(6,591 posts)I mowed lawns all summer to save $125 for a no-brand Sears Les Paul copy, cherry sunburst.
It was cheap, but it did the job. After a year of lessons & practice, when it got to the point where the low quality of the instrument was holding back my progress, I had saved enough to buy a black Ibanez Iceman. Yes, I was a KISS fan & wanted Paul Stanley's guitar. I still have it, but I modified it a bit. The biggest addition was a tremolo that I designed & built in high school, in my dad's workshop. I mounted the original tailpiece/bridge on a pivoting brass plate & cut out the body for springs. With the addition of a locking nut, the thing worked & stayed in tune.

Thinking about getting him lessons on the electric, but I really think he needs to learn acoustic first..but what does mom know?!
