well...for $27... I hope you were not expecting ...... anything really sweet.
It's good to have a "beater" guitar... if it gets broke, scratched, stolen... nobody really gives a flip... buy another and life goes on.
Something to have fun with....
I bought a $20 guitar with a case at a yard sale..... man it was ugly, grotesque almost... dark green, with switches on stuff on it.... it was tacky looking.... anyway, I carried it to the gig that night..... plugged it in and tuned it up.... Oh I did put some new EB super slinks on it.... turned on the boogie.... and what ear torturing thin tone...and the feedback.... oh my. Unplugged it after one or two songs and grabbed my Gibson, and to think I almost left the Gibson home that night... sure glad I didn't.
End of the night.... the soundman said he wanted to buy it.. so I sold it to him... $25... to cover the new set of strings.
