Hi guys![br]I want to learn electric guitar and get started!

My favourite genres are metal, hard rock, punk, grunge, but also blues and rockabilly.

I'd like to get a first guitar which will last me for a long time, without needing to upgrade next year so to speak.

Budget of ca 300 eur for the guitar.[br][br]

I have been reading online and watching videos for beginner recommendations.[br]I've identified these, and I'd like your advice on which to pick:[br]Squier Bullet Jag HH. Super affordable, but more compromises. ca 140 euro[br]Ibanez RG421. I've read these have flat fretboards which are easy to learn on. ca 300 euro[br]With the two, I'd think about getting an amp in the 2-300 euro budget.

[br]Upgrade pick: PRS SE Standard 24. Around 550 euro, and a tremolo which perhaps will make tuning more complicated for a beginner. [br]If I take this one, I'd buy a very very cheap amp to balance my budget.
