    Well I was talking to a guy i used to know and he tol me he had an old guitar he wanted to sell. well i jokingly said id give him 20 bucks for it and he said deal. I thought no matter what it was for 25 i oculd atleast have fun messing around with it......... Im so stupid.... Its a Lyon buy washburn strat copy.... i looked on the inside of the guitar and the body isnt even wood, sad to saw plywood would have been a better option.. it was a hard plastic now im scambling to get my money back becuase well i need al the cash i can get... im so regreting this and it was only 25 bucks but man i need it back haha

    Always consult the wise men at the Fret first, Grasshopper.

    If it is at all playable and you can dial it in so that it plays better then you can surely sell it around town for that price.

    25 bucks for me is going to the zoo with my kids have a coke and some fries.

    You should have invested those 25 bucks into a Danelectro FAB Overdrive pedal and the fun would have been guaranteed plus you had some change for a visit at the Mc Drive :-)

    Why not keep it??? Try some mods out on it, abuse it...throw it in your car and use it as a travel/practice guitar. I mean...whatever happens to it *shrug* no biggie, it was only $25!
