Best guitar for the money?

I bought this one new and I've owned several. This is the nicest.
Plays like a dream. Love the necks and playability.
Some people like the pickups but not me. I gut them along with new electronics.
Get the CT series, they sound best. Having limited PRS choices being lefty, PRS can blow me.
Carvin is lefty friendly.
They get a bad rap, but I can't find anything with the CT series to bitch about other than pickups.
This is a CS6.

I had a AE for about 10 years...loved it for the first 5, then (after getting a J45 & a Strat) neglected then flipped it. I could see me in a solid body but upgrading the pickups....would love to order again, but the used prices are stellar

In the lower price range- some of the Yamaha Pacificas and in the middle price range - I agree Carvin's hard to beat.

The best guitar for the money IMO is a 1970s Yamaha acoustic. They sound great and can be bought for $100 bucks in any pawnshop. That is my insider trading tip of the day.

That is a good one. Fond memories of these from growing up in LA in the 80's and shopping for guitars as a teenager in "The Recycler" they were 100.00, then too. Solid! I can almost remember the model # that you see a lot.. classic..

Don't have a good picture of the CT4 by itself, so here's an action shot. It's black everything with maple binding on the body.

The gold top CS6 and trans black DC400 are really nice looking.
 
I hate the carvin headstock and I find it funny looking the way they round the edges. To me, the best guitars for the money was the Charvel ProMods, but the Japan Plant just shut down
