Beginner Guitar Advice

(1/8) > >>

Mnementh:
So I'm thinking of celebrating my pay raise with an electric guitar.  I haven't played in close to 15 years.  I'm not looking for anything fancy, I don't want to spend too much, basically going to teach myself to noodle out some Phish tunes.

Also, I'm a bit on the tone deaf side (making this an adventure) and can't tune a guitar worth shit, so I need suggestions for a tuner.

Give me your thoughts.

Questions, Comments, Snide Remarks?

ASturge:
Well, we really do need to know your budget for this one.

Also, electric tuners are evil. Tone deaf or not, you might not have a tuner as you step on stage and realise that your guitar is tune-fucked.

Ear is the way. (tuning forks are also a definate yesyes)

Mnementh:
Well, I've no real intention to play on stage, and I've a poem planned for future marraige proposals, so this is for sheer personal pleasure.

I'd say between 150 to 200 USD.  Also, I have short, fat fingers.

blindsuperhero:
The problem with cheap guitars is that the quality varies so much. Most of them are awful but every now and again you can find a pretty decent guitar. the only problem is, you'd have to know a bit about guitars to be able to tell which ones are good.
If you're not bothered about how it sounds, or becoming a good guitarist, I'd say just pick one that you like the look of.

Well, I'd say this one looks a bit nifty. I quite fancy it myself. It's humbuckered, has volume, tone-ige and with a free hardcase to boot it seems like quite a nice little buy.

Hell of a shipping cost though...

(remember, Ebay is your friend)
