Patrick:
I was about to say the same thing, but with more use of the word "bastard".

StaedlerMars:
So I'm looking for a new guitar/amp.

I currently have a Yamaha beginner's pack (EG 112 with with a GA-10 amp), which have lasted me 6 years. The guitar is starting to get a twang I don't quite like, and the amp is starting to buzz at lower and higher volumes. I don't ask for much in way of quality, but it's starting to become a bit annoying.

My budget is fairly tight/ I don't know all that much about guitars (six strings, neck, body, pickups), or amps(sound -> more sound).

Any suggestions? What should I be looking for? Are these danelectros worth looking into?

valley_parade:
Danos have a very specific sound, but at the price the reissues are selling for (about $250), why not get one?

How big of an amp are you looking for/what do you play?

StaedlerMars:
I'm not planning any shows any time soon, so the amp doesn't have to be big, just something with a decent sound that I can hear in my room. In fact, if I get a new guitar, I'm probably not going to be able to get a new amp for a while.

I play a bunch of everything, but if I'm just jamming I end up playing surf - or stuff that sounds like it. Not much gain, melodic, pretty distinct notes.

imapiratearg:
I might be being a bit hypocritical here, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say a small Fender might do nicely for that.  Especially one of the tube ones.  Like a DeVille or something.  I don't know, it's just a thought.  I kind of liked the clean and dirty tones you could get out of them.
