| 2005 | $300 | new | Deb | This was my first electric guitar and it’s still my favorite. The only thing missing is a whammy bar. I bought the black one first, and then awhile later I saw the red one on sale for only $200 and bought that one as well. I still have both and although I have other guitars, these are the ones I play the most. |
