There some nice ones on Amazon I’ve seen
I suppose I am a bit late here, but if you have a budget in mind and can let me know what kind of music you are interested in I might be able to help out.
@plush jackal
about $400, and im mainly interested in slower songs, some rock, some hip hop etc.
You seem to be in North America, so I'll recommend Sweetwater. They're the largest music store in the US, and most of their stuff will ship to Canada and such.
I started with a Squier Stratocaster HSS Pack
Yea, I'm in north carolina.
My parents are buying me an amp for my birthday.
Ah, in that case, Id still recommend Squier to start out with
An HSS Stratocaster would be the most versatile I think
seems good for $400
Specifically the Classic Vibe range is probably the right price category.
You'll probably want to get the guitar setup once you buy it. A basic setup should include adjustments that make sure the strings sit at the right height from the body of the guitar and that it feels nice to play.
A normal setup on a new guitar shouldnt cost any more than 50 dollars, if that IMO.
It's not entirely necessary though, as a properly made guitar will be playable when you first get it.
I never had one on my first guitar and I played it for years.
