Hi, I live in Argentina :( and here all music-related is very expensive. My Drummer doesnt have decents Cymballs, but now he is in an one-week competition and the price are Zildjian Cymballs :D. You can help him with just one vote, here [URL]http://apps.facebook.com/easypromos-premium/entries/3321[/URL] . My Friend is called Gonza Miñana , just go down in the list and click "Votar" (vote).
We have a hard rock band. I worked one year and i bought my lovely Kramer Striker guitar. Its $600 dolars here , but it was worth the price. So if you can help him to win the competition, it will be cool :D

Just make electronic music if you're cheapo
4 guitarists!!!
Are you kidding me? :o
Also, those amps are way too small to play along with a drumset.
EDIT:
Whoops, looks like 3, I thought you guys were going without a bassist.
Why would you ever need 3 guitarists
Thats an old pic of a small gig in our school thats why we didnt use big amps, it was only for 3 songs. We are two guitarrist, the other is a friend that played one song with us.

Have you heard of Oceansize? They've split up now, but they had three guitarists. One of them would sometimes switch to piano, but oftentimes all three were playing together - And they managed to do a lot of interesting stuff that way.

Silver Apples was a band with one drummer and a vocalist/oscillator.
Goes to show what you really need to make some top class rock music.

Country bands almost always have four guitarists, and one bassist, and you can't hear any of them. I'm referring more to pop country that you'd see on featured on The Tonight Show.
If you're a poor musician then I can already see your first problem.
3 guitarists.
Think about if you get paid for doing a gig. Are the two extra guitars really adding enough to the music to have to split the bands pay into 6 as opposed to just 4?
We are two guitarrist, that one was an invited. We arent poor really, but the drummer hasnt got good cymballs, we only need a few votes to win, so i thought that you could help us, but if you dont want its ok , its not the end of the world, i will thank you for reading instead :P
buy Sabians? they're cheap and durable
Yeah, I know, but it would be cool to win the contest. Thanks you, I really appreciate your wasted time reading this post.

ah I'm just giving you a tip, I've voted for you either way
Thanks you :)
Use cheap equipment and you can the Grunge/Garage sound down easy. Nirvanaish sound that is. Also look into "copies" of name brand guitars (Gibson copies, Fender Copies, ect.) that's what the bassist form Joy Division did. If your looking for better sounds from a cheap instrument try something like the PANDORA PX4D, it'll increase your sound quality a good amount. Another tip is ALWAYS look for used stuff Craigslist, Ebay, Yard Sales, Music stores look everywhere. Most of the time the price will go down greatly if it's used even if there are only some small dings on the instrument. That's how I got my Fender USA Jazz Bass for $700 instead of $1300.
P.S. You've got my vote.
I don't know how much the raw materials would cost you but I build guitars to cure my insatiable GAS because it's so much cheaper than buying factory guitars for the same quality instrument.
It's an easy way to save money if you're decent with woodcutting tools. I built my first guitar with a chisel, drill, screwdriver, and sandpaper (plus some cheapo chinese hardware) so it doesn't take a lot of tools if you're any decent with this shit.
Rumor has it Carl Thompson, one of the greatest luthiers I've ever seen, started in a similar manner, building his first instrument with minimal equipment.
2 guitars killed the bass.
You have 3.
