I want to buy a crappy used electric guitar to keep in my office. I'll probably never plug it into an amp, so quality is not necessarily an issue. I know that this will differ a lot from state to state, but does anybody have any idea how much a used electric guitar goes for?

would it be possible to find one for less than $100?

I looked at musicians friend. They have several new guitars for $100.

you could go with a new electric for under 100, but u could actually get a higher quality used for the same price. so it really depends on whether u want a brand new but crappyish guitar or a used but higher quality guitar for the same price.

I bought a used Muscians Friend Rogue Tele Copy for 100 bucks, with an inexpensive bag and cord thrown in the deal, at a music store about 6 yrs ago.

Its no Fender, but it plays nice and stays in tune.
Its really lightweight too, easy on the shoulder. I think its just as good as any newer Squire tele. Prob. came from the same factory.

Its the only electric I own right now. Sold my Epi Les P. Custom and old 51' ES125 to help finance a new Mastertone RB3 banjo about 2 yrs ago.

Am now in planning stages for a new axe.
I like Fender twang and Gibson scale necks.
I Also want a hollowbody, or at least a semi-solid.
A trem would be nice, but not necc. essential, would depend on how much I like everything else on the guitar.
The old lady ain't gonna stand for nothing really high end, so right now I'm looking at:
Ibanez Artcores AR75s, w/or w/out trem.
An Epi 335, w/maybe a Bigsby.
or
A Standard tele.w/Bigsby or maybe even a B-bender. (That blonde 50s reissue is my fave but would blow my budget).
Standard Strat w/trem.

I'm really leaning towards the 335 or the Artcore, cause I really like a 24.5 scale. But I get Humbuckers for that.

Anybody know of a similar guitar w/single coil options on it?

if u like tele twang, gibson feel, and hollow bodies then the fender 72 tele (i think thats the name) might be perfect for you. its a little pricier than the others you listed, but theyre sweet. maybe u could find a used one

the official name is the fender 72 thinline tele reisue

If your'e gonna go with anything on that Musicians Friend link, I'd go with the OLP. My friend has one and they have really comfortable necks.
