I'm sorry im a bit confused! So I agree with what you're saying to go off looks and how I'll know once I've tried but are you saying there's certain styles/brands I should be wary of?

Thanks for that, so really having a look through Thomann would there be any brands to avoid or just have a look and see what I like and buy it?

Thanks for that, would the yamaha's be better than something like a squier, vintage, etc?

Hi everyone, I wondered if you had some advice. For £350 what would you consider to be the comfiest guitar to play/learn on in regards to neck profile, etc. I like something a bit different but I do love a classic so am currently considering Chapman ml3 traditional, squier paranormal esquire telecaster, Sire s3/t3, etc. I am too far away from a shop to try so would appreciate any help!

Thats great thank you! It sounds as though P90s could really give both the soft clean tones and thick distortion tones as well. I will have a look as I have seen some interesting epiphones, gretchs, g&ls, etc that look good

Thats great thank you. I think a P90 could be a really good shout to especially to cover so much tone.

Hiya, thanks for the suggestions! If I lower the bridge pickup then is there some good suggestions for another guitar that can cover the other side of the tone?

I am listing my guitar for sale as I brought it very recently in the black Friday sale from Andertons however it was a complete impulse purchase. I'm getting back into playing guitar and it just wasn't what I was looking for. It's in mint/new condition and I'm sure it's perfect for someone as it is a great guitar just not for me unfortunately. I have listed some details below: - Shoreline gold colour - HH set up (SQR with a rail humbucker at the bridge) - Roasted Maple "C" shape neck I couldn't attach the photos but if you are interested please message me and I can send them over. I am open to offers but if you have any questions feel fee to contact me.

Oh okay, that sounds like a plan. Is there any costs or delivery needed?

That sounds great thank you. So it sounds like I need to go into a store and play around with a couple of guitars and then make my decision? I have been given a squier contemporary telecaster by a friend recently as he can't get on with it and I like some aspects of the guitar but find the bridge pickup too strong. Where do you guys suggest selling this?

Thank you for the suggestion! I like the left field options as everyone seems to have teles and strats so that sounds good. Is it worth looking into a HH set up guitar and then also investing in a SS or P90/S style guitar as well?

Thank you for the suggestion. Do you think that will cover the tones well or is it worth going for two guitars that cover both areas much better (one for the single coil sounds (RHCP, rolling stones, etc) and one for the humbucker sounds?

Hiya, thank you for the comment and welcome. I'm based in Kent in England and have looked around but you hear so much that I might have too much information! Sorry for not confirming but it is an eletric guitar I am interested in. In regards to music I like to listen to/attempt to play it is a lot of different bands. Some examples are: ACDC, Led Zepplin, Def Leppard, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, The Jam, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Pink Floyd, The Smiths, Oasis, The Rolling Stones, the list could go on and on. Sorry if I wasn't clear but for budget in total it would be about £700 for a guitar and amp. I am looking to get the guitar first so if it is a bit over I can save a bit longer for an amp. I don't mind the usual suggestions of teles, strats, les pauls but if anyone has any really good suggestions that would be great as I am open to in time having two guitars to cover the styles of music as one guitar to do all that could be hard to find (but if there is something that can do it all for more money I wouldn't be against putting more money into that instead as it may be better quality and last me longer). Thank you!

Good afternoon to everyone! I am looking to get back into guitar after 4 years of not playing. I used to play growing up but then since working I have lost the time for it and just never got round to it. Also because of this my gear is a bit out of shape now and it got me thinking, what is the best stuff to be buying right now coming back to the instrument. I probably can spend about £300-£400 on a guitar (potentially a bit more if worth it) and I am not looking to gig so an amp would only need to be good for home playing and taking pedals. I'd really appreciate some help with this and some guidance on what to be looking at as I haven't actually brought my own guitar before! If anyone needs more info then just say and I can do my best!
