There are some decent larrivee models that are fairly reasonable used and sound like much more expensive guitars.  I have one that would be perfect other than the neck being a bit too thin.  Still, it was worth it for the money.

There's a semi-interesting story about Go Buddy.
About 4 years ago my mom calls me and tells me there is this guitar at an antique store near her house that is only 100 bucks and it looks all something I'd be in to.
I go up to Tin City Antiques and check it out.  I'm baffled by it and buy it on the spot.
Nobody could figure out what kind of guitar it was.  I was sure it was a Hagstrom, other people thought it was a Teisco or possibly an EKO, and if they were a fucking idiot they'd think it was a  Harmony.
So, everyone was clueless and nobody could agree on what it was.
My friend Brendon lost his job shortly after I bought it and decided his new goal in lfe was to find out what kind of guitar it was.  He took tons of pictures of it and sent them to different vintage guitar websites.  I think it was either myrareguitars.com or some place that responded with a for sure answer.  They mailed him a picture of a guitar almost the exact same, the only difference was that it only had two picks ups, not two groups of two for mother fucking humbucking!  I had some rare deluxe version of an already rare guitar.
So... the guitar is a Guyatone from the mid 60s.
It sounds kind of shitty but I still use it.  It's always my back up at shows.

I have the exact same guitar! I got it off of craigslist for $75.

I have never owned a name brand guitar.  I wonder if that means I am just poor or if I don't hang out in the right thrift shops to find $50 Les Paul Jr.'s.
