A New guitar

[Origin Of Resistance]

Right, I've been looking for a new guitar to replace my good ol' Squier Strat.

Any ideas for a guitar that's is similar? I have a £300 budget.

I tend to play things like Arctic Monkeys and Muse. But for when I'm creating my own stuff I range in different areas.

I was thinking a Chromed HSS Squier Strat. That way, I don't have to give up my strat's feel and shape, and have a humbucker up in durr.

Nice, but how much spending money do you have?

Ahh, good point. Up to £300.

I'd love to help, but I'm a piano player rather than a rockin' guitar one.

Good luck with your search!

What music do you play?

What music do you play?

Also, another good point. Anything ranging from blues to metal. But, I have a Les Paul for the harder stuff anyway.

So, I'm looking for something that can play blues to hard rock. For example, Hendrix, Arctic Monkeys and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Edit: Go 100th post!

If that's the case then try a shecter, you can get a really nice one for about £350 and they are the most versitile guitars money can buy

Either that or a telecaster but I personally think they are really dull

I'd help, but the only Fender style guitar I've played that I actually liked was a Jaguar, the rest are just... Not that great for me. Give me an Ibanez or a Gibson.

So I'll just say get a Jaguar. 'cause they look funky. Yeah.

If I were you I'd probably get that, but look around for any bargains first.

If you have time to save up another 100$, I'd recommend getting an Epiphone Les Paul. I have one, and it's such a beautiful thing to have. I play mostly rock, country, and metal, and using the right settings, it can get almost any sound.

Schecters are TERRIBAD guitars! They have the most pants-on-head retarded placement of the volume knob, and they play like wet blankets.

I bought a B.C. Rich Warlock for 250 once. I mean, it's probably not fit for the music you like to play but it one day you need to play a heavy metal song and your Squire just won't do it for you...

I was about to suggest a Les Paul, or failing that an Epiphone substitute before reading this. Congratulations with that guitar, you lucky bastard.

I'd say that guitar in your OP looks pretty good, judging from what you want to play. Two single coils and a humbucker seems perfect. I, alas, have only a Stratocaster (ok, I have no right to complain whatsoever, I'm just saying that single coil-only guitars don't perform as well when you add distortion effects). I did have a cheap Ibanez once that had two humbuckers and a single coil in the middle. Maybe look around for a decent Ibanez guitar?

That's all the advice I have, really. I mean, you've got a frickin Les Paul. What more can you want? To be honest the only thing any guitarist will ever need is a Fender Strat and Gibson Les Paul, and you can at the very least more-or-less recreate the sound of every worth while song in popular music.

I would wait until you have more of a budget. There isn't a lot of point going from squire to squire.

Some are awful but you can get some real beauties to play

This is mine:

It's a BC Rich Masterpiece Bich. I'm currently learning how to play, but it's a pretty good piece of hardware.

It's worth around AU$600 which is a little over your budget, but you may be able to get it for around AU$500 (which is a little under your 300 pound budget).

I got mine for free including amp, but you may want something different.

Get a little bit more money and buy one of these [http://www.espguitars.com/guitars_alexi.html].

Or just buy Dean guitar like a Razorback. You can get one for 300-400€, they look great and you can kill somebody with it.

I've got a Fender. Mine's a Fender Bullet Strat.
