Guitars

Hey. I'm going to buy an electric guitar and need some advice. I am getting the guitar with everything (Strings, picks, amp, cables, etc) I am wondering if anyone knows of any good deals (Under 350). I have picked out a few and was wondering which is the best deal. here they are.

I will use the Not Factory Sealed, but not the B stock.

Feel free to make other suggestions aswell, but keep in mind I need EVERYTHING at a total cost of under 350. TY!

I play an Ibanez GRX 40 (since february) and I cant complain about it.

Well, Im not sure which one is the better buy cause they all might seem to play the same since they are the ranging in the same priceline. I have never heard of Silvertone or Fernandes... It really depends what you wanna play. If your into rock, blues, jazz, ect. Go for the Ibanez cause of the pickups and it might resemble a Stratocaster. But if you wanna play with heavy metal and stuff like that, the BC RICH might be good cause of those double humbuckers. Not sure of the Epiphone though...

PonyOne has his finger on the pulse !

If you buy 'em both form the same place online you may even save on shipping and sales tax !

There are your strings, picks, cheap gig bag and a nice strap for free !!

A suggestion for an amp is the Roland cube 15. It is about $100 and has a clean channel and 4 different distortion sounds on the lead channel. Plenty loud and has a headphone jack. I have one and I love it. Look at musicians friend.

a good idea would be to go around to guitar shops and actually play some of the guitars you are looking at ordering and see if you like how it sounds and feels when your playing it

stay away from squier guitars

i don't know about getting a beginner to go and play a guitar because usually they don't know how a guitar should fell, play or sound. my suggestion is to take the advice of some of the knowledgeable peoples that are on this forum, or if you are going to a shop get someone you know who has played guitar for a while and also has played (at length) or owns more then one guitar.
