Good electric guitar for beginners
« on: February 16, 2007, 04:26:59 pm »
Hey, i'm looking to take up guitar. Does anyone know good electric guitars (under $150) that I could get? I'm going to play punk-rock mainly.

Thanks for your help guys!

You can try a Lazer guitar....typical strato but it's made by a company that makes drums. (lol)

Yeah, I'm sure that ugly piece of shit costs less than $150.

That guitar looks awesome, but cheap is the key word here.

Yeah, it's not like Dean guitars are of very high quality, and some of the best guitarists of all time don't use them. If you want cheap, check out your local pawn shop.

If you don't mind electro-acoustic, here's an okay one you can buy online. You can play it either electric or acoustic, but you'll need an amp to play it electric.

Not very punk-rock.

Get a Les Paul, haha.

You can get pretty cheap ones here and there.

Also, Fender Strats. Or Strat copies from other companies.


My personal favourite guitar is the ESP F-500. That and my Ibanez AX-120. Both were customized to my command. These are my children.

£99 is quite a bit more than $150. Our little secret :)

A cheap stratocaster copy is probably what you're looking for... even though they look dull to me...
But just check out a local music store (preferably a guitar store) and tell them what you're looking for. We know soldat... they know guitars.

Two words: Les Paul.

Sure, they're paying me in back copies of Nuts to plug it but honestly, no one is losing.
