Guitar Start Up
pentaen:
ah i got a few amps already, im just looking for the guitar
imapiratearg:
Oh, okay. What type of stuff do you want to play?
pentaen:
hm dunno thats tough i mean not jazz or metal specificaly
but i guess, somewhat broad, rock general...?
something to learn on that won't suck as soon as i break the curve.
imapiratearg:
Hrm. I started on a Strat. It's a Squire, and I'm in dire need of a something with a little more ass-kicking capabilities, but I would recommend a genuine Fender Strat. You could probably pick up a Mexican one used for less than five hundred. You could even pick up an HSS one, so you have both the humbucker and the single coils to mess around with and figure out which you like better.
But if you're not sure you'll like it and keep playing later down the road, I guess you could by one of the nicer Squires for between three hundred and five hundred dollars.
Examples:
This one is quite sexy-looking. This one is basically the same thing, but with P-90s instead of humbuckers. I've considered picking it up instead of a Gibson LP Faded DC, since it's a solid guitar and a few hundred dollars cheaper.

I agree with helmet on the topic of PRSs, I would be looking at getting one of those myself if it weren't for how I heard from Jeph the pickups won't work well with really low tunings. You ought to be able to get just about any of the SE models for $550, not sure about tax though.
I probably don't have to tell you this, but try out any guitar before you buy it, if it is at all possible. If the people at the store don't want you to try it out, there is probably something wrong with it. At my local store, they let people play the $1500 guitars, with supervision to make sure you don't break anything.
If you live in the hind-end of nowhere, you might not be able to find a store, but hopefully you at least have a guitar center or something.
