13 year old Calvin Prior wanted to get a £1100 Marshall Amp, so he started busking with his electric guitar on Brighton seafront in the UK. He says he is earning around £70 an hour. He has already bought a £2000 PRS with earnings from busking. I would think it is better to busk with the crappiest guitar possible, people will think you need the money.
