I'm a beginner, and am getting some sort of acoustic/electric guitar for Christmas. Any suggestions as to brand of guitar and amp?

Thanks y'all

What price range are you talking? Is there any feature that matters more to you than something else might? If you want a lot of versatility, one of those new Line 6 Variax electrics or acoustics might be a good guitar(they have lots of features and play well).

Get a used strat and a small practice amp. Have someone who knows what they're doing configure it for you.

If you want to play electric, start with electric.

I think the Yamaha Pacifica is a good buy, and maybe look into an effects unit.

I have a Warmoth parts Telecaster that is all setup perfert and has a Seymour Duncan Antiquity in the bridge pickup. I was getting ready to list on Ebay for like $500 to $600. If you're interested let me know. The parts are worth over $1000......



It has a black pickguard in it now......

that is one sweet guitar! I may be looking for something cheaper as I need to get an amp too and am on a tighter budget that I thought.

I'm also looking at a brand new Fender Standard Satin Stratocaster and amp for about $600..here is the link. Any feedback would be great!

For the money I would look at getting a used american strat on eBay for 450-600 and either the fender hot rod series amps (Pro Jr., HR Deluxe) or the peavey classics (Classic 30 or 50). Either of these combinations give you a real lifetime quality guitar and an pro amp that can always be used as a stereo accompaniment to your future rig. I'll look up a few options and email the auctions to you! Good Luck

OK...I went a bit cheap for my first guitar.

I got a Fender Squire Bullett series. It only cost me $100 new on EBAY, and should afford me what I need to get started.

Hold onto that guitar captain...I wanna buy it when i can PLAY!!
