ooohhh - I like the look of the pocket pod - although I should probably try to find something second hand, but it's tempting. Thanks for the yamaha suggestion too.

My piece of string is possibly about three hundred bucks - depends on whether it's worth saving up longer to get something better, and how good my bartering is. The amp I'd be looking for second hand probably, but I'd like a new guitar. I've always heard about Fender and Strats, but don't know if it's worth looking at other makes. Good advice though - thank you. I guess I need to go into a shop and try some out.

Hi,

What's the best electric guitar and amp for a beginner on a budget? Simply for pleasure.

Thanks,

Ruby
