HELP!!! need a new guitar.

foxyloxy

ok guys i need a new guitar but i don't know what to buy i want a mustang first up, but i dont know if i can find one (not very common in Australia) but i would not mind any jaguars/jazzmasters/duosonics/cyclones. i have also been looking at squier supersonics and the 50's duo-sonic reissue. i have about 800-1000 ***Australian*** $$$'s so what would other people recommend also a place where i could buy it.

thanks

Well, I can't help you on where to find any of them. Robbmonster might have a hint or two though (being Aussie himself 😉 )

But go for a Mustang if you can find one, they are simply amazing. The new Squier Duo is really nice too. A lot simpler (elecronically) than the Mustang.

see the favorite fenders for recommendations, this site is mostly jag, then jazz, then mustang and mustang types. as for where to buy in australia, no clue....

I think robb found that for mustangs it was cheaper to buy on us ebay and pay the shipping, worked out a lot cheaper

yea but i want to play it before i buy it, but if it comes down to it i will just get one off ebay or i have seen some second hand jags one at a local shop (but not very cheap).

If you get a Mustang, you won't be dissappointed 😉

its just WAY to hard buying stuff like that off the net, my dad would never spend that much over the internet. i don't have any way to pay other than that..... but a few months ago i found a guy who was selling 2 (one black one Antigua) but $1000 dose seam a bit much for a second hand, but meh i will ask him any way.

... how the #### are people who dont live in australia going to have better luck than one who does???

becasue Australia has very big tax on "luxury" item, if you live in most other places you have the option of shipping. Australia is an island in the middle of no where, need i go on?

I DO have hints for him, Pete, good call...

Foxy, you're in Victoria... go to Real Guitars in Geln Iris, Melbourne. They have THREE CIJ Mustangs hanging on their wall ranging from $845 to $955. Not sure exactly what models though...
