Hello,
I’d highly appreciate your expert thoughts on a couple of points -
Transitioning to Electric Guitar:
I’ve completed approximately 60–70% of the fundamental acoustic guitar lessons. Since my ultimate goal has always been to play the electric guitar, I’m considering making the transition now.
Do you see any potential challenges with this jump before completing the acoustic lessons? Personally, I feel confident it won’t be an issue.
Gear Selection:
I’m in the process of selecting the right gear for my goals, which include playing songs from bands like Iron Maiden (trooper, Hallowed be thy name, Fear of the dark, etc. ) and Megadeth (too many to list).
Even though this is my first electric guitar, my philosophy is to invest in gear that meets my needs and will serve me well for years.
My question is:

With relatively small hands, I found Ibanez guitars with a super wizard neck quite comfortable during my visit to Guitar Center. After some research on-line, I’ve narrowed down my choices to the following:
Guitar: Ibanez RG652AHM Prestige
Amp: Marshall JVM410H

Even though this is my first electric guitar, my philosophy is to invest in gear that meets my needs and will serve me well for years.
My question is:
- Do you think this guitar and amp are suitable for the type of music I aim to play?
- Is there anything better you’d recommend?
- Are there other essential items I should add to my setup to complete my electric guitar journey?
I appreciate your time. Looking forward to your response.
Best regards,
