New guitar, here I come. [View all]

[Iggo]

So I have one of these...



...and I just bought one of these, a Harley Benton G212 Vintage cab with (2) Celestion Vintage 30's, to put under it...



...total for both coming in at less than 400 bucks. I had expected to pay 700 or 800 to a grand for an amp, but the cab from Harley Benton is a loss leader and was really cheap, and I mean insanely cheap. In fact it cost less than the two Celestions would if I bought them separately.

So anyway, I had earmarked two grand for a new amp and guitar, and now I've unexpectedly got about $1600 left in the budget for a decent guitar. My Epi Les Paul sounds sweet, but I'm up to a 3.5" wide strap now and my arm still feels like it's going to fall off if I play for more than twenty minutes. My $150 Cort, while very comfortable to play, sounds like caca plugged in.

I'm headed to GC tomorrow and probably Monday. Any suggestions?

(EDIT: I bought the Micro Terror a few years back, so you might say that technically I still have $1750 left in the budget...lol.)
