Hi, I've been playing acoustic guitar for 4 months and I've played my friend's electric guitars and I really want to buy one. I've also been playing piano for about 6 years(don't know if that means anything). Any advie would be greatly appreciated.

yamaha has a few good first guitars
a good website
www.samash.com

 

[andrewtheshreddr]

some quality first electric guitars would be:
yamaha pacifica 112
squire affinity strat
epiphone les paul
samick
aria..
there are many more budget quality electric guitars around..
just check out the websites of those companies.. also u must try the guitar out before buying

hope this helps

I'd also have to agree with yamaha. Thats what i started on.

Go to musicians friend and get yourself a good deal.

 

[wahwah]

A Squier srat but make sure you get a good one. Or if you wanna go for a humbucker sound, try a Epiphone Les Paul.

 

[Stiglar]

Epi les pauls are an awesome way to go ..

but wah is right a good squier strat or tele is awesome and not too hard on the pocket

Squier Strat

There is a several hundre dollar difference between the Strat and an Eiphone Les Paul, so if cost is a factor, and since you are new to guitars it should be, I would recommend the Strat as well.

used ibanez rg 270

way better than a squire (which sounds like poop on a stick)

If ya can't get a hold of an RG, look for an Ibanez GRX20. They cost about the same as a Squier Strat but they are way better. Stays in tune a lot better than a Squier, plus has more frets than a Strat

They also have a GRX40 which is the same thing with two single coil pickups instead of two humbuckers.

I have to agree with WahWah and EJ. GO squier.An early model if you can find one. As far as them being poop on a stick, thats one persons opinion. Properly set up they are a superb guitar. Another option I am sure EJ would agree with is the OLP MM1. Both alot of bang for your buck.As andrew said, play it before you pay for it.

thanks, I went to the store and tryed out the squier strat, yamaha pacifica, ibanez RG(can't remember the model, but it cost $200), and the epiphone les paul special. The two I thought fit me best were the yamaha and the epiphone. The Yamaha is slightly cheaper, but I don't think price is a huge issue since there all pretty low cost guitars. I just have to find some amps now.
