I'm a beginner.. I've been playing acoustic for a little while, I suck, but I really want to get an electric one.

I'm not sure about what I need.. all I know is I need the guitar + amp.

I just wanted to know if you guys had suggestions on a decent guitar to start with, I'm not looking to spend more than about $300-$400 on everything I need.

I just want to get a dependable guitar that will be easy to learn with, and that will last me quite a while..

thanks

What kind of music are you going to dedicate your playing to? Let us know that and answers will flow right away

Ibanez is a very reliable guitar
or you can get a fender squier or something
but i like ibanez and Washburn
but one guitar that i want is a Gretch (its spelt differently)
but they sound RLY good for blues, rock and country
i dont like ocuntry tho

Gretsch? Eh...no, not if he's going to play anything that's heavier than blues.

/E: Unless you wanna sound like Fall out boy LOL

ya thats it
fall out boy rly?
i dont like them at all

but i like the guitars
they sounded rly nice when i played some blues with it

hmm yeah I've heard good things about ibanez

so all I need to get started is the guitar + an amp right?

im so nub

and a chord to attach the guitar to the amp lol
and your also gonna need to buy a tuner
and also one of those Jim Dunlop twisty lil handle things used to string/unstring your guitar
they make it alot easier

twisty lil handle things?

elaborate please!

also.. do you have a specific model in mind that you think would be good for me?

also an amp i guess..

and a cord

the end of it fits onto your tuner handles and its got a handle that spins
almost every guitar store has them at the counter usually
and no i dont have a model for ya
but what i would do is go to a guitar store they out as many guitars as possible
and just buy it
or look it up on eebay if its a lil too expensive and you could get it for cheaper
a good beginner amp may be Fender or Peavey or maybe a lil Behringer
and just get any chord that looks good
except try to get a strong chord
