: : What is the best electric guitar for around $300? This will be my first electric guitar. I'm considering getting one of the following: Fender Stagemaster HSH, Ibanez RG170, Washburn BT-6 or BT-4 Billy T series, or Epiphone LP-100 Plus. Which one of these is the best?

: For under $300, you should check out the Yamaha Pacifica 312. I've owned guitars for about 5 years and

: Pacifica 312. It stayed in tune, looked good, played well, the TREM even stayed in tune, and most
: important, it SOUNDED good. Granted, it isn't as good as the ESP, or any of the guitars in the $1000
: range, but hey, for $300, it's a STEAL. You might even be able to get a Pacifica 412 for around $300.
: Seriously check 'em out, they are great guitars. Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong. :)

Well, many of the guitars you listed are built by Samick and the Samick versions usually cost less.
Also check out Cort, Raven and Jay Turser as they good offer guitars in this price range.

I would like to know more about these bands and get some more pictures

I used to own an Acoustic 360 bass rig , it had one 18" speeker in a folded horn cabinate that was powered along with head!! Is the company still around or have they merged with an other company? If so who! Please point me in the right direction.

I am interested in purchasing a guitar direct fom Heritage can anyone tell me how to do this. Thanks for the help.

: : I'm thinking of purchasing a Heritage 535 or 555 (Similar to a Gibson 335). There's a huge website by Ed Roman that sells them. Has anyone heard anything about him or Heritage? Sure appreciate the help.

: First:
: Herritage guitars are VERY nice. They're made by the old Gibson
: people in the old factory and they're generally a higher quality
: product than Gibson is now.
: <P>
: Ed Roman has an unreal website that will make you drool all over yourself.
: However, if you look beyond the pics and READ any of it, his personality
: comes through the text, it will become clear that he's a real "piece of work."
: Though he does know his subject and does beautiful work.
: I asked a music dealer friend of mine about him, and he said he had heard several
: horror stories about working with the guy. He is aparently well-known in the industry,
: not well-liked. Of course, this is second hand information.

: So the answer is YES on Herritage, BE CAREFUL on Roman.
: You're <I>probably</I> OK if you just order one of his stock guitars,
: but you can also order then direct from Herritage and eliminate the middleman.
: A good friend of mine ordered a Herratige that way and had no
: trouble. You can also send it back with no hassles if you don't like it.
: My gut tells me Roman would give you a harder time about that.

How do I contact Heritage? I am also interested in purchasing a 535. I am having problems accessing their web page.

Got handed down my grandfather's d-18. Was hoping to find out when it was made (s/n 81213), should be 1940 to 1950. Help!!!!

: I have a 1966 Martin nylon 6 string. Model # 00-18G. It's in good shape. I would like to find out how much it's worth now and where would be a good place to sell it.
: Thanks

Good is a relative thing. If your guitar has no visible scratches, bowed neck or bridge, it could be worth between four and seven hundred dollars. I might be interested in it if you wish to contact me. Henry.
