It’s ok there r better tho

#

Also for a budget like that I’d highly recommend the used market

broken grotto
#

my godfather every year has kinda been giving me and my siblings a pretty good amount of money so im just looking in the low prices range along with the regular near 300

dire haven
#

Check out the used market

broken grotto
#

mk

dire haven
#

I’d also recommend getting a hard tail guitar as a first guitar

broken grotto
#

whats that?

dire haven
#

U see how both guitars have the bar on them

#

That is called a trem

#

A hard tail doesnt have that

#

U can use a trem guitar without the bar but on butdger stuff the trems are usually cheap and don’t hold tune as well as a hard tail

#

Also what are u looking to do for an amp

#

And what types of music r u interested in

broken grotto
#

I'll start with the music part first

#

i listen to underground nu metal, songs that use a lot of effects and clean tones which i can really quick give an example of

#

amp wise something that gives out good crispy distortion if im explaining that right

#

i know this type of music uses a lot of pedal stuff i believe so thats also another thing i have to account for

dire haven
#

Check out headphone amps like the nux mighty plug pro boss katana go or black star beam solo

#

Also a mini amp like the hotone pulz mini

#

U need to controll them w ur phone but they will have all the fx n stuff on a budget

broken grotto
#

so essentially i can get these effects and stuff without the pedals and what not?

dire haven
#

Yea

#

They r built in u just use ur phone to controll them

broken grotto
#

will definitely note that

#

do you have any recommendations incase i want to use the regular way of switching from clean to heavy with my foot?

dire haven
#

With the hotone pulz I think there is a way to connect a midi controller foot switch to it

#

U could also get a boss katana and foot switch for it but that will be like 450$

#

Consider the squire afinity hss strat as a guitar

#

It is 310$ new but the pickup config will be pretty versatile

#

Or the Yamaha Pacifica 012

#

They aren’t as metal looking but the quality is better

broken grotto
#

thats what i was kinda fearing

dire haven
broken grotto
#

yep

dire haven
#

1 sec

karmic thicket
#

it looks metal , is cheap and plays great

broken grotto
#

im lookin and thats actually perfect

#

still gonna be open to others though

dire haven
#

Idk what u think about single cuts but this is an option

#

I forgot about cort but yea that is also an option

broken grotto
#

not a fan of the harley

#

leaning towards the cort

dire haven
#

So u liek double cuts

broken grotto
#

yep

#

last question for now, will the amp that i can control still produce sounds like the guitarist on the right is making in this clip?

#

or is that just a pedal thing

dire haven
#

It just sound like guitar any of the options I said earlier can sound like that

#

Do u just like double cuts or do u like the shape of explorers as well

broken grotto
#

i just like doubles

dire haven
#

I’d say get the cort then

broken grotto
#

alright then

#

im still gonna look into foot switches since i'd rather not have to stop playing in order to swithc between clean and heavy whereas i can just hit it then go

dire haven
#

If u get the hotone pulz mini there is a midi controller that u could buy for 60$ that would allow u do that

broken grotto
#

perfect

#

thanks a lot
