That's not a bad take on it. If you have enough budget for a decent used instrument then so much the better. If ultimately it's not the right one, you won't lose a lot of cash selling. But I agree with Christian that as long as don't buy some unplayable lemon, it doesn't matter too much what it is to get going.
My personal recommendation would be for a used PRS SE. They come in single cut Les Paul style or Strat shapes. Very well built guitars for the money. Should be able to pick up a good example for £250 or maybe less. eg:
PRS SE Soapbar Cherry Singlecut - Dunlop, Bareknuckle, Schaller, Hiscox
PRS SE Soapbar II, Vintage Cherry Finish, P90s, Amazing Guitar, Bargain!
But there's also the chance of buying a lemon as you don't know what to look for. Whereabouts are you? May be someone close by who could help you out buying used.
For a starter amp you can't go too far wrong with a Roland Microcube. Only 2W but plenty loud enough for practice. Also has a headphone socket & can run from AA batteries, so fully portable. Around £50 used from Ebay. |
