Think it through!

Let's just do a little math here.......

Look at what you get.....http://www.musiciansfriend.com/stupid
Price them all out as separates.......
Add them up.......
Realize that the amp goes for $149
Subtract off the prices of the accessories
Realize that the guitar is essentially worthless

Sell said guitar to local kid for $10 (make his day)

Enjoy the ampand accessories and feel good about what you did for some kid who'd never have the chance to have a guitar.

that is a deal.

i've never tried one of those flat-top, bolt on neck Epi LP 100's, but they've gotta be a halfway decent guitar. at least good enough to mod on.

worthless??? i think not! i could squeeze ten bucks worth out of that thing!! (sorry kid!)that surely is a sweet deal for a connoisseur of cheapness like myself!
unfortunately i just broke ranks and bought a DRRI!

Buy it, play it and if you don't want to keep it - hello eBay.

I guess. Sounds like a lot of work. I'd rather just drop the two bucks on something I actually want...

I'd buy two of them just do give the guitar away but I just spent a boat-load upgrading the PA set-up and am completely tapped out right now.
Wifey is getting that look on her face if ya know what I mean.

I'd be more inclined to keep the guitar, gig bag, and strap. Prop it up on the stand. Send the tuner to my buddy that insists he tunes better by ear. Use the Valve Jr as a paper weight.
