Decent Guitar for a sort-of beginner, $325 give or take $50?

I’ve been playing an acoustic for about 7 months, and I’m finally ready to make the jump to an electric. I have learned most basic techniques, but most of the music I listen to (and hopefully the songs I will eventually be able to play) are electric (I play grunge, classic and hard rock, and alternative).

The main thing when it comes to buying your first electric guitar is to get something DECENT, so that you wont struggle against a lousy instrument. One of the most important things, and one of the most overlooked things by young players, in an electric guitar is the type of wood the body is made out of.

The 3rd one is a Squier, which are normally not on my list of good guitars for a kid. BUT… that one is good.

Now, amps…..

Get this one. PERFECT for you, You want to get something with a little reverb to it, and this will be a GREAT amp for you….

So, at MOST you’re spending between both is $400 plus tax. Not bad. And you got some decent quality stuff to learn on, instead of junk

If I was your dad and you were just starting out, this stuff is what I would start you out with before I give you my 1961 Strat
