In my book $279 rates 'inexpensive', but not really cheap.
This Scrapocaster was cheap — £110 (about $165) including a lovely chunky neck in figured maple (a bit over-varnished but I can live with that) and a tappable Tonerider humbucker. This has actually become my go-to gigging guitar and can cover all the bases I need to hit. I might even treat it to a couple of better single coils which will elevate it into the 'inexpensive' bracket, but at least I can swap them out again if I sell the guitar.
I'm thinking about one of these next — Tele + P90, ready to go. I've got some decent saddles and a Duncan bridge pickup in the bits drawer.

A teardrop for $279? Who makes it?

I got this ES-345 copy for $150 brand new. It had a stop tailpiece when I got it, I added the Bigsby. It plays great and sounds as good as any Gibson semi-hollow I've ever played.
I'm pretty sure it was made it the Peerless factory --- fit and finish are superb.

I love cheap guitars but they're addictive, almost dangerously so. Rondo music is like crack to me. If I'm not careful I can dump enough money into buying and modding cheap guitars instead of getting just one or two really good guitars.

Anne

If I was looking to buy a new guitar for $200, I'd probably be on the hunt for a used 50s CV Tele. But this teardrop is tempting. Wonder why they don't do it in white?
-
Anne
WOW , you read my mind on that Strummer ,,,,,, if they have one tomorrow when i order it , i will have it painted white

Anne
i bought Diggeys Harmony Rocket for 350 the other day , and that seemed like a good price , i dont know why someone didnt grab that sooner

Oh it's definitely fun, but easily gets out of control.
