Price range,Anything in particular you want in it?eg P/U's,hardware ect.

price range of about 200-maybe300 and a amp i was thinking a cube 30 iv been told there good

__________________

Im guessing that means 200-300 for both.If you want to buy new,Have a look at the lower end Ibanez,LTD's,Jacksons,ect.
.You can do better buying used,and there is more to choose from.Check out ebay.
And Cubes are good for the price.

I'd get a low-to-mid grade Ibanez RG model, but that's just me. You could prob score a RG350 or RG370 off ebay for around that. Who can beat that nice low profile wizard neck. Good stuff.

thanx allot will do

Agreed,but have a look around and see what you like.

Ebay is lacking any good RGs in that price range at the moment. Trust me, I'm scouring it trying to buy cheap. I suggest an RG 320 or above. And save up a little more money so maybe you can go that extra model up. It'll be worth it.

haha, they are disgusting.

I think Ibanez guitars have a really nice feel to them, even the cheaper ones. I would go for Ibanez.

Roland cube 30 fucking owns for the price and size! I used to have one, never had any trouble with it. Get it!

good choice on the ibanez mang

That looks like a good axe you're bidding on, but since you're a beginner, a floating bridge might be a pain in the ass. I would suggest an Ibanez RG321, a mahogany fixed-bridge that goes for $270 new. Has a Wizard II neck, I was about to buy it but I got a Jackson JS30 series Kelly for $30 more.

well i eneded up not bidding on that guitar but what im aiming for is a flat black ibanez like this one tell me what u think http://www.guitartrader.com/itempg....=17&numitems=44

__________________

but im not getting for 519$ i think i can get it from another store for about 239 or so i dont really want 2 get one o ff ebay mainly because i want 2 try out the the sound all that good stuff before getting it

__________________

Seems to me like it's a very good guitar. Neck-through, Edge II bridge, Wizard II neck, mahogany... the only thing is the pickups, for a guitar that expensive new, I would expect something better. But hell, if you're going to steal it for $239 who gives a fuck! Buy it before someone else sees it and slap some passives in there when you have cash for it.

I was going to buy the Roland Cube 30, but I checked out the Tech 21 Trademark 30 and I liked it so much more... It might not look as tough but it has better sound quality and you can shape the sound a LOT. No special effects like phaser/flanger and shit but I find that stuff useless.

The Tech 21 = $270
Roland Cube = $230

The difference in price is minimal, both have the same wattage, and the sounds you can get from the Tech 21 are worth the extra 40-50$

ok sounds good thanks

That is a floating bridge guitar. Do not get it (unless you know how to set up floating bridges) because you'll have a lot of problems trying to tune it, and you may end up messing up the action and intonation of the guitar. That was my mistake in buying my second guitar. I bought it and I got frusterated trying to tune it until I figured it out. Get a fixed bridge guitar for now and in the future get a floating bridge

I came very close to bidding on that one, but didn't because of the paint gouges. I'd repaint it, but... I wouldn't have the time.
