Answer 1

I'm [e-mail] I need some more info from you to answer that question properly. Where do you live and what is that amount in American dollars? If you are a beginner, I would suggest that you get a Fender Squire, or inexpensive "Stratocaster". If you like a fuller sound then go with a "Les Paul" body style. There are some pawn shops that sell some inexpensive models also. B.C. Rich has some called the "Platinum Series" or the "N.J. Series". There are some out there like Hamer and Charvel-Jackson and then there's just Jackson. You want to get the best one for the money and it needs to be "playable" (i.e. the strings need to be close to the neck) because if it is too hard to "chord" or "finger" the notes, that will make you want to give up quicker. Let me know if I can help you further and tell me what variety (like the names) that there are for you to choose from. Vinny
