So, I was planning on spending around $800 for both the guitar and the amp, but I don't mind spending more if I find something I really like. There are so many choices though, and I feel a little overwhelmed!
I know that I shouldn't choose just by the brand, but so many people have told me that Fender is the best and so I really want one (good marketing on their part I guess!)
As far as the type of music I want to play, I want to try some kind of blues / rock sound...like Eric Clapton
So, that being said - any ideas?
