Quality guitar for 200 bucks? What quality?

[guitarmeister109]

The guitar not being John signature model, it incinerated as soon as John stopped playing.

That guitar wasn't red when he picked it up.

And there was a person sitting at the chair.

SHIT tone.

@whatshendrix Eh, couple exceptions to that rule. The most notable being the OLP MM1's.

And I'd add that, most of the guitars in most music stores are not perfectly set up. Most often they arrive from shipping and are simply tuned. It has nothing to do with a setup you can do home, carefully and precise. But I agree that the more you pay, the better material you get (wood, metal parts, mecanics), which is what I like with my Schecter... mahogany body, maple top, maple neck and nice stock pick-ups for 500 bucks

@ChromeXk I setup guitars in the music store as my job, and no matter the price you pay the guitar, if it's not set up well it won't sound any better than my little Jackson. However, I must say that I've upgraded the pick-ups on it with some Parralel Axis Distortion (duncan) and a Hot Rail, which brings the value to 400$ lol. But my point is that it is set up properly, even for 200$ and it stays in tune. She's also scalloped and do not hum at all.

@mesvidsfavoris Yeah but if the guitars were setup properly in the music store, they'd probably blow your $200 jackson out of the water, so it's a bit of an unfair comparison

@DavidL1432 sounds more to me ike he's just plugged straight into an amp

[DavidL1432]

@P00TANARA probly his rack. he has pretty much every tone/effect ever though of in that thing. i believe the pedal is just a controller for the rack.

[P00TANARA]

this is a nice gain tone sound...is the amps gain or pedal?

@mesvidsfavoris

I'm sure you're happy with it, that of course is not the issue here.
