The first one is called an Ivy IP 300 TSB probably an attempt at PRS yet its solid made in Vietnam all mahogany neck thru maple top.
From just playing on it for $250 yea even the pickups are not bad.
Hes gonna install pickups and new pots wiring new bridge brass.
The tuners are top notch.
Second one is tele clone from some company called effin guitars alder body rosewood fret this was used $185 this is the project upgrade.
Just amazed at for the price you pay then few hundred in upgrades you are still ahead in saving cash.
Just putting this out there if youre looking.

(6,125 posts)The quality of import guitars and parts and pedals is amazing these days. Harley Benton is another great budget brand - heard mostly great things about them.
You and your son rock on with those new acquisitions.

(69,656 posts)The IRK-300. They're on backorder with Amazon with no projected availability.
Only $169. If they had a 12 string version, I'd order one and take my chances I'll get one eventually.
I looked at their website. Pretty sharp guitars for the money.
