What is the best electric guitar to get?

Question

I play the acoustic, but I want to buy an electric guitar. I'm looking for something around $300 but still good quality. Is that possible? =]

Answer 1

Gibson Les Paul

Answer 2

For only $300, you'll probably be OK with a Yamaha or an Ibanez. I also like Ibanez RG, but if you want a really good RG, you need a Prestige, and those are $750 and up. It pays, though, because they are the most versatile guitars I know of, once you add DiMarzio pickups.
Do NOT WASTE MONEY ON CRAP LIKE SQUIRE OR EPIPHONE. If you have to stay at 300, go Yamaha or Ibanez.

Answer 3

It's hard to get a really good quality for that price, but you may want to check out a Schecter or an inexpensive Stratocaster. ANything new for $300 might not be easy to find, but you can try looking around for a used one, or a knock off / imitation. Try Guitar Center or Sam Ash.

Answer 4

For that kind of money, it's hard. But I would say maybe a Jay Turser copy. They make good quality copies of famous guitar brands like Fender or Epiphone. They make good bass guitars too. They are pretty good for the price.

Answer 5

not really unless it's used,fender makes some of the best you can buy in a variety of price ranges.You want something that feels good to,and only you know what sounds and feels right.Do yourself a favor though spend the money.

Answer 6

Look at the Inbanez RG-series. I have one and am really pleased with it. Also look on ebay, your 300 will go a lot farther.

Answer 7

Squire
