I just ordered a $800 guitar for $300. It was on sale. I acted quickly because I know they will be gone fast. It's the ESP LTD Dave Mustaine signature guitar. This is what it looks like:



Specs:

Construction: Neck-thru-body
Scale: 25.5”
Body: Mahogany
Neck/Fretboard: 3-pc. maple/rosewood
Inlays: 8 ball on 1st fret and dots
Pickups: Seymour Duncan JB/Jazz set
Electronics: 2 volume, tone, 3-way toggle
Hardware: Black + Sperzel locking tuners + Dunlop flushmount straplocks
Bridge: TonePros locking w/string-thru-bridge
Binding: White (neck, headstock)
Frets: 24 jumbo
Colors: BLK, SW, MS

Oh I'm glad I had some $$$ saved up.

haha i want a red one with a black pickguard. this one actually.



also the voodoo edition is hot stuff

That thing looks like the Bat-Wing.

Here's a of the custom guitars I made back in the mid-80s when I played in a garage band.

The red guitars (the twins) were made from basswood and are extremely lightweight. They sport EMG pickups (built-in powered preamps) and Schecter/Schaller hardware. The white edge binding was a pain on all three guitars (finishing isn't my forte) but gave the guitars a cleaner look. The guitar on the left is my favorite. It's beat up and could use a good scrubbing (there's lots of finger munge on the neck) but it sounds so sweet. It has a white ash body with a walnut veneer on the top. The back and sides are 30+ coats of hand-rubbed lacquer that looks like the top of a black grand piano.

All of the guitars have Warmouth necks (two have custom 24 fret strat necks that I don't think they make any more). Those necks are rock solid as I haven't had to adjust the truss rod once. I don't play much these days, but I wanted to show you guys a picture of my handiwork from almost 20 years ago.

I'm fond of this monstrosity:
