Electric guitars
Just fancied a cheap electric guitar - my daughter is learning to play and I strummed a little when I was a kid.
Anyone got any suggestions or a locost one for sale
I liked the look of
this
but is it just a waste of money?
Cheers
Mark

cheap guitars often need a lot of fiddling to set them up. I bought one last year for similar reasons to yourself, got a £50 one on ebay, its a twat
to tune (right at the bottom is wrong at the top) but it works and i have improved loads on it.
Buy a cheap one to make sure you are serious, then if in a few years you are still keen maybe get a better one.
I have a big sod off stage amp in the garage but never get round to using it!

Ive just got an Epiphone Les paul Standard.
Its a quality mid-ish range guitar so if what im playing sounds crap, its MY fault.
I didnt want to buy the cheapest thing around and be constantly thinking 'is it me or the guitar that sounds awful'
and i got it 130 quid cheaper by importing it from germany (and got another 30 quids worth of free stuff bundled with it!)
more than i expected to pay, but if for some reason i decided to sell, it'd hold its value pretty well.

My first electric was an Epiphone Les paul Studio, I too was suprised at how well it held its value when I sold it on when I upgraded to a more
expensive guitar.
