Yeah, another thing I should probably be aware of is that "expensive =/= better". I have 3 electric guitars myself, an SG, a Les Paul and a Strat with humbuckers, worth 2000DKR, 1800DKR and 800DKR respectively, and honestly, the Strat sounds just as great as the Les Paul (which, by the way, sounds almost identical to one of the expensive Gibson LPs). I think the expensive 10kDKR LPs I've tried only sound, like, 10% better, and that's compared to an 800DKR guitar. The SG also easily sounds as great as those expensive Gibson models too (both the SG and LP are Epiphones, though). They all sound great, and they were all quite cheap. The amp I currently use, a 40W Fender Mustang II V.2, cost only the same as the SG, and it also sounds great, especially when running the British 60's, British 80's or American 90's presets, which are the ones I use most. Great little amp for practicing at home, but I'll need to be able to play loud for gigs when that time comes. Can Mustangs be connected to a 4x12" cabinet to make them louder? They've got a small 4,3mm jack for Headphones, but I don't know if that can be used for running a 4x12" cabinet. I also don't know if modeling amps are actually useful for gigs, but it'll be a while before I'll get any of those anyway.
