Neil Lowe Reccomend an 'Lectric Guitar for beginne (19) RE: BS: Reccomend an 'Lectric Guitar for beginne 06 Dec 99

.....don't know anything about the other guitars mentioned but Michael K's advice sounds pretty good to me...I just recently purchased my first electric, an Epiphone GS-400 Custom (Epiphone's version of the Gibson SG) and I'm pretty happy with it... paid $420 new....it's cheap enough to be affordable and expensive enough to have some quality to it....it'll be a long time before I outgrow it.

I suppose anything with decent playability would be a good first guitar. If you think he's serious you naturally wouldn't want to start him off on something with action an inch and a half off the neck, or a guitar that would play in tune in an E chord, but not in A. That would be discouraging.

Good luck, Neil
