You dont need a youth guitar

I started wth a full scale guitar at 13
Whats ur budget?
final elbow
Get a Yamaha Pacifica
cloud tiger
Get a Yamaha Pacifica
he could get better depending on the budget
final elbow
he could get better depending on the budget
Yea ik but without a budget and thinking he needs a youth guitar I’m assuming not high Altho his mom will probably get a discount for working there
chrome sparrow
Idk the budget
chrome sparrow
Get a Yamaha Pacifica
I like that guitar
cloud tiger
Idk the budget
Ask your mom
chrome sparrow
500 or less

Yamaha Pacifica is a good, solid beginner guitar.
cloud tiger
true
a little addition but
for picks get these
trust
and get urself a decent cable
random ivy
A bass katana mini
Are you ok with playing through headphones? Or would you prefer not to?
chrome sparrow
Both I suppose
random ivy
Skip that BOSS Katana Mini. You could do much better
chrome sparrow
Ive used that before
cloud tiger
The only thing with headphone multi fx is that i feel like it could overwhelm them but im not sure
chrome sparrow
I enjoyed it
cloud tiger
like especially if theyre a beginner
chrome sparrow
I'm not beginee
random ivy
People glaze the hell out of BOSS like its the only thing that exists but tbh its overpriced and limited
cloud tiger
yeah but it might be hard to grasp like signal chains and stuff w headphone multi fx
cloud tiger
Ive been playing since February
you would still be considered a beginner
chrome sparrow
Oh
cloud tiger
or intermediate
chrome sparrow
Oh
cloud tiger
I think you should stick with an amp for now personally
chrome sparrow
K
random ivy
Can't even hook the mini up to your PC
chrome sparrow
The price for everything is going to be 300 something
cloud tiger
Can't even hook the mini up to your PC
yeah but its more plug and play in a sense
chrome sparrow
Also I don't have a PC
random ivy
For like $150? Thats laughable
cloud tiger
the mini is like 80 bucks
chrome sparrow
the mini is like 80 bucks

fair beacon
your mom the best person to ask

A bag? Lol save that 60 and buy a better amp than a BOSS. Snag a guitar stand off FB MArketplace for $10
WTF you need a bag for

ive owned one
chrome sparrow
I had a good experience with it
fair beacon
and i havent, so i'm telling you not to get it
it's a mini amp that eats 6 double a batteries every week
final elbow
Mini x is usable but abit limited
chrome sparrow
And I already made my decision stop trying to change my mind. I have a budget and it fits the budget.
random ivy
Then why ask
final elbow
I own the normal mini and wouldn’t recommend as only amp

random ivy
I just googled what 'sybau' means lol
final elbow

Or a used NuX mighty 20
pliant ridge
☝️ Very solid choice!
rugged nexus
fixed bridge esp ltd ec and katana is a go to for everything

Thats fair
Maybe get a multi fx then
@chrome sparrow
but if u rlly wanna stick w the mini then go for it ig
but yeah they are right its not really the best option

Im 14, an intermediate player, almost expert igs and im planning to get an e-guitar next month. Im deciding whether to choose the Donner DST -152 or an Enya Inspire. Both fits my budget. What should I choose?

still far from expert tbh
loud pumice
The intermediate grind is huge and super time consuming most people don't get past it

If youre gonna play rock/metal, why not a pacifica 112j instead of 112vm? You can shave a bit off the cost and spend that on the amp

i have been playing acoustic for 2 years, is that still a good choice?
cloud tiger
yes
dusty maple
i've searched on the Internet the Yamaha Pacifia PAC112J and some more. A Fesley FST100, as i researched, is good for players at my level. Is it a good choice? Or I js have a go at the pacifia 112j?
undone tendon
never heard of fesley
fesley is not too back actually ... sort of like Donner
cloud tiger
fesley is not too back actually ... sort of like Donner
yeahh
the only thing is theyre made in china
pacificas are usually made in indonesia or japan
undone tendon
doesn't guarantee anything though
but yeah, can't go wrong with Pacifica
Cort is also an option
cloud tiger
doesn't guarantee anything though
Im just saying the QC will probably be better on the pacifica
I assume their made in indonesia guitars are manufactured in the cort factory
cloud tiger
Cort is also an option
Yeah i heavily agree w this
fair beacon
Im just saying the QC will probably be better on the pacifica
not bc theyre made in indonesia or wtv
its bc theyre owned by yamaha
china knows how to make good guitars
they're just not paid to lul

@fair beacon the price of a pacifia 112j in my country still costs as much as an enya inspire. As im planning to buy the Fender Mustang amp, should i go with the Donner DST 152 i mentioned before?

If u don’t want to play metal u will be fine w the mustang lt
dusty maple

dusty maple
ok yall, i need your FINAL recommendation. I really need it because my dad told me to buy the best one that fits my budget, or he'll fking beat my ass up. My details down👇
Age:14
Region:Vietnam
Price segment: ~200-500 $ (5mil - 10mil vietnamdong)
Guitar brand: Yamaha, Squier, Donner, Enya, Fesley
Amp brand: Fender Mustang, Bass Fender Rumble 25,...
Pedal: anything
cloud tiger
ok yall, i need your FINAL recommendation. I really need it because my dad told ...
the fender rumble 25 is for basses
Do Yamaha for guitar, then fender mustang LT25, you wont need pedals
because the mustang has built in effects
chrome sparrow
I have come back
I asked someone who works at sweetwater about the boss Katana mini
At sweetwater, the boss Katana mini is a best seller
undone tendon
At sweetwater, the boss Katana mini is a best seller
That says absolutely nothing about the quality
chrome sparrow
That says absolutely nothing about the quality
Also the person who told me says that it's one of his favorite guitar amps and that it's good for if youre just practicing or playing by yourself
leaden vapor
It's pretty basic. I don't know how it sounds so if you want something simple without effects then maybe that's it.
undone tendon
For the money it might be the best ... I'd still get a mightyplug pro or a GP50 and just any speaker
Especially if you want to play anything harder than granddad rock
