My brother has an Ibanez that is really heavy, apparently very rare, because it was an unlicensed knockoff of some 1950's Gibson; they got sued. Only "new" guitar he ever bought to my knowledge. Several he got in a pawn shops, including inital Musicmaster and matching amp. Barney's Pawn shop across the street from Jack's House of Music. He got a fretless Fender bass that is pretty cool for under $200, but that was a long time ago. He kept most everything he ever got, well except for the funky Coral Sitar that he sold when he got a real one, which turned out to be a mistake, because they are super rare and could do some pretty neato effects.
He kept the Chapman Stick, which he claims is harder to play than a guitar or a piano. He has a lot of musical instruments, an accordian, sax, trombone, various estate sale and pawn shop scores
I think the Ventures are going into the Rock and Roll HoF at the same time as Madonna.
