I just ordered a new guitar, and I'll be getting it in the post in the next few days!
The guitar I just bought
I paid for it all with my own money. Part of which I got by installing an engine on a bicycle and selling it at a profit, and the rest from helping someone to sell his car online.
What do you think of it? I chose it for the following reasons.
Humbucker Pickup (main reason)
Higher Pitch Range (compared to my current nylon string guitar)
Cherry Sunburst (my favourite colour!)
Sound (I like the sound of it!)

Yea, it's an acoustic electric, but with an electric guitar style pickup (humbucker, like les paul), and electric guitar style knobs

Thank you! I think this guitar is going to give me a lot of flexibility (and fun!) :3

That looks great, buddy! Seems like it'll be really useful.
I have a little acoustic guitar in my possession, but its strings are completely beat-up and almost unusable. Thats why if I'm trying to get an acoustic guitar sound, I usually just use an unplugged Fender - it may sound more wooden, but it usually works.

The guitar was supposed to be here by today, so I rang the guys up and the shop, and apparently they still haven't received their guitar from Epiphone! So now I'll have to wait even longer

Well that sucks :'(

It looks really good. Epiphone is a great company.
I'll give it to you for free...
$600 postage and handling :3
And yes, epiphone is awesome you can get legendary Gibson guitars for a fraction of the price (albeit made in china and stuff).

I got it today finally, and it's awesome. I'll need to get an adaptor to hear the pickup, but the acoustic sound is awesome!

Haha, I was only kidding. I have a pretty nice guitar already
Epiphone is basically the cheaper Gibson. There is hardly any noticeable sound difference. And often the quality is just as good too!

I have a G-310 that I paid like 200-something dollars for. It has an interesting design on the body and it sounds fine. The only problem I've had with it is that it really needs a right angle cable; straight ones loosen the nut around the output jack and are annoying
I've also got a Telecaster that I paid like 200-something for also. I picked it out because of its paintjob also. I don't think I'd even held it before I decided to clear out my piggybank for it. That is what happens when you buy your guitars as a 10 year old. I've been meaning to try to sell it back for credit toward a new guitar that doesn't look so awful to play in front of others but it has sentimental value still

What color is it and how much would you sell it for

I showed you a picture (It's orangey, brownish, and pink I guess???) and I'd probably sell it for less than 150 (A little over half of what I paid e_e) because that's probably what someone would pay for it. It's pretty ugly and not particularly nice sounding and the neck+fretboard are a little awkward for my hands (And I've gotten used to my SG so the weight of the tele is also a little awks)

A fender tele? What year model?

Oh ok.
