My first electric guitar...
 
I'm a kid looking out for my first electric guitar...

I really like both fender jazzmaster and jaguar, but they cost too much for my wallet... so, the closest thing i can get ( i suppose) is a squier jagmaster, that seems to be a cheap mistura of both or whatever.
Is it a good option?
And about the amp?

appreciated, Fiquem Bem

Get a used guitar that is in decent shape, intonates decently, stays in tune, and doesn't buzz anywhere on the neck. If a guitar plays well, intonates properly, and stays in tune, you've got a killer guitar. If it doesn't sound good, change the pickups.

GeneticKiss 10.08.2006 11:22 PM

I'm not sure I'd recommend a Jagmaster to a beginner becuz they're kinda heavy...

But, I supposed you'd get used to it...my first guitar was an Epiphone Les Paul Special II, and that was/is (I've still got it) around 9 lbs....I used to be able to play that thing standing up for around two hours before the shoulder soreness became unbearable...and now just the other day I was playing my Heartfield RR58 which is about 6 lbs, and I started getting sore after an hour and a half.

Must be getting weak in my age.

I have a squier Jagmaster, and I love it. The only thing that bothers me is the whammy bar screws up the tunings easily. Overall, it's a good gtr.

If its your first guitar, just get something cheap. Chances are you wont really be able to tell a huge difference in how the guitars sound and it wont really matter anyhow if your not gonna be performing with it. When your ready for something better you'll know.

blue sunlover 10.09.2006 02:50 AM

i wish i had a bass

strictlycommercial 10.09.2006 04:26 AM

Be real careful if you're getting a squier, they can be suprisingly great or fairly shit, it's all down to the individual guitar. Test a few of them out, you can find some real gems.

Jico 10.09.2006 05:07 AM

thank you all for defecating your toughs here with me...
I'm getting this squier for $280...
But im not sure about the amp that fits best...
k-krack wich amp do you use?

obrigado.

king_buzzo 10.09.2006 06:21 AM

i hate squiers... squiers have BAAAD necks

Jico 10.09.2006 08:07 AM

yeah...
squier what kind of name is that?
fuck it.

I'm going shopping..........

Jico 10.09.2006 01:55 PM

Obrigado,

Não me digas que és o guitarrista dos Caveira.....

yeah, i've checked out Marshall MG30dfx its great i think, but im going for a peavey studio pro 112 for $220 -> great deal i think.....

k-krack 10.09.2006 02:17 PM

Thats good man. I like the marshall coz it's got built-in effects, (i use the reverb about 50% of the time), but they are great for noising.

ok, thanks

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 10.09.2006 02:27 PM

Squier Champs are great practice amps.

sonik death 10.09.2006 04:42 PM

Why not just save up and then get a Japanese Jazzmaster, second hand.
I just bought one in fairly good condition for £350.00, which isn't too bad.
You have to get a Jazzmaster, they're so easy to play.

Enjoy!

you should check out www.harmony-central.com they have lots of reviews of gear.

Rovetu 10.12.2006 02:02 PM

I have a Marshall Valvestate 10w. It sounds great, i recommend vavle amps than transistor amps (solid states). They sound much better

Jico 11.02.2006 07:24 AM

i got my chinese kids handmade guitar since monday and it sounds like shit. but that's fine. the amp is not home yet so im using a envoy 110 from a friend of mine and my home stereo. i will post some pics whenever someone borrow me a cam.

guitarpro 11.10.2006 12:10 PM

I like the sound of a cheep strat with a good distortion pedal
