Great cheap rig sounds...

Here are a couple of mine. The first is a D'Angelico EX DC (a bargain used, if not cheap new) and a Fender Champion 20 on the BF Deluxe setting.

The EX-DC has to be the best deal on the planet. It sounds superb, and is only equaled in appearance by the Ibanez AS-153. It sounds GREAT, your playing too!

Cheap gear? Gosh I use a an old Korean telecaster copy made by "Vantek" that I paid $99 for used. The amp I play through is a used 1986 Fender Sidekick 15 with an 8" speaker that I paid $35 for. For what I am trying to do (learn jazz guitar) it sounds fine to me. The tele is a full thickness string through lightweight body with a nice chunky maple neck with a slab rosewood fingerboard and medium jumbo frets. It could use a decent fret job. I have since removed the ugly Vantek decal. These pics are when I first got it a year ago. I have also fixed the intonation since these pics were taken and I plan on upgrading the tuners and electronics. It's not a bad tele for $99! Sadly I have no sound clips of it but I am working on it.

Yeah, I'm very happy with the EX- DC. I was lucky to pick up one of the older "blowout" ones a couple of years after the fact in completely new condition (even still had the plastic on the pickguard) at the blowout price. If there's a better price:satisfaction ratio out there than that i haven't found it (except maybe my Strat). Thanks also for the kind words.

Thanks man!

I like the simplicity. It lets me concentrate on playing the music. Here's a quick recording I just did direct from the amp's headphone jack to my PC onto Audacity with a little reverb added. It's my very first recording of this guitar and this tune so please excuse my lousy noob playing.

Thanks for the kind words......LOL!!! Don't let her see this thread!!!

There are some mighty fine players here who sound great! I must say Mr Beaumont's Kingpin through the Champ 600 is a really nice combo and well under $1000 on the used market. Like if you're lucky $700 for the pair. The Ibanez Artcore hollow body electrics are great bargains too. I just saw a used one for sale for $300.

That's some pretty stuff, no matter the price tag, brotha.
