Hey I've been playing for a while and I’ve never really gotten into the whole electric thing but… I think I want to get one now I don’t really want to spend more than like $400 (less if possible). I most likely wouldn’t gig with it but I want one that won’t suck to bad if I decide to. Grace Me With Your Wisdom-Thanks!

Mexican Strat. Cost you about 370$ and then save up a bit more and put in some good pickups.....cant go wrong.

Mexican Strat or Mexican Tele. I have the strat, with Seymour Duncan Blues singles in it and it sounds deeelectable.

First off, MY GOD B-Fost, is that you in those video clips?!?! :roll:

Yep, Standard stratocaster. Musicians friend: $399...definately your best bet. I prefer the Fat Strat which is the same amount.

I also wouldn't disagree with getting some better pickups for it. Somthing that will give you a little smoother response if you don't like the twang that Strats put out.

When you are replacing a pickups do you need to replace all of them or could u juts do the bridge or do neck or do u have to do both?

you can replace any one at a time, they are connected only by a wire that is resoldered when a new pickup is installed

you could do one or the other...but then you'd have one good sounding one and one crappy sounding one.

definately go for a yamaha pacifica 112. this electric will match most of the top level guitars out there. its a seriously great instrument for a great price.

i play a little bit of everything mostly rock maby a little blues, i would be intrested in something that can handle most types of music and still sound decent clean or with some distortion.
