Newbie Posts: 5 Group: Members Member #8,807 Joined: September 7, 2008	I was thinking of buying an electric guitar and I am willing to spend about 200 dollars or so on it... I have an acoustic guitar but this will be my first electric guitar so I have no clue what to buy and could use all the help I can get in finding a good one. So if anyone has some advice for me it would be much appreciated.

Squire Strats are good for the money and Epiphone makes a couple of acceptable guitars for that money as well. Ibanez makes a couple of real good chioces in that price range as well. What kind of music do you Play? don't forget that you will need an amp as well.
