musical background so i know how to read music. i want something b/w

There's alot of beginner/intermediate guitars here. I just bought a Dillion
Acoustic for myself for a backup guitar. It's a little more than what your
willing to pay but it's a great playing/sounding guitar.

JB Player also has some good beginner guitars.

| I suppose you're best bet would be a Squire, you can get them in your price
range brand new and you get a warranty with them ____________________

For about $135 (Rs. 9500 or so) you can get what I got - a Prince. I bought
Prince LG-33 (I'm from Nepal) and I'm satisfied with it. A lot of brands
produce the exact same model ("LG-33") so you can go with any one - Prince,
Palmer, Wesley, Osmond and the rest.
The pickup setup is similar to strat (3 single-coils, bridge pickup
tilted), but with 1 volume and tone and not a flick-style pickup selector,
but 3 switches to turn either one on or off. The sound is really good on
this one. The body is maple and the fretboard is maple wood.
Pretty good buy - oh yes, and it's light

Dude get a oscar schmit delta king semi-hollow, I got one off ebay and it
rocks, I perform pretty nice sized gigs with it and all the
guitar players in the crowd think its a nice gibson. It has in it washburn
HH pickups stock, those are the pickups they put in the $4000 gutiars, so
there pretty cool, I play alot of like BB king on it and works, but the
other day I did a gig at a hotel and they wanted stuff like Greenday and
stuff, and it worked great,
very versitile for a semihollow.

I would stay away from the Squire...I owned one years ago...."honestly"
this guitar is junk. In my opinion you would be throughing your money
away.
Epiphone has some nice copies....they have a real nice S.G standard
copy you could pick up used for a couple hundred dollars.

Ok, gotta butt in here.
Modern Squires are brilliant, build quality is so good the Mexicans are
starting to worry.
Epiphones are cool, I have an Epi SG and it rocks ____________________
