Hey, there! The typical ranges are: $100 to $300 is low end, $300 to $700 is mid level, $700 & up is high range. But you can ask that question & get a bunch of different answers.

But don't get caught up in all that. You need to work on your knowledge & skills first & foremost. And any guitar that stays in tune & is comfortable in your hands is a good guitar.

Ibanez makes great guitars. I have an RG series. Love it for metal stuff. If you can afford it & it feels & sounds good to you, buy it & don't look back. Then practice a lot. A whole lot. :)[br][br]Hope this helps!
