At this price, why not a Strat? (or Flying V)

Post by NickS »

At this price, there's no excuse NOT to have a Strat:
£37.49 including 15W amp, £35 without. 5*reviews from n00bs
Image
I totally understand that I don't need one, but it's just ridiculously cheap, and my £42 bass was so suprisingly good... they also do it in pink, black and sunburst but unfortunately not white - I fancied getting my daughter to decorate it like Pacafeliz's, but the only white guitar they do seems to be a Flying V,
Image
and that's £39.99 including amp. I baulk at that. :lol:

Haha, I'm gonna let you guineapig for me, be sure to let us know if it's any cop.

I reeeeeeally don't need another guitar, but I'd be great to have something to put P90s in..

It's cheap as all get out. If I don't like it it's coming to Doogfest for pictures and lolz.

Wow. Do those fit Fender necks? Do they ship to the US for cheap?
If you think of god as a pair of pants, a spiritualist thinks he needs pants, in fact he wants pants but none of the conventional types of pants seem to fit just right, so he makes his own pants and is happy that his knees are no longer cold.-fibus

Everyone should own a V, its like a graduation process. They are iconic, play awesome and offer greater tones than the shape suggests.
Mike... srsly... did you? If you became a V user i swear... :D

I've been bonering for a Reverend Volcano for a while.

You can get these cheap bolt-in SHIT V's all over the place.
I could probably get a wholesale hookup somewhere.

It might look KOOL with one of those graphite warmoth necks or something.
