The OS Guitarists thread

Finally pulled the trigger. Here's a photo. There were three finalists; the other two were a used Epiphone LP Slash that included a hard case and a new Player Tele Thinline. Was leaning heavily toward the Thinline but it was going to land at the high end of the price range and the sales guy thought this used one was a better value. Got the guitar and amp (both used) as well as a strap, capo, cable, headphone adapter (no 1/8" jack on the amp), a bunch of picks, and a used Strat Mini for the kids. All for just over $500. I feel like I got a pretty good deal. Wasn't planning on the Strat Mini but was able to get it for the cost of a new video game so figured what the heck...not sure the wife was happy about that surprise though.

Funniest part of the night was when I asked my son (6) which one to get. He told me that I shouldn't get any because we could spend that money on something that we NEED instead. Of course, he's not wrong in the sense of it not being the most practical use of the money but the sales guy and I were both cracking up. I was like "What the heck, dude?! Where's the support?!" I was sure that my wife had gotten to him but she swears that she didn't.
