I want to get another guitar. I currently play a 1986 washburn g-3v. It was a budget guitar in the day and still is. Still is fun to play but still entry level. 
  
Of course I dont want to spend the money for a Gibson S3 or a Fender. 
  
What is the best used guitar value out there. Not looking for investment quality just a step up something I can steal in the $300 - $500 range. Yeah I want to find something that is worth more but only pay a little for it. 
  
Mainly I want an improvement in construction, tuning and the electric components; pickups,switches kobs and jacks. 
  
I posted here cause you have never steered me wrong. 
  
OH BTW car is still running strong and for sale. I just entertained my 57 year old cousing from OK in it. God I love smokin tires.
