whats a good cheap guitar???

hey i wanna buy a guitar, not more than $500 (Australian), that doesnt sound too bad playing PF, as well as heavier stuff....

any suggestions of whats a good guitar, or good shops(in NSW, Australia)??

i'll get you a guitar for 5 dollars in mexicali.

I wrote my English Cousework on 'Buying your first electric guitar' Assuming you want electric my coursework reccomends an Epiphone Les Paul or Epiphone dot. Also, a Squire Strattocaster or Telecaster. I think an australian $ is worth about 50 english Pence so you could probably buy any of them.

i think my idea is better and cheaper.

agreed! now how cheap can u get a flying V

if only i knew.

yeah, its an electric im looking for...
i heard from someone Ibanez is a good guitar for variety of sounds, anyone know abt that?

thx for yr help...

The Squire Strat is a good all-around choice. you can get one for around $150 -$200 US. (don't know the Australian/US excange rate). Get one if you can with a humbucker at the bridge for extra punch, or you can always put in a hot-rail humb (that is the same size as a single-coil).. They generally have a tremolo, and if you really wail on the whammy, you can put in locking (Schaller) tuners to keep it in tune.

another good (relatively) inexpensive one is the PRS Santana SE. It's based on the McCarty and has excellent finish and workmanship. It's got 2 humb's so it's tone is close to a Les Paul. (About $400 US) Also, the Epiphone Les Pauls, as mentioned.

One final thought, you might check out used musical gear stores. A lot of good guitars at good prices end up there. Just be sure whatever you choose, YOU like it.

that was very insightful...

...i just like that smilie in particular and that one too

Sorry, just wanted to see mad guy get it in the ear from "l'il humper".

Angus Young!

now that i've seen that my life is complete. i can die a happy man.

I like the name you gave him... "L'il Humper".

what I did at my last birthday party

ok, ive got my guitar now, got the lot, amp, etc all for $500...
so whoever deletes threads, i guess u can delete this now?

So what kind did you end up getting? Ibanez?
