My $30 Facebook Marketplace Score

Gary Blanchard

beloved, local musician
I have been looking at Facebook Marketplace for fun, not expecting to buy anything, but I came across this a few weeks ago for $30. I am not familiar with Laguna guitars, but I thought it would be different than my Telecaster. It was dirty when I got it, and had an area on the top that didn't quite clean up well. I cleaned it up, restrung it, adjusted the truss rod, and put a sticker over the part that wasn't looking as good. Then I added a strap that I had sitting around. It sounds great through my Vox amp, and it is easy to play. I made a nice score.

Looks good for $30. Laguna used to be Guitar Center’s house brand. Lots of them were sold in packages along with a Line 6 Spider amp.
