Guitar:
I just started learning acoustic guitar recently and I got hyped into playing the electric guitar already... The only songs I can play now is wonderwall and best I ever had.... I am planning to move on and get an electric guitar... But what should I buy with a budget for a guitar around RM500??? I kinda shortlisted to SX and Fender Squire... But what kind of guitar should I buy as I plan to play songs like those by My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy kinda music??? Please advise or give any suggestions... Thank you

Amp:
What I have in mind now is to either buy a cheap amp for around RM300 or try to plug the guitar into my comp via my Audigy 2 and play it output it on my Aego M speakers... Do you guys think that the comp idea is feasible??? I don't need it to sound really good, but just normal will do... Please help me on this matter... Thank you

try CK music store bro. they had tis promo once.... guitar(their own brand cratfman o smtg) + amp(voxamp) about RM500 if not mistaken. SX & Squire is good choice 4 entry level. With RM800 in ur pocket, there's plenty of thing u cud opt 4. Its up 2 u actually....sound of the guitar, amp, effects...(ur guitar hero might affect ur guitar likings oso) etc. Always trust ur ears. And for those type of band, i think they are more on d humbucker side of d guitar world.... try browse around ok...
my 2 cents...

What simple software can I use to output the sound on my PC if I plug my guitar into the line-in???

you can get ibanez GIO's at about rm700ish, check DeadEye's thread for some low end guitars.

if you're thinking about rm500, best option would be SX in my opinion. there's even Stagg if you wanna go lower just make sure you have at least a humbucker in the bridge position and you'll do fine

And SX and A Microcube........ the Low Yat recommended spces for a low budget beginner.

im gonna get a SX strat soon maybe

What do you guys think about Fender Squire??? How much would one cost??? Anyone seen a blue Squire around for sale??? Wo Fatt got???

And when you're sick of it, you know who to look for . (me )


@TS
The recommended combo here is the SX Strat and the Roland Microcube.
I believe we already have a pinned thread about cheap guitars. Visit the pinned thread first next time.

You forgot about SX teles. Anyway threadstarter you can get SX from Woh Fat, Squire and Roland Cube in Bentley. Test them out and see the difference.

luckily i read thru the whole thread. was about to post the same comment.

actually i prefer samick over SX for cheap guitars.
but if SX, i like the SRV copy

Does Doremi or anywhere else stock the Samick TR1, TR2, TR3 or TR4? The one that looks like an SG..

theres a local seller on ebay.com.my who sells the TR-1.

Where is Bentley?

did you even read my post in the other woh fatt thread?

Yeah, I read... But thats for Woh Fatt... Thanks anyway...

i am beginner too! personally i not recommend fender squier california series as i own one and i brought it together with marshall amp 10watt. forgot wat series already. i brought from bently and total cost RM800 exactly! during that time, i would like to get sx strat but unfortunately no stock available, so i had test other brand's guitar at same standard (budget guitar) such ash cort and fina (sx no stock at that time) and squier california do provide better sound and action. maybe u can testing around all budget guitars and who knows? the amp are excellent and it cost exactly RM300! now i had change the pickups for my squier strat, now much more better.

try ask the seller setup the guitar for u when u decide to buy it as normally factory's setup are just crap X_X

marshall MG series ? heard its crap ......

what do you mean by set up??
i thought setting up means pluggin the cables or playing around with the tone and stuff? wrong?

i am new in el gtr, so, interested to know...

Setup includes things like the string set up, neck, bridge, pickups, etc. Electric guitars have a whole bunch of factors that can affect it's tone. With lower quality guitars, you usually get poorer quality factory setups, though that can often be remedied if you bring it to a guitar tech. The guitar tech can resolve problems like fret buzzing and stuff. But there will still be things that he can't change.

As for what guitar to choose, I always suggest you chip in a little more to get a decent guitar. For 500, your choices are rather limited, and most guitars in that range are rather poor. If you choose to continue with that budget, the best advice for you is to check absolutely everything before buying the guitar. And if possible, bring a friend who has more experience than you along.
