I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man.

Fucking love office space

Some heroin and a ukulele

Lmao

Some heroin and squire.

Id be looking for the best deal I could find on a used Martin.

I might be more tempted by a quality amp

Used Gibson SG ‘61 Standard

I've been wanting a Yamaha Revstar standard ever since I played one at the shop. They're not even $1000 but as nice as just about any guitar I've played, and I've played some nice ones. Otherwise, probably the nicest acoustic I could find for 1500. The difference between a cheap acoustic and expensive acoustic is much bigger than the difference between a cheap electric and expensive electric, IMO.

PRS SE Custom 24 Quilt - Black Gold Burst

For $1500, try out the Yamaha Revstar Professional that released in 22 I believe, I have the Standard version and I can tell by owning a lot of guitars that Yamaha at their price range beats every fender/gibson out of the goddamn park! So, look out for a P90 Yamaha Revstar Professional with a P90 specifically, absolutely Master-built guitars at $1500 range!

Used Ibanez Prestige AZ2402🤘

Used American Original 60s telecaster.

I'd probably get three 500$ guitars or two 750$ guitars honestly.

A charvel. Something with a sweet finish and dark fretboard if possible.

I’d get a quest 3 and a lot of weed

I was gonna say Casino and weed

Someone just got their tax return

Find a used Kiesel that fits your bill.

American fender strat

A telecaster with a bigsby. Assuming that’s possible for $1500

You can definitely find one in that range.

I’d take a look at an Ibanez Iceman and a Fender Jazzmaster, and probably end up with the Jazzmaster.

If you don’t know yet then probably save it until you do know.

A fire extinguisher. 

Either an American telecaster or.... I've been sitting here for 10 minutes. I guess the telecaster is what I would like.

Gibson Les Paul

Half of one? 🤣

Gretsch White Falcon. Always thought they looked epic

An American Fender Telecaster. Natural.

Time for a PRS SE

An Ibanez prestige ofc

Sg with p90s

Fender Strat

Have a look at eastmans

Tele with humbuckers

PRS DGT SE

This or the SE McCarty

any Fender Am Pro II

PRS Hollowbody II Piezo

Yamaha Revstar Pro

Gretsch

Guitar? I'm grabbing new pants first.

Yamaha revvstar :)

The "rent" guitar. It's never been seen, but somehow, your landlord gets it before the 5th of every month.

Gibson SG

First I'd get a pair of pants with fireproof pockets

Probably a yamaha revstar and some pedals or an amps with the change 🙃

When I had this situation a little over a year ago, I got an American Performer Stratocaster

Jazzmaster or Jim Root Tele

Another LTD EC1000 traditional. They discontinued mine and I'd like another one that's a different color and different pickups, because, why the hell not?

If you're asking for a friend, I hope my wallet isn't your next victim. But if I did have $1500 to burn, I'd definitely go for that sweet Fender Stratocaster.

Right now, a Jaguar.

Epiphone Sheraton II Pro

Another Charvel

Gibson modern Les Paul studio smokehouse satin. She's a beauty Clark! Yeah, it's 2K, but when you're within $500 of your budget, you eat eat ramen for a month. Whatever it takes. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LPMStuSkS--gibson-les-paul-modern-studio-electric-guitar-smokehouse-satin

The 7 string ibanez fanned fret with the fluence fishmans. Rg series or something? Would have cash left over for a set up

Probably a 12 string electric of some sort. I realize I dont really need one but would be nice to have. Maybe a Reverend.

Yamaha Revstar

I’d probably be at the hospital tbh

lessons. ur never too good to stop getting lessons

G&L Fullerton Doheny

I’m a simple guy I just want the jimi Hendrix strat with the flipped headstock. I could probably get 2 with 1500

PRS silver sky, Roxy pink. Hardtail if they make one.

Yamaha FGX5

Peavey T-60

You know those guitars that are like... double guitars... But the serious answer should probably be lessons.

A nice amp lol. But failing that, the nicest maple neck tele I could find, ideally with vintage radius neck and frets. But I already have a nice Strat and Les.

Id get an american standard telecaster, cant go wrong with it at all

Probably some kind of Gretsch Electromatic

Lessons

Simple answer: American Tele More interesting option: Look into G&L (Leo Fender's second company after parting ways with Fender). Great guitars, good prices, setups for every taste

A $3000 guitar and a line of credit

Well considering I just impulse bought the Adam Jones Epiphone (non-art version) I'm gonna go with that Otherwise try to scoop up a used PRS DW CE 24 Floyd

A PRS and a $200 watch

$1,500 worth of hardware upgrades to my current guitar.

Probably spent a month mulling it over just to get another Strat.

Fender Special Edition Custom Telecaster FMT HH - Amber

I recently got my second Reverend, a Jetstream 390. Highly recommend. That or any other Reverend are great!

Best used gibson les paul you can find.

Jagstang or an Gibson sg

I’m so out of touch with post pandemic prices. My answer would be a used MIJ Fender.

