Lil man: check it. get the cheapoh guitar and then educate yourself on setting up the axe. The intonation pick up position relative to string's. You can make a lousy guitar sound great with set-up. and besides most guitarists will tell you allthough they may have a favorite axe most of there talent/sound is in there hands no matter the axe. Learn your style learn set up and play your tail off and have fun It's music man this is the best talent in the world to enjoy keep it fun keep it true. Peace
