my first guitar was an old harmony les paul that was gave to me by my great aunt for graduating high school. every note above the 12th fret was dead, but it was good enough to learn on. I then got an epiphone flyin V and was damn happy compaired to what i had been playing. epiphones are good. It is true though that the higher price the guitar, the easy it is to play (as long as it is set up right). I finally wanted to buy a Gibson and saved up my own money for a year to get an Angus SG. I agree that there is nothing like using your own money to get one either.

Looking back, i wished i had gotten a gibson when i was learning. I would have played longer and wanted to more. And when you are first learning, playability really matters cause your fingers are going to HURT on a cheap guitar after 10 mins. You dont buy a Gibson to just show off to friends. sure that will probly happen, but you buy one for the Sound, Playability and Looks. IMO i say save that money and save up enough for a Gibson SG standard. Cause i played a Gibson SG special and they do sound alittle bit better than epiphones, but the playability is about the same. later

i disagree with the notion that it's better to learn on inferior gear. i wouldn't recommend top of the line either, but there IS a happy medium imho. i've seen people who were trying to learn become totally discouraged, and when they handed me their guitar i could see why!! :cry:

My dad said I can get a guitar for my birthday but it has to be $550 or less :cry:. So i can't even afford a special faded :cry: :cry:. I know half the people in here will say to go on ebay, but i really dont want to unless I absolutely cant find anything else anywhere. Here is some info to help:

I really want to get an SG style guitar
It would be very cool if I could get a Gibson instead of an Epiphone
I play hard rock and classic rock
If there werent any gibson availiable, then I would get an epiphone g-400 with a vibrola or a g-400 custom in ebony/black (if you could post some websites with these guitars in them, it would be very much appreciated)

thanks in advance guys!!!!!
[/quote]I have JT50 mint, semi locking strap, throw in some tapes and discs for free. $200 plus shipping and insurance. It is way better than any epi sg excluding the Iommi model which has the strap peg on the horn which quite excellant for tipping. Than with the extra cash buy yourself a cheap marshal.
