  1. i've had a 66 J45 since the 70's that's pretty good, i paid £350 at the time. the newest guitar i have i think is a maton ebg808TE from 2014, and, well, you can't go wrong with maton - that cost me £950 - a snap. i'd avoid paying more than 1k for a guitar, i'm strictly a bargain hunter. thing about guitars is like anything, if something is tried and tested and you do your research and know what to look for - positives and negatives - then buying "an older model" makes sense, it's shrunk and expanded enough times, it's played in, any faults would've shown up by now, you should know what you're getting. new guitars - i doubt i'd buy a new guitar unless i had one made for me, i prefer older guitars anyway but at least if it's not fallen apart ten years after it was made, it will prolly last another ten at least. having said that, i'm tempted by those PRS santana models... and there is the pleasure factor, if you're going to get a million bucks worth of pleasure, well. what i did was i wanted to find out how good certain makes actually were so i'd buy one as cheap as i could and that's how i've wound up with two gibsons (j45 and j35) the maton, a larrivee and a plastic martin - the plastic martin is the best of them all, and cost the least £350 with case.
