Favorite used electric guitar under $400?

old Guyatones - the ones with the oversized single coils and headstock bigger than the one on a P-Bass (ooh, the sustain). turn one of the gajillion switches into a phase switch (if there's not one already) and you've got Hound Dog Taylor, Gang of Four, Sonic Youth, all in one. I should add, however, that build quality is a complete crapshoot and the tuners and bridge will have to be replaced...more of a platform for serious experimentation than "you mean i need to put new strings on it?" type thing.
