CK's Craftmans strats and teles are pretty decent around the price.

Or you can try your luck at used guitars like Squiers in Jamtank FB.

tumpang thread....

how tightly fit is your acoustic guitar saddle to the bridge?

does it need to be so tight that you need a pliers? or just tight enough for fingers to pull it out with much pressure?

If u nid a plier that means that it's too tight already. Usually it's not too tight until u nid pliers to pull, but not too loose until it starts rattling

You only get what you pay for. 600 seems too low for build and tonal quality.

Its different. Leo came out with a quality instrument while urban came out with a shit guitar (Made in China).

Nevertheless i do respect him as a player and the fact that he doesn't want to be a signature artist for specific brands so he could play any guitars he want for performance.

John Mayer no longer a fender artist as he was force to use only fender stuff on stage, on tv or ...

technically not true about mayer.
he was still allowed to use his Martins.
the main reason as some said is cos he got irritated at having to trick his audience that his sounds from his boutique amps like dumble are fenders.
