I havent found my playing style yet but I really like the body of the Gibson LP and guitars with 20+ frets. Any ideas for a beginner electric for $200-300? I'd also want just a small traveling amp to start out with.

You might just want to post another thread for this question.. Um, you have a pretty cheap budget. Do you mean you need an amp and a guitar for under 300? if you mean just the guitar get the Epiphone SG standard. It's really nice, but it'll cost you a little over the 300 mark. Save up for it. it'll be well worth the wait. Just stick with it. I will maybe reccomend the Vox micro 5 watt amp. It's battery powered and sounds great. Around 150 usd
