I recently got an Epiphone SG and it's wonderful, both to play and look at.

I'd love an RG :D It was on my list of things to save for, 'til I picked up my uncle's old Washburn second hand when he sold off all his kit so he could buy a PA system to go with his decks. Turned to the dark side, DJing..

Not sure around the £350 mark, I was looking at the rg550/570, but I'm told the whole range is very good. Got a friend with a 370 and that plays nicely too, but second hand 550s are available if you look around a bit. I was playing on one in Marks Music in cambridge the other day...mmm :D

Let's make this another official guitary thread!

I'm in the market for a new guitar, my budget's anything up to and around £350, and I want a guitar that packs a punch for power chords as well as solo-ing, AND one with a fast smooth neck. Breaking free from my Strat, if you will.

Any suggestions? I was thinking of an Ibanez RG (and yes, I am going to 'try before I buy' so don't bother with a load of witty 'OMGZ telling u iz uzelezz' remarks plz, k thx).

You really should go to a proper music store if you're gonna buy a Guitar, and if you're buying an amp at the same time you really should have a good listen to it for yourself. (obviously)

Oh, and I have a Strat and there ain't anything wrong with 'em.

This was if I remember about websites...

www.soundcontrol.co.uk
www.mccormacks-music.com
www.guitarstrings.co.uk (they sell all manner of music stuff)

Oh and see when people go "Squierz R crp", don't believe them. I have both a Squier Strat and a Yamaha. Guess which is better (really)? Yeah, the Squier. It is after all a Fender subsidiary. Sure, some of them are poor, but trying before you buy solves that problem, I've certainly tried poor Yamahas.

Actually though... if you want something like that go for an Ibanez GRX170.

Definately yamaha over Squier here, either the Pacifica 112 or the RGX121s if you want something a little different, it's a fantastic guitar.

Squier Strats suck ass. I'd recommend a Yamaha Pacifica 112 for a beginner (I think that's the one with the bridge humbucker).

Squier Strats have 3 single-coil pickups which will provide a wonderfully attractive buzz when overdriven. So wonderful you'll want to throw the guitar out the window.

You HAVE to try out guitars before you buy, they're very personal things and the range on them is huge. After all, they're the most versatile instruments in the world.
