It looks like most of the sub-500 guitars are $50 off, then 100 off those 499 and up etc. Details here:

Nice! I used to have a Breedlove and really liked it. It played great. It was a little on the heavy side for an acoustic. I don't even remember why I sold it.

I liked the breedloves years ago but recently I'm not hearing whatever it was that got my attention back then. Even the higher end ones. But 1 or 2 semed special recently. Do they all have that metal support under the bridge still? I was looking at one of the better mid priced ibanez open pore hog small bodies and I loved it. Comparing to the breedloves I thought the ibby had them all beat. Just my current opinion from last years testing.

Seriously. No one getting one yet? Come on! man. Seems to me Epi should just make these their low end At about 179 and just close up selling the single cut lp jr. Maybe in 10 or 20 years we will start to miss them but till then theres plenty out there.

I hate painted guitars but its BLUUUUUEEEE!

I like Pelham Blue, but I'm iffy about SGs. Those Epi Specials are bottom of the barrel too. I've owned the Epi LP Special and the bolt-on Junior (with a frickin' humbucker!) and they weren't that great. I wasn't expecting much and I was still disappointed. I still have the body of the LP Special (the neck wasn't worth a damn). Maybe I'll paint it Pelham Blue and build it out. :D

Well they're gone now. Just the black for 179. The gas has safely passed.
Wit hall the LP jr double cut talk around here I thought some would be interesed. Seems it should fil la similar need but for some reason after I got my sg I'm still thinking a jr dc would scratch a different itch. But I don't know why.

This IYV (or Ivy) Brain May copy is available on Amazon for only $175. I have one, and it's great.
Since they started an IVY FB group, most models are usually snatched up within a day or two. So don't wait if you want one!

I bought one of those a couple months ago. Lotsa interesting tones with the on/off & phase switches & series wiring. Good bang for the buck.

They were gone a few hours after I posted. If you want one, sign up for email notification next time they come in (typically 2-3 months).

Rare Agile in GC used, for a reasonable price - $299.
It's an original headstock AL-2800, ash top. A thing of beauty!

It's listed as a rootbeer AL-2000 though.

Man, I'm a sucker for grain, and that looks otherworldly! It's reasonable price, too (for a change). It's a good thing I realized LPs are not for me, otherwise I might be tempted.
