I turned $15 into about $120 and they got cheap guitars. So, I did a good deed and I helped 2 friends out - the Hondo is being sold for $35 with a set up and new strings to a friend, and etr102 another friend of mine from this forum just gave me $25 for the Ibanez in as-is condition. The Squier only cost me $15 to start with, and I only put a $6.50 pack of strings on and about 3-4 hours of work. I got this guitar today for basically free - I traded a 1987 Squier Bullet 1 HSS MIK model - and the guy gave me $67, the Hondo, a 2002 Ibanez RG120 in need of a bridge saddle adjustment screw and tremolo arm, and a CTS 250k volume pot and US strat trem arm.

The only things I see are a serial number and inspection sticker on the back.

Serial numbers for these guitars follow their respective manufacturers' codes (which both happen to use the first digit to represent the last digit of the year, making them easy to date). I know this is not the 'other S-type guitar forum' section, but I thought posting it here would get me more views/input.
