I have an Ibanez Roadstar II; I bought it at a hock shop for $150 Canadian about 6 years ago. It was my first guitar; and still my favorite. It's from about '79, and sounds just as good as the ones you buy new for $400 now. Pawn / hock shops are the way to go.. Old guitars, provided they were treated nicely by the guy who had it before you, are also good. In the time I've had this one, the only problem I've had was that the electronics start fucking up on me - which only costs about 10$ to get somebody to fix it.
