Does anyone suggest any websites that will have a reliable electric guitar and amp for around my price range?

I'm 6'3 if that makes any difference haha

Really appreciate the quick replies and indeph helpful advice guys :)

That's the devil's dilemma. I bought a cheap one this time around for the same reason. Now I'm getting serious and wishing I'd bought the Martin I really wanted instead of the Fender acoustic that I bought for budget reasons. But on the other hand I've bought three other guitars over the years that I didn't play and sold, so... it's a crapshoot, really.
