HAY GUYZ
I want to start work on a PROJECT GUITAR. Basically, I want to buy a cheap, yet sturdy guitar and over the course of some time tinker, alter and refurbish it into something awesome.
Can anyone reccomend an el-cheapo guitar that has nice handling? Best case scenario, I don't want to have to bother with changing the neck(but I will if I have to).
I'm a fan of Ibanez, Schecter and Epi/Gibson in particular. I guess I like my necks superflat or nice and round. Pickups, electronics, ect. will all probably be altered at some point. If the guitar has a flat finish I'll mess with that, too. Preferably a tune-o-matic kind of bridge, too. I hate messing with a guitar for ages to make sure it's set right after each change of strings.
I got an offer for a cheap Ibanez for around 300 AUD. Wizard neck and mahogany body, plus a free case. I'm leaning towards that right now.
