Ive already typed this once but i feel that this may help many guitarists. The move from an acoustic guitar to an electric can be a beautiful thing.(emphasis on 'can')Acoustic players are usually very unsure of the type of tone they want to look into, and unscrupulous music shop sales teams make it appear as though they can get "everything they need to get started" but thats the thing, You have already started and you do not want to go through basics again, am I right?Buying an electrical setup is very important and you should take your complete time when doing so to make sure you get your hard earned moneys worth. In some cases used equipment can be good but in others its not the best choice.For example a used ESP explorer going for $300 may look good, but say its a couple years old and the EMG's (humbuckers) need to be replaced, the owner kept it in a half step down the whole time and the intonation needs fixing.It happens all the time. Good equipment is worth any wait!
