Ok, so I spent a couple hours guitar shopping today and figured out that I don't like the feel of Les Pauls but am quite at home with something more like a Strat. I've got it narrowed down between a few choices.
Amps:
-Roland Micro Cube (~$160)
-Fender 20w (~$130)
Guitars
-Mexican Fender Fat Strat, (~$450)
-Godin Freeway Classic (~$550)
-G&L, a Legacy model with 2 singles and a humbucker (~$570)
In a perfect world, a Godin Velocity, but at ~$850 it's a little high for a newbie guitar. But it sure was nice.
I like the Hendrix/Clapton sound of the Fender, but the Godin or
G&L seem to be a better quality. The Godin seems to have great versatility because of it's pickup arrangement, and the G&L seems to be more like a Strat, just nicer. The store with the Godins and G&L was a little more helpful as well. Whatcha think?
