The stock p'ups in these guitars are nothing short of FANTASTIC. So my luthier pressed in and glued all the frets, gave it a vintage bone topnut, great setup and outstanding level & dress. Frets were a bit true, and it seemed like maybe it might have been rushed a bit for the show. Wow.ģ - For me - Peavey HP Signature Select NAMM show. But I had to advise the student that they could actually wait a while on getting it set up. I was grimacing having to put it in my hands at first. Came with case candy and even a basic cable. Adjustments, setup and intonation were all pretty decent. Korean.Ģ- Students guitar - Daisy Rock LP Special copy. Replaced the p'ups with a pair of 59's, gave it a great set up, and a custom graphlon topnut, along with some fret polishing. $250 + $50 shipping.ġ - Dean Mach V set neck mahogany. It does suffer a little from resonant feedback, being a big old jazzbox, so I mostly run it through an acoustic amp with an adjustable noise gate. A little on the big side, but a wonderful unit if you want to play some Johnny Cash. Old time burnt orange clear top hat knobs finished off the unit nicely. After you dumped the silly mahogany upper bridge and put on a standard $12 TAM on the mahogany bridge base, it became a sustain tone monster. (Also came in black, but I didn't trust what was under that paint!) Five ply binding, set neck, great inlays on the neck, just that gawdawful S101 sticker on the headstock. It looks so much like the Joe Pass, it's scary. Made in the same factory as the Epiphone Joe Pass units.

This wonderful double humbucker unit full hollowbody is laminated maple, gold hardware, out of the Sejung Factory in Quixing, China. Also still available in some places as the "Doughboy". I think now available as a Washburn Oscar Schmidt. Got mine in Champange Metalflake for $133. No tremelo, but three lipstick coils, grover tuners, delrin nut, mahogany body with that great heavy metalflake finish and one piece maple bolt on neck with recessed bolts. Sometimes still available from online eBay stores, usually now about $200 as a buy-it-now. Although now out of production, it was a great surf guitar that made most Danelectro reissues look bad. I'm always trying to save a buck on a new axe, practice axe, or even a gift for an aspiring starter! I thought this might be a fun way for forum members to discover from others those "hidden" low-cost treasure guitars that come out once in a while, among all the cheap junk that we all have to sift through.
