I have a low end Ibanez that I got for Christmas. Went cheap for the very reason mentioned below. If I decide to not learn how
to play I'm not out much. If I learn how to play I'll buy a better one. |

You`re right. A guitar is a guitar. As long as it serves the purpose you want, that`s all you need.
I always go for the upscale guitars, but only because that`s what I`ve done over the last 22 years of the 33 years I`ve been playing. There`s no shame in a guitar that doesn`t cost as much as another. If you know the right people, even a less expensive guitar can be modified to scream with the best of them.

Yeah, that's what I think myself, and so does my friend who has played guitar for around 10 years. If I'm just playing for fun then there's no matter how cheap the guitar is.
Unlike some people I've seen on some forums who think that a guitar under the price of 300 euros is no guitar at all. If someone who hasn't played a guitar before would buy a guitar for 400 euros and then decide that it's not his/her thing after a few weeks, he/she would lose a great deal of money when selling it to someone else. But if he/she would buy a guitar for 100 euros and then decided it's not his/her thing, then he/she would lose only a little money when re-selling it. That's why I bought the cheap guitar: I was unsure of if I wanted to play for a long time.
Unfortunately though I'm not having any fun with the guitar at the moment: the D string of it thought that it had heard "Grinder" too many times and decided to break. I do have the replacement string but it seems very hard to put it in place. Any guides I've found on the internet don't seem to apply with this particular guitar.
Wait a minute...it seems that the small remaining bit of the string was stuck. I finally managed to remove it, let's see if I can re-string it now... Edited at: Sunday, February 13, 2011 12:18:43 PM |

| I only have a Williams E-400 Stratocaster look-a-like and the amplifier that came with it, a Williams GF-15. However, before you start posting about how bad it is, I'm reminding you of that a) I'm a student and have very little money to spare and b) I'm only playing for fun, so personally I don't think that I need a quality guitar to do that. Besides, I've played it through a proper Marshall amp at my friend's training place, and it sounded pretty good considering the guitar cost me about 70 euros. I live in an apartment block so I certainly cannot play it that loud at home anyway. The guitar and amp take up quite a little room, which is important because I don't have much extra space to spare. |

| I have been playing my late brother's Slammer Explorer (black w/white pick guard and dual humbuckers) and his Epiphone G-400...I sometimes play his Jackson Randy Rhoads V with a recessed Floyd Rose....and I run them direct into a single speaker Epiphone EP-800 amp with no outboard pedals. The built in gain sounds pretty wicked,but would LOVE to get a Gibson V and/or Explorer and an Ace Frehley Les Paul and either a Marshall JCM 800 stack or even a little 2/12 Marshall combo would work for me |
