Buying a new guitar

Then go buy a fucking Mosrite and be done with it.

Acoustic guitars are gay anyway.

I've picked up the guitar on and off a few times but haven't stuck with it (and I was never really good). Being involved in music and helping to write music as well, I do understand how to play the guitar but can't really do it myself. That being said, it might be better to learn on an electric as I always found them much easier to play.

Sam Goody was having a clearance on all their instruments a few months back. The store in my area still has stuff, most of it is stuff like Squire, Lyon, B.C. Rich, and Epiphone stuff. They reduced the price by 2/3, and I know my area out here in BFE still has inventory, so I'd imagine you can find something to your liking for cheap. If not, there's always pawn shops. I got my bass for about $50.00, and for a knock-around, it does the job.

Don't get a good one since there is a 99% chance that you won't stick with it for more than a few months.

Make this thread again in 6 months after you're sick of your Kmart special. Until then, you're just another buster trying to impress bitches.

This is seriously the best advice to follow. These stores(Kmart,Walmart,Target,etc...) sell electric guitars, even with a mini amp combo too and they are functional enough to let you find out if it is something you will stick with.

If you go with an electric I highly recommend a device like this: http://www.samsontech.com/products/p...1896&brandID=4

It is a really cheap (can be had for like 60 bucks) way to get a ton of effects, tuner, drum machine, etc.. You can use the output as a headphone out so you won't disturb anyone. They have models with more options but this will be way more than you can handle for quite some time. Remember, if you get a cheapy electric and one of these you will be able to get a decent facsimile of any style. Zoom makes some really good quality stuff and being a noob and having a tuner is a god send. I hope this helps and good luck.

Here is the same pedal with the built on expression pedal: http://www.zzounds.com/item--ZOMG1X

I know a lot of this stuff seems like overkill for a newbie but it has everything you will need and then some until you decide to get some top shelf gear.

For an electric it will require an amp for the most part, esp if it is shitty. On the other hand, in general less pressure is required to play. And uh, if you don't play with distortion, then you don't have to worry about that making you sloppy. (although fucked up shitty playing with distortion still sounds like fucked up shitty playing. )

Why don't you go buy a BC Rich and a Crate amp then kill yourself.

I have a Crate amp, fuck you very much.

lol crate.

It's loud and it gets my upstairs neighbors to shut off their shitty homemade hiphop bullshit. So it's worth every lol worthy penny to me.

It's ok man. My brother has a crate amp. He payed $20 for it. At least he admits is a piece of shit.
