I can't really spend that much on a guitar atm got to save up for bigger stuff, my band is on hiatus anyway for the time being and I can come back and pick up better gear once I get everything settled in.
Would have been fine but my bro pawned his old guitar and amp that I used.

Really? Why is the frontman bad? I will look more into vypyr.

Shecters are definitely awesome guitars. I would recommend a nice ibanez as well -- I would personally spend about 150 on the amp at most, keep 350 for the guitar dude.

my first amp guitar combo was my favorite and i havent been able to reproduce it since it got jacked in september 1998: fender deluxe 12" combo and gibson firebrand.

my current electric setup: gibson les paul studio ('94ish) and vintage edition crate 12" tube amp ('96ish).

anyways both my amps are worth recommending to a new player and not too expensive used -$250-350 i think?

Schecter is the only guitar company @ the market right now selling good low-end guitars. The schecter c-1 plays like other brands high end ( 700-1000 ) Models.

I myself own two schecters, a c-1 classic, and a c-1 hellraiser FR. Awesome guitars.

The only thing I hate about schecter is their necks for metal compared to Jackson/Charvel, Ibanez, and ESP

Wrong.

Agile/SX probably has the best low enders.

www.rondomusic.com check em out.

I agree, some guys on HC have had problems with some of the agile interceptors though.

They used to have a really sexy baritone 7 string on there that I was checking out for a while.

Sick prices too.

Edit: I would rock the hell out of this one.. wish the had the green one with a fixed bridge.

For your price range, I'd have to recommend an ESP or Schecter.

As for amps, if its just for practice, buy a $100-150 one, possibly a Marshall for starters.

Peavey and Roland may be better choices, but I'm trying to stick with your money

OOoohhh, shiny

and as a general tip, spend at LEAST as much on your amp as guitar, arguably its more important for your tone than the guitar.
