Welcome to Guitar Tricks.
This is the place to learn guitar..
About your Ibanez IVJ 50 jampack that you inquired about in your other post, I can't say how good it will be. I have tried a few inexpensive guitars that felt and sounded good.
It may be amazing or a dud. Hopefully it the one to get you started. When you get a few scales and chord down and maybe a tune or two you will be able to assess what your looking for in a more expensive guitar. If the Ibanez passes the test but you still want an up grade you can save it for a beater. If you know a player who can check it out for any flaws have them give you an appraisel..
Good Luck and enjoy the trip..

PS, would you happen to be a Tobt Kieth fan..
