Washburn House of Blues

Just in case anyone is interested, ConsumerDepot.com has the Washburn "House of Blues" fat strat copy for $69.00 plus $6.00 shipping. It also comes with a cheap little "practice" amp, unless you choose one of the "demo" models for $59.00. There's also an acoustic offered for $59.00. Now, in no way am I saying this is a "great" deal, but if you need a decent starter guitar for a friend or a relative, or just a cheapie to goof around with - this might a consideration. I first saw these at Best Buy earlier this year, I didn't think that they were all that bad - they're considerably better than the First Act brand that you see at discount stores.
