What guitarist hasn't got GAS? I figure it's an occupational hazard. wink

Before COVID-19, I'd cruise the local pawn shops, but never got deals like you! I was mostly looking for spare instruments, so I'd have something I could leave at church that was playable.

At this point, I really don't need much of anything, other than to start playing what I've got.

Yeah the pickup on the Bronco is lightweight. But the neck! Oh man it’s perfect. Solid maple with spot on fret work. I have some pretty expensive acoustic guitars and the neck on this Bronco is the best in my fleet of stringed instruments. Fretwork is absolutely amazing. To buy a neck that is this nice from Warmoth or elsewhere would be several hundred dollars.

I buy mostly from Facebook Marketplace. In a city the size of Colorado Springs, there’s usually a couple guitars that are posted with something like
‘Needs a string’ in the description. Those are the ones I go for. Missed out on a Squier with an SG body last week for $20. Those are supposed to be pretty solid guitars for Frankenstein builds
