What is the best electric guitar to buy for a relatively new guitarist?!
Question: Hey-
I am a relatively new guitar player, but I'm absolutely in love with the instrument. For the past few months I've been playing with my mom's old acoustic nylon Orlando guitar and its good-I'm not very picky. But I would LOVE to have an electric. What is a good guitar for someone like me?
Obviously if I had thousands of dollars on hand I would get the awesomely sick Gibson custom shop les paul or the gibson flying v shred or a sick dean...but ya I'm not really there yet.
Help?
Thanks
:)

i suggest you get a fender squire strat pack to learn on.
it contains a fender strat squre, an amp, cords, strap,tuner,all you need to start. the whole deal is about 200 bucks.
be sure to get the one with the 15R amp,youll be glad later you did.get more prices here : www.samash.com

The flying V's are too hard to play sitting down :(
Just try to find a Mexican Fender Stratocaster.
Can't never go wrong with it, it's just SOMETIME you are going to have to upgrade and get an American made one.
A Red Fender
I started with a Fender Squire and I've not really played one thats better for the price. Here in England you can pick one up new for around ￡100 (approx $200). That will buy you the guitar, fender practice amp and instruction booklet.....an absolute bargain IMO. Hope this helps.
yer don't go with a flying V just yet because they are for live players and not really for practising. I would go for a fender myself because they are incredible rugged and there isn't really anything on them to hold you back set up wise like a bent neck or a bad tremolo. Try one of these style http://www.dvguitars.com/invt/46340/ this would be a strat but you could also go for a Telecaster. However you didn't say about how much you are wanting to spend so you may want a fender copy Peavy perhaps? ive had mine 10 years and fell down the stairs about that many times and nothing at all went wrong. However i do advise everyone to get one of these :P
