Any guitar will work with any guitar amp, to a certain extent.
Bass guitars will not work with guitar amps - they'll blow em. Guitars can plug into bass amps and will not damage them under any circumstances. The only reason why you may not want to get a bass amp is that bass amps aren't designed to provide the proper voicing or gain for a normal guitar's frequencies... not saying that's necessarily a bad thing, but in general a guitar will sound better through a guitar amp than a bass amp.
The only times I can think of a guitar not working with a guitar amp is if the guitar has an output that isn't compatible with the input of a guitar amp... most guitar amps won't like a full-spectrum signal, line level signal, or ... well, anyways, things that you probably won't need to worry about any time soon. You'd know about it if you had the guitar.
I will say that 40$ won't get you much of an amp. There are a few battery-powered amps you might be able to get for that much. I won't say that Line 6 is underrated - it's incredibly overrated and if you had any kind of an ear you'd agree - but it is moderately affordable and can do a lot of different things for a decent price.

you can play them with bass amps, but its just dumb. it will sound wierd. and bass amps aren't built for guitars, so it MIGHT damage it. but all i know is that if you hook up an electric drum set to a guitar amp, it would ruin the amp. just get a guitar amp. some guitar amp bands i'd reconmend are:
-marshal (one of the most popular brands of amps, most of the pro's use them)
-messa boogie
-line 6 (great for begginers and pro's, very underrated)
yes... an electric guitar will work with all amps except acoustic .... as long as the electric has the same jack as the amp you are fine
Lol, You've Nothing To Worry About, So Long As You Have A Jack Lead It Will Work Perfectly No Matter The guitar Or AMP...
itll say if its a guitar amp your better off just sticking with those. not a certain brand no, you can mix fender and marshall.
