Looking for some advice regarding a purchase. I am a beginner just getting down basic riffs and chords. I am looking for something I can throw in my car and take out anywhere to practice/play. -At first i considered an accoustic for this purpose but it seems that for the price of anything decent I can purchase an inexpensive off brand electric and a mini amp for less. Like I said I am only a novice looking for something decent lug around in my car and practice on. Thanks for any advice. dennis stapleton.
