Sucks about the guitar, in high school someone tried to steal mine. Guess he didn't know my name was written on the other side of the spring cover
Most I spent on a guitar was probably the acoustic I had. it was a Breedlove I think it was right at $1000 for it. I kind of like the the Alexi Laiho V guitars. Not exactly like a flying fee, one point is shorter. I used to have a fender showmaster, that was a nice fender and had 24 frets on it. Floyd Rose's are good to stay in tune, but a pain in the .... to restring. I could restring 3 regular guitars before I ever got one with a floyd rose done. I keep going back and forth on guitars, thinking this go around I'll get a standard guitar. I don't use the tremolo anyways.
