I think I prefer the Les Paul, but I'm on a budget....

Answer 1

I usually recommend an acoustic to my beginning students, but if your set on getting electric I would recommend the one that has the sound and action that your looking for, don't go for looks, or make, sound and action is more important.....make sure that you play them first, all guitars have a little different sound and action as I'm sure your aware of.....so if your going to buy one I recommend go to a reputable guitar store and spending a couple of hours playing all the guitars that are in your budget before deciding. I don't recommend ordering from the Internet, I think that a guitar should be played before buying, this is just my opinion. Good luck to you !!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Epiphone is a good choice if you can afford it. It is not that much more expensive than Squier but is a better value.

Fender Squier is a nice starter pack but since Epiphone introduced theirs, I prefer Epiphone. The sound is fatter and the actions is far better than the Squier.

The kit is probably $80 more but well worth it . Also, it has a good re-sale value .

Answer 3

I suggest the les paul. It's a pretty solid guitar. The Squire is good but the whole tremolo system can get confusing.

Answer 4

i would get the epiphone. actually, i would get an ibanez.

Answer 5

I think for a beginner a guitar has to be versatile so one can discover new styles of music, in this case the squier strat bullet is better, but if you are on a budget i recommend getting the squier starter pack which comes with everything necessary to start playing, they are not that expensive.

hope this helped.

Answer 6

get the epiphone
