I bought one of today from a friend for
£40.00.Its a nice simple guitar,well known brand.I thought
it was a good price.I love the desinctive Fender sound.
Theres one flaw,colour....Its bright red!So i'm gonna have
to get a paint job.
Does anyone have a rough estimate as to the price of a
simple black paint job?
Also I need advice on buying a decent amp,for around
£100.00....
No this isn't my first guitar,I have others but I've always
wanted a Fender...

you don't get a decent amp for 100 pounds

I tried cutting and pasting your link, but it's still broke.
Is it a strat? A candy apple red strat with a white
pickguard? Cause if it is, and you paint it black, I'm a
kill you. A red strat is just the sexiest thing a man can
put his hands on.

I know,but what I mean is the best for the price range....

All i'm looking for is a 20watt amp,nothing fancy.

Actually it is red,its a distgusting colour.Obviously

I prefer a sunburts or wood effect guitar like most of my
others...But I've always wanted a black Strat..

i can assure you from experience a loud and crap amp is way
better and more fun than a quiet and expensive one

earth is right the bigger the amp the more shit you can do
with the cab to get your "sound" right

I still have a 20 watt Peavy amp which cost £40 second hand
about ten years ago, I don't rate it much tho. Sound is
iffy, and I had a Fender copy at the time. I've had a 100
watt Marshall for ages so I dunno much about amps any
more...

I played a fantastic amp the other day, can't remember wtf
it was.

I mean, decent loud heavy metal amps, for a good 'un it's
usually £400 plus. I was lucky, I got a good amp for £100,
then got to watch the seller spend it on lsd and stick them
to his eyeballs.

By the way:

"I've got a big one in my parents house,its dads,but I can

sick man, sick.

i want to get a new guitar soon meself... i have a Godin
Radiator now (black)... and a Vox Cambridge 15 amp
i dont remember how much the amp was at the time of
purchase... i think around $300 dollars i guess that would
be around 150 pounds, but maybe the price has gone down in
teh years since i got it

its nice for the price... it has a tube in the pre-amp, so
its like half-tube half solid state
sounds really good... the tube definitely makes a difference
in teh sound... and getting a tube sound is rare in this
price range
HOW ever.. the distortion is not very 'hard'... you could
never play metal on it, but its great for stuff thats not as
hard, usually older stuff, but also radiohead actually
it lets you be more dynamic than solid state too... it
distorts more the harder you play
the other bad thing is theres no reverb, but there is a
tremelo

anyways if you can find it used it would be a great amp if
its the sound your looking for
i did lots of research when i got it and lots of ppl say its
really good.... thats gotta count for something

check out harmony-central.com for anything youre considering

last time i went guitar/amp 'shopping' (well LOOKING) in
london, i played a 70s MusicMan amp... was soo much better
than any of these new amps. So Tonepusher, go for old amps
:D

you've got an amp that only gives pure feedback? keep that!
or send it to me!
