nor known anyone who has one. I gravitate to the traditional, and fell in love with Fenders hard the last year or two.

Schecter has gone through several ownerships and are now I think all Korean made. I'm sure the quality is decent and the scope of sound suitable. I seem to see these more in the hands of hard and indie rock players than players of any other type.

[7/4]

Sounds like a decent price.
