Greetings Guitar Smarts listeners!

This week Kiran and Matt are competing in the £300 Gigging Guitar challenge.  Here is the rub:

You've just had a tax rebate to the tune of £4,500! Unfortunately, the car needed an MOT, the lounge needed new carpets and there was a water leak under the orangery. After all is fixed and a family holiday is booked, you're left with just £300 to spend on a new axe good enough for gigging. But what can you get? You have chosen 2 possible routes:

1. Find a brand new bargain axe for less than £300.
2. Buy something second hand, and spend the change making some upgrades to improve it.

Come and listen to find out how the lads did! For our US listeners, at the time of writing £300 is equal to about $420, so give this a go yourself with that budget.
