how much is the SX telecaster copy? initially i was thinking of spending the most about rm600 for guitar + amp. so my choices were down to the behringer and stagg starter packs. are they any good? but i heard the amps in these packs are not good, so it would be wasteful to spend on it.. i dont mind getting a guitar separately first since you say i can play it on my pc. but can the speakers handle it? dont want my altecs to blow.
what guitar can i get for around rm400?

^ RM400 for a new electric guitar is very hard to find, unless you are going for some MIC brandless guitars? It's better you top up your budget or u would have to buy a 2nd hand guitar?

When I started I plug my guitar into the pc as well, using software modellers for effects. Wont blow the speakers that way, at least not to the good altecs.

I have a SX Tele for sale btw. If interested check my sig

hey guys, how much should an SX strat beginner package cost nowadays?
and are there any decently priced guitar shops around sunway/subang/usj?

SX Strat package ? I think you can check @ Mid Valley, Subang Parade, Sunway Pyramid or Summit if you want to.

need help from u guys. im torn between squier california strat / tele series and ibanex gax30 and another one i found out quite good axl badwater tele

i'm into jrock and stuff like jimi hendrix songs .. hotel california and stuff. budget for guitar is rm600. thinking of plugin it straight into pc. no amp. not enuff money to buy amp. can gimme some suggestion? i dunno if tele can go with jrock type of song like k-on or l'arc en ciel, kungfu generation..

I would add another 100 dollars to get an ibanez starting pack . ( cause thats what i did )

hi guys, i'm in the same situation as xmika here, the thing is i'm already on acoustic and i'm about to move on to electric, is epi lp stndrd suits me?

u nid 2 try 1st.feel d neck n hear d sound.u cant randomly buy a guitar jz by how it looks....

i would have to agree zintanthrax here but since u are new to electric guitar.. u probably cant see or hear the difference between the guitar..

u can get a cheap guitar but in time.. u will feel unsatisfied with the guitar u have as u get to know more about electric guitars, and u will feel the need to change to a better and more expensive guitar..

Guys.

squier cv series got a model, sonic duo i think, that comes with 2 single pickup

ibanez jumpstart package is pretty good and value for money for beginner

I'm on my way to get a 2nd hand decent looking S-S electric guitar for <RM300.

Got an Epiphone edi, but the Emily edition is too fancy lol.

Prefer something more neutral.

hope this is the correct thread to ask,i've read through the whole thread but still a bit blur here

so im also one of those blinded by the "learn acoustic 1st then electric" myth before i came across this thread.i'm interested in electric myself,never really fancied acoustics

so let's say i have a budget of around rm700+/-...what would be the best electric guitar set to start with?

im interested with mainstream rock genres like those from tokio hotel,boys like girls,linkin park etc

If you start with acoustic (e.g. Kapok which you can get for <RM100), you can familiarize yourself with chord fingering, switching, other techniques such as pull offs push ons slides etc. Also, acoustic guitar requires you to play clean and tidy, thus will build your skills on guitar better.

Plus, you can do this all without the hassle of wire to connect the guitar from amp. Just you and the Kapok and strum along. Easier to practise that way.

But if you insist on going straight to electric right away, I suggest:

A Squier Strat would do I guess (Approx RM500).

Or its copy from SX.

Then go get an Orange Microcrush amp with the balance.

Or maybe try ur luck on getting a 2nd hand Roland Microcube.

below rm700?wahburn or 2nd hand bc rich...
