Looking for an Electric guitar in the price range of 400-600.

wow there are many similar threads posted recently. maybe u wana search it...

Well i could say, first-timer don't spend too much money on a guitar. Quite a number of people recommend Smash (the lower end of Swing guitars) and timbre guitars. They are of good quality though they are made in China. They can be found at StandardValue and it's going around $250+ to $300.
