However I have come to really like these two guitars, and have made a few minor upgrades (Ratio Tuners and Earvana nut and threaded insert neck fixings) and they now find themselves getting played a LOT.
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.
Stockist of: Earvana & Graphtech nuts, Faber Tonepros & Gotoh hardware, Fatcat bridges. Highwood Saddles.
Pickups from BKP, Oil City & Monty's pickups.

1: a Boult-branded Aiersi Strat copy I picked up for peanuts from Alan George Guitars on Facebook. It has what seems to be a legit mahogany (or something so close to mahogany as makes no difference) body and a really nice maple-boarded neck with a reverse headstock. The tone is what I'd have expected from a guitar costing 3-4 times as much; the body profiling is pretty poor, but given how good everything else is I'm thinking to find someone with a belt sander to work on the belly contour and the shoulder curve and it'll be one damn nice little Strat type.
and
2: my Harley Benton doubleneck. Mahogany everything, Wilkinson hardware throughout (even the 12-string neck keeps immaculate tune) and very nice playability. It is stupidly good for the money - if things like this had been available when I was 15, I'd have badgered my parents into getting me one and then died of Vitamin D deficiency due to never having left the house again.

I had gone to buy a Squier Jagmaster, but the PRS was next to it on the wall for a very good price, and I just thought ‘why not?’ If I don’t like it I can probably sell it for a good profit and buy the Squier for the difference... but I did like it, and played them ever since. Never owned a Jagmaster.

Squier Esquire from 2020 - similar, such fun and very easy to play, well made, and great sounds
and as @Winny_Pooh says, GS Mini - after 2 hours in Andertons looking at acoustics under £800 for an 18th present for my daughter I picked this up and all the others including Martins and PRSs were outclassed in sound and playability
But it isn't. It is remarkably playable.
It has no right to sound, play and look this good for just €240.

Lovely and resonant , holds tune and pickups sound great, lots of travel on the tone knob....
Well happy
Fits my hand like it was made for me but has me thinking about the Yamaha Pacifica tele and the SG because, whilst I like bottom feeding, I “need” a better guitar with which to express my lack of musicality.
Never heard anything like it since.
I don't remember any name on it. Gorilla rings a bell, but I think it was worse than that even.
As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb
Ah, man that's the one I think!
Tube blaster haha, I knew it was something like that. Turbo drive
Is that one yours?
I remember they had a really naughty squeal when you dug in and pinch harmonics everywhere.
That takes me back, cheers!
That and a westone spectrum thing.
Things got a bit expensive from that point onward.