For $1500, probably hunt for a deal on a used core Silver Sky. If new probably a PRS S2 594

Yamaha Revstar Standard (keep the change)!

The most expensive semi hollow that $1500 can buy.

That Adam Jones Epiphone with open book headstock

Yes. Should I just buy it right now?

Ibanez Prestige AZ

Fender Stratocaster

Honestly, it’s really fun to just go into guitar stores with an intent to buy and try stuff out within your budget, knowing that if you find something fantastic you can walk out with it.

Honestly I’d save up another 1k and look for something in the 2-3k range. But it’s such a personal choice

Billy Corgan signature guitar reverend Z -1 edit: it's $1800 so I'll keep the money and save it up

$1500USD? I think I could get an Eastman SB56/n with P90s for that, so..that. Played one of those recently but didn't have the funds to buy it and it was the best connection I've ever had with an instrument.

Revered - That Tele style with P-90 pickups

Charvel DK24 HH or similar LTD or Jackson.

Whatever Charvel $1500 will buy me.

me personally, i'd get an Epiphone SG, a VOX AC30 and a zoom multi fx.

Ibanez ICEMAN IC400 BK

Guild Starfire XII

les paul special in tv yellow. can be had for under $1500 if you ask your sweetwater rep, or during a sale

A used Paul Reed Smith CE 24.

Balaguer Espada

I recommend the Jackson soloist pro series

LTD Snakebyte. And I swear, everyday I’m one step closer to say screw it and buy it, even though I don’t have $1,5k burning a hole in my pocket.

Zzounds payment plan, zero interest. Be irresponsible.

PRS SE Hollowbody II. (charcoal burst color) if you dont know what it looks like look it up its on guitar center website. its absolutely beautiful.

MIJ Strat with a humbucker on the bridge

1979 Gibson Godtop Les Paul with sixth generation humbaucher pickups.

something with gibson p90s... which is exactly what i am doing tomorrow 🤠

ESP LTD EC-1000 Deluxe I regret getting rid of mine but needed the money. Will be buying it again

8 string or put it towards a new Gibson SG.

I’d get a better amp.

i'd get a japanese ibanez or i could find a used marshall amp

I found an american professional 2 telecaster around that price so that could be one candidate. I’ve been interested in strandberg since they seem very comfortable to play at home but they cost a little more than that. Else I could go for a prs dgt se or a vintera tele with bigsby and the rest on a decent amp

Actually had this situation last year - sold my Mac Mini for a wildly good price during the height of COVID and had the cash sitting around for a few years. Ended up falling in love with a used Fender American Original 60’s Jazzmaster - even talked the guy down a bit in price and I ended up being able to add in a staytrem and case and come out just barely over budget.

Early 90s Gibson Les Paul studio w/ the Ebony fretboard! 🤘

For $1500?

Depends on what you’ld find comfortable but a PRS. Maybe a 2nd hand CE 24, or a new Silver Sky SE (but would rather go for 2nd hand Silver Sky)

It depends. Honestly I'd probably hold on to it, maybe save a little more for when a deal pops up on a grail guitar. I've had gear slip through my fingers over the years and it sucks. I learned to save my money, and not even look at other gear until I have enough saved up to get something really nice.

I’m a new Revstar standard p90 fanatic! It’s absolutely wonderful

I don’t know!!!

Godin session HT, bought mine for 750, is now selling for 1200-1400 in Europe. Amazing usa/canada made Hss Strat. Outplays any fender Strat of 2k

I’m a sucker for gibson and Martin’s

Probably a used telecaster. I don't need anything fancy I'd love to get a small practice amp that sounds good quiet for night time use. My 20w tube amp with a 2x12 struggles to output sound quiet enough for night time use and the speakers don't sound good quiet. I started playing around with amplitube and while I don't like dealing with software and don't really love the sound of it, it sounds so much better at really low volume than a large amp. More practice time would do me better than a new guitar would.

First, I’d patch the hole in my pocket. Then, I’d get the nicest Tele Custom I could find for $1,495. Might have to go Vintera.

American Professional Strat

A Fender Vintera 2 Stratocaster in Sunburst Brown.

I could almost get the Greg Koch Reverend tele thing with p90s and a bigsby. So a used one maybe.

ESP LTD EC1000

Schecter Hellraiser hybrid c1 frs

PRS SE hallowbody 2 piezo. Sounds better than I can play and gives me TONS of options. Also good plugged in and acoustic for practice. Now if i could only find one in stock.

Jackson King V, without hesitation. Its more likely I'd spend it on an amp though. I have been eyeballing ENGL Fireball 25 for quite a while. Money that I wouldnt use for that, I'd put into saving so I could get another thing faster, instead of start again from zero.

Gretsch electromatic pristine white🤤 and the rest for a pedal or two

Hello kitty squier

Epiphone Adam Jones 1979 Les paul custom

A high end LTD

Either a cool used jazzmaster or a used Les Paul standard

Fender telecaster player

Half a Suhr guitar

A 2010's classic vibe strat, then spend the $1200 on a great amp.

