Want to go Electrical LOL

Hey Butch8844, Saw that none have responded so far and figuered that your question covers
       such a wide spectrum that it would be hard to answer. Most players probably would not
       want to recommend this and that and have you end up not happy with what they
       recomended. I will say your best bet is the "hands on" method to find what you want. Go
       to stores and let them know you are looking for the lower-end gear and play, listen and
       see if any fit into your budget. There are always the used gear to try out also. Remember
       you can always upgrade later.        Mike      p.s.  just an ol pharts opinion

Butch I use a Standard S101 its a Fender Stratocaster copy made in China I got it for around $180.00 new(no case)and a small 40 watt amp with overdrive for practice and small gigs its plenty loud it only has one input with two channels made by Epiphone it has a 10 inch speaker and headphone input for around $45.00 used if you go to a music store there are lots of good used amps you can haggle with the dealer over plus a few effects boxes with reverb or delay and distortion but the amp already has distortion so I would look for a inexpensive stomp box with delay or reverb or both,my effects units are a Boss ME-50 Hendrix Crybaby waw waw and a Boss RC-20XL loop station dont get no better (at least for me) but you should go to a music store and try out a few guitars and amps and see if you can get a bargain good luck with it and CRANK IT UP!!
