My two guitars that feedback the most are my Oscar Shidt and my cheapo 60's pseudo-jaguar

my guitar cost $75. it's really weird, i'll put up a pic sometime...

My sister picked that up for 7 dollars, but she doesn't play guitar.

The left guitar I got for 200 dollars, very very solid, glue on neck, nice pickups, good action, sounds great.

The middle one my dad picked up for 20-25ish, the top pickup doesn't work, but the guitar has a great sound, switches for every pickup, and a lead and rhythm circuit. Very cool sounding guitar.

The right one I got for 150. Thru-neck, good electronics, awesome sustain.

You can pick up used Oscar Schmidts really cheap, new ones are pretty damn cheap already. I did a cool paint job to mine and put new pickups in it.

What are the middle and right guitars?

I got a used tanglewood about 5 years ago but never palayed it and kept it in a shed. Now its pickups are rusted and sounds so fucking dirty,I just got a new squire jagmaster for $250 that also sounds nice

The middle, errr, edit left and right guitars are hondos. The one on the left is a Hondo II. Apparently they are the only 1970's knock-offs to use American P/U's- Dimarzios. It doesn't say Dimarzio on them, so I can't confirm, but they are nice sounding pick ups in my opinion. The one on the left is better for blues and punk type stuff, and the one on the right would be better for post-rock/post-hardcore sort of stuff. I can get really good tones with either.

edit: The middle guitar is Teisco or Teisco-like pseudo-jaguar. Nice surfy sound, gotta remember to buy a trem bar and some 11s for it.

Oops. I meant left and right. Yeah, I think the middle one is a teisco, but the sticker is peeled off so I can't tell.

there's a 2% chance it's something else. Despite not owning one, I love teiscos and can tell one from a foot away (not a mile alas). I think I may have to get one of ebay, there's always a good few for less than $50... bu then the really awesome ones are like 100's. bullocks i say.
