Hi, I have the cabinet mentioned above, however don't have the amp to go along with it. I inherited a Fender DeVille, then after I sold her, I found the cabinet. There are 2 12inch speakers in there! The only input is the same you would use for a guitar. It says 8(& ohm symbol) then 200 w. My question is, what can I do with it? Guitar CENTER offered 50$, & I'd rather keep em. Any ideas on how to power them, like a received? My current amp is only 70watt. Any info is appriciated.

What are prices ranges for quality Electric guitars? Mention here updated price with brand name and features. Don't forget to share online sources to obtain guitars.
As others have said it is such a broad area, but I can say this..I never had a guitar that cost more than 300$ witch was fine with me, till I inherited a Gibson SG standard, a Gibson SG Special custom, and a Kramer SR-1, all at once! Many people on this site laughed at just how lucky I had been. Now my recomendation would depend on your skill, & experience. You probably wont hear a lick of difference if you are a beginner, nor would you be able to pull out just what a Gibson can do, vs a lesser guitar. However once you got your chops, I absolutely love my SG-standard, & its worth the $. The great thing about G.Center, is you can test em out...and leave. So go see what u like.

Hey Zurf, I know Im repeating myself, but thanks!! You people, or at least the ones Ive had contact with, are great. I guess Ive been jaded by the way I think society's social manners have gone down the tubes in such short time. Im 35 yrs old, and have friends between 20-60yrs old, and can see the difference in every generation. Its a shame, but nice to know I found a place where there are some genuinely cool people. And if ya lived in R.I. id b glad to share the equiptment, and have some jam sessions!
BTW: I never ever have luck like this, and I know just how nice these are, so im able to appriciate them, and id be jealous of myself too! I only mentioned the big things, there are about 12 pedals, an "Akai" riff-o-matic, u400, variable Tempo/constant pitch phrase recorder..wich I havent figured out yet. A Boss JS-5 Jamstation. Id look it up cause it does to many things for me to write down. A Tascam cd-GT1MK2 (fun toys!)

One thing I can say about hearing a difference, I hear a big difference between the cheapie amps I had in the past, and the "Deville", wich is tubbed. I heard of them being superior, but now I know!
Good choice. keep them all. They only gain value. I had a Kramer Striker 600. It was the first guitar I bought over 100 bucks. (in the 80s it was about 375, which in todays market, maybe closer to a 5 to 700 ax). I had to pawn it to survive. I have missed it ever since. Can you post a picture of it or did you find out model and value on it also? If it has HSS and a 5 way switch or the 3 toggels, you can play ANY style of music you want. It was a very versital guitar. Yes I played metal with it, but also Doobie Brothers and Bryan adams. All your guitars will play anything you ask them to. Just set up your amp for the sound you need. NOW chordie ruels,, You had a NGD X3 (NGD= New Guitar Day) so you must post pics. If you need help, someone here can do it for you. I hope you stay with us for your journey. This is one of the best places to take the ride!
That was a very nice msg you sent "beamer", it made me feel welcome, not an outsider for not haveing 30 yrs. experience. So thankyou for that. I will have photo's and serial #'s by the end of the day. I would appriciate your opinion after you see them, because I value your opinion.You(as well as others on this site) have inteligent input and advice, that I am willing to soak up like a sponge. I learned that when u find someone that knows stuff about a subject; shut up, and listen to all they say..and learn.
Thanks again..Pete
it is 12:25 Eastern Time. Pics will b up within the next 4 hrs.

One of the guitars that Jerry Garcia played was an SG. Eric Clapton played one too. And also Jeff Beck. And Angus Young of AC/DC. SG is right at home playing classic rock, don't you worry about that. If you sell the SG for anything other than paying for a surgery for your child or rent for yourself or your sainted mother, you'll kick yourself later. The Kramer might be good in classic rock too, but the brand built its reputation in metal. I've never played one myself.
Thanks a million Zurf!! Thats great info. I am realizing how right you are about getting rid of the SG's, but I need to make a choice between the Standard, and the Special...Whats your opinion? I found a poster that must have came with one of them showing different model Gibsons, and I dont believe there was a difference in pick-ups, or dimeinsions, so Im not sure what makes the Special, "special". As for the Garcia question: thanks, I knew I saw him playing one around "70", but wasnt positive. Im a big "Dead" fan, and love any tid bits that I can find out. I love that "Fat" sound that his guitar has, espicially when he is playing a baseline along with rhythm. Do u think its the guitar, or an effect? Anyone that has not seen these guitar's should look them up. They r a thing of beauity, and musical artwork masterpieces! Its not a single guitar, its kind of a series of them. All look very similar, but some differences. One called "Rosebud", another "Tiger", "Wolf" was the other.All made by Doug Irwin. I believe 2 were auctioned off for an astounding amount, it was a few million. Not 100% sure. Check em out!

Holly Crap, could you rubb my shoulders??? I need some luck like that. Are you sure the SG's are gibsons? if so just call the factory info line and give serial #'s. but for general checking use the internet. www.musiciansfriend.com or guitar center (both owned by the same corp) The black Kramer, I need a modle. it should say on the head stock by the tuners. Kramers are some shred guitars! (as are the SG's) Depending on the make of it. you can look the amp up also.
the amp is going to really be determined by if its an original or reissue and what model there is a wide price spread there.
basic new SG standard 1,200Gibson SG, Special depending on model once again, 5 to 700.
Thanks to everyone who replied! First off, I am cosmically sending you all a bit of that luck I stumbled upon 
Yes, I am a beginer, however I know that they are all genuine, no remakes or fakes. That im sure for a few reasons: After writing that post, I brought it to a reputable shop, to have them checked out, and luck struck again.. they r all the real deal. Good idea about checking the serial# on Gibsons web site! I was wondering why in one of the reply's it was said that the Standard would be worth more than the special..I was told the opposite. Also everyone seemed to be saying that the SG's, and espically the Kramer were "shredder's", Im assumeing a metal style? If thats the case maybe I should sell these in order to get one more suited to my style, wich is classic rock. Does anyone know anything about the guitar's Jerry Garcia played from the 1980's thru the rest of his career. I know they were specially made by Doug Irwin, but does anyone know something that has a similar sound, or how to get it. Thanks again. By the way, anyone that is interested in any of those items, let me know, and I will email some pics and info. He also had litterally hundreds of cd video lessons and books including a series called "The Next Level Guitar" feel free to go to thier website to see the different cd's and if you see one you like, let me know, im sure I got it or if u are looking for something inparticular..let me know.
Thanks all

Hi I am an amature guitar player, or as I call it,.."try-er". I guess I havent been around the right teachers, point is, that being a beginer, the best guitar I had was a 100$ Ibanes and no-name amp. Fine for me, but nothing great. However I just inherited some nice equiptment and was wondering what anyone could tell me..like, price, history, famous owners,etc.. 1)Gibson SG Standard. good cond. Gibson SG, Special, good cond., and a black Kramer that I forgot to write down the info, and not at my immeadiate disposal. But it looks like one of those "heavy metal" two lightning bolts xing. someone told me it was a 7g$ guitar! Could this be true ? Lastly, a Fender, De Ville Amp. Any info is appriciated.
Pete
