What's The Word On Brownsville Guitars?
I'd never heard of these until yesterday
when i ran across a couple on Craigslist.
And i just happened upon another one... this LP style:
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv...518833495.html
So what's the deal w/ Brownsville?
Are they any good?

It's been a while, I remember those. I've always known those to be so-so, but that's all I know about them.

Yeah... i figured.
They've been showing up left & right
on Craigslist over the last few days.
From different sellers too.
I guess lots of Brownsville owners
need some extra Christmas cash.

If you could pick one up dirt cheap it might be an interesting modding platform.

I don't know if I'd pay $85, but for $65 I'd certainly check it out. If the neck is straight and the body seems resonant, I'd buy it and swap out hardware as needed.

There's a really nice &
flamey LP on CL today.
No headstock pic though. 
I'm working on another Squier deal
right now anyway though, so... |

It is weird they all pop up now. The flame top is a beaut though.

Yeah... not bad, right?
But if the headstock blows,
it wouldn't even matter.
Always a deal breaker for me,
especially w/ Les Paul copies. |
