What’s a good brand of electric guitar for a novice?
Shared by Margarett:
So I’ve been playing an acoustic guitar for 6 months now, and I think I’m ready to upgrade to an electric. Thing is, I don’t know much about the different brands, and what the different qualities/pros/cons of them are. I’m mainly interested in couch guitar, where I just sit on the couch and play for my own amusement. For this reason I’m not a big fan of fender stratacasters, just because the body shape makes it difficult to play on my knee (its curve slides down my leg). But I don’t really know if there’s any difference between, say, a gibson SG, a telecaster, ultra, basic, standard, whatever. As far as I know currently, the only differences really are aesthetic, as the sound quality and type comes purely from the amp.

So guitar gurus, what do you folks suggest for a novice like me? I’d prefer to spend no more than $300, just because I’m not financially ready to make a larger investment. What do you think?
