How about average guitar + average amp???

Like say, a Pacifica with a Microcube?

I too started off with a mini compo as amp =)
When i get an average or half decent amp, i could add pedals and stuff to make my practice more interesting, hence i suggested a decent amp first instead of like me getting a decent guitar and lousy mini compo =)
Also with the ADVT series he could get some different sound without adding pedals.

In the end i guess getting an average guitar + average amp like blactrix suggested is the way to go =)

Just get a Roland Microcube..possibly rm380-400 and a decent guitar like an Ibanez RG series or if your budget's higher get a MIM Fender Standard Strat

Stefanong's got a good point... the guitar is the foundation of your playing.

An amp with lousy tone is not fun to play with, but a guitar with lousy playability is even worse - especially when you're just starting out.

Hey, we all b!tch about our tone (or lack thereof) and think (at least for me... ) that a better sounding amp will make us sound better. Let's get real, an amp is not going to improve your chops/touch/technique/feel etc.

A guitar with good playability can help you improve your playing by generally making it easier for you to play. Some plywood knockoff guitar with a neck thicker than a baseball bat can make your life hell - and when you're starting out, you're life is already hell! No joke... we've all been there!

Go for a microcube (decent tone, decent price) and a guitar that's easy to play... the sub-2k Ibanez guitars are a good example of decent priced guitars with good playability. It's not an LP, and it won't sound like an LP... but at least you get humbuckers and a semi-kick@ss neck that will make your first few months of playing bearable, and the next year or so a dream...!

Ok lah, I gotta admit there's a distinct anti-LP, anti-tone-snob, pro-ibanez, pro-roland bias in the above post...

Swt... Here he goes again... Guys, no matter how much u discourage him... he ll ask the same question about the epip over and over again unless u give him an ok... it has been proven in the previous closed thread...

Plz go into all music stores, look for those within ur price list, check the specs and ask again... Try all guitars that u LIKED first before asking more questions...

U can BEGIN by going to WOH FATT first.. if u are satisfied with the Sx, then just go for it... if u arent.. move on to a higher budget guitar... There, this will get u started on ur quest for the virgin guitar...

Plz, no more question about which guitar vs which guitar... there is no absolute answer...

well i guess i have to agree with you. . . go for a good / decent guitar and stick with a cheap Prince amp or something. . . get your chops up and while you're at it save up for a decent amp. . . =)

a good guitar gives motivation and better fell to players. . . try Ibanez. . . they have a wide range of selection. . . get something around your budget. . . you can still use your mini compo and power your ibz. . . =)

man... i guess daddy wins.... i'll check out ibanez if not ill go for my very first choice... godin sd with roland 20x ( rm2500 with 3 month free lessons ) which my dad supports