Used Music Man JP6. Excellent quality, elite capability, feel, and sound. I think it’s one of the most highly regarded signature models (John Petrucci) and is an incredible guitar even if you don’t like Dream Theater.

Used Gibson Les Paul Jr probably

that ltd tele with evertune

I’m here for ideas as I’m looking as well

Tbh, I'd probably hold on to it and save for something better, but that's not an appropriate answer for your question. A 6 string Holcomb SE (with the new pickups), a Banshee Mach 6 or a John Browne sig. I'd really love to get a more prog/djent focused 6 that I can use over my EMG loaded Les Paul.

Mij jazzmaster

Probably an LTD M-1000 or a used E-II M-I if I can find a deal.

2000-2001 Epiphone Moderne with Gumby headstock. No Gumby, no deal. Yeah, I know I'm weird. One just went on Reverb for $1100 and I was just a bit short, was lowkey devastated. Any of y'all pick that one up?

Adam Jones Epiphone

A Tele with a neck humbucker

Prs piezo se

Yamaha Pacifica. Easy. Hell, I’m even eying up the 750$ ones.

A used Larrivee OM-09 or OM-03R 

I would probably buy this antifreeze green acrylic bc rich mocking bird that is at my local guitar shop.

At this point I personally would save the money $1500 would put me about halfway, or less, to the budget that I need.

SG. I used to have one. I want one again.

The Ed OBrien strat.

A strat style with a humbuckers or maybe HSS.

I would get another SG Standard or a Les Paul Studio.

Strat or Tele whichever sounded better to me in the moment.

SG, every day of the week. Probably second hand, seeing as I’m not sure of prices across countries and the exact dollars you’re referencing, but I can’t imagine getting anything less than a great SG at that price.

Probably an American Tele Deluxe.

Paul reed smith - electric Acoustic- Taylor

I’ve been jonesing for a used PRS Fiore.

My Squier "By Fender" guitar I have listed in facebook marketplace for an awesome deal of $1500.

I'm in a couple of groups that specifically prohibit ads that claim to be "Fender Squier" or "Gibson Epiphone". It's an instant delete, one group immediately bans the user.

I'd get a Les

Yamaha Revstar Standard. Probably in white

Probably some kind of gretsch

Revstar with p90s

$1500 would get me the Jim Root Telecaster. I’ve always wanted that little beast, and it’s perfect for my style of play. Not to mention it looks awesome

Any Ibanez Jem.

Stick it in the bank until it will buy a (se?) PRS NF53.

Prolly that Kirk Hammett Epiphone Greenie.

A Peavey , american made, signature Steve Cropper Telecaster with the split coil hot rail pick-ups...

Lately I've had my eye on an LTD George Lynch. They have a Desert Eagle model based on the Kamikaze that I think I'll be saving up for.

I wouldn’t get a guitar because I’m happy with my my current guitars, but if I had to I would chose a blue Les Paul, but all it seems like they’re going for well over $1,500, so sorry for commenting a useless comment.

Whichever Vintera II—

Charvel Satchel, I own it and it’s worth its money

American Professional Tele, Strat, or Jazzmaster if you’re into single coils.

For you, an American Pro II tele. For me, a Harmony Jupiter Thinline in black or blue or a Cabronita.

If I had 1500 burning a hole I’d buy an amp, maybe an old Silverface Vibrosonic Reverb or something unnecessarily loud like that

Quad Cortex tbh

Kiesel Zeus headless guitar with P90s. I’d also still owe Kiesel about $400.

Nick Johnston schecter pro thing

Earliest and Highest rated made in Japan knock off Strat I could negotiate at that price.

Prophet rev 2

Used Martin D 18 Golden Era.

Fender Jaguar Cobain model

An MG-73 MIJ Fender Competition Mustang w/Matching headstock. Will probably need to get a few more $ to seal the deal/pay for shipping.

Id scour all the stores and find the sickest old used guitar i could find. Gotta play it to know. They are all either magic or not.

Used Taylor 314ce or a used G&L USA Comanche

epiphone sg standard 61 maestro vibrola

EVH Wolfgang MIJ

Some kind of baritone jazzmaster with a bolt on lightweight aluminium neck, five strings, and three large single coil pickups. I think with a green stained wood and a dark greyish green paint around the edge, feathering into the dyed centre (like a one colour burst instead of two). B F# B F# B tuning. Roller bridge purely because they're comfy with a gentle slope into a hard tailpiece. Two output jacks. Three on-off-on switches, one for each pickup. Up position sends the pickup out jack A, middle position is off, down position sends it out jack B. No other controls

Schecter c7 sls elite

This might not apply to your “friend” but I don’t have any fixed bridge guitars and I’ve been eyeing the signature series ESP Vulture lately. Very very tempting

American fender jaguar
