What Is the Best Electric Guitar to Buy for Under $300?
I am a relatively new guitarist, looking for the best electric guitar that fits my budget. My price limit is 0. What should I specifically look for? Where is a good place to look? Is it better to buy off the internet or from a store? What are the best brands and models for quality and price? Thanks for you help.

US $19.95
Well I have a few suggestions for you possum.
First, you can read user reviews at http://www.harmonycentral.com
The most popular guitars usually have a link underneath them
to the website of musiciansfriend.com, an online retailer.

You can also go to http://www.youtube.com and see what other people are playing, however in most of the demos the sound quality is exceedingly poor so I don’t know if it much used to you.
Recently I picked up an Ibanez Artcore AS-73 which I have become exceedingly fond of. I don’t use an amp but record directly into my computer with the use of a Line-6 toneport UX-1. This allows me to get a multitude of different sounds.
The guitar and the toneport set me back about $400;
the guitar was second-hand but in imacculate shape.
For recording, I use REAPER, which is free to doenload and use as long as you don’t start making loads of money off of your artistry. LOL!

you could buy a fender stratocaster, the ones i’ve have been around 200 dollars.
I think that a Ibanez is ur best bet, check out Guitar Center.com
and if u live near a Alpha Music go and play one. ummmm

But If I were u, Id save up. Once you get good, check out Gibsons,and Fender strats.There the top o the line. And some Gretsch’s are good to:] hope that helps.
Oh and I doubt theres any good fender strats for 2-3 hundred if so your probably gonna get jipped, now a Squire is around that price range but DO NOT GET A SQUIRE they are seriously crap. Strats are good, but not the cheap ones, Im stickin to my guns on Ibanez, there cheap and sound decent.Good luck:]
