i say the tele. i just like the way it looks lol but ive heard it gives off a bright sound. best way to choose is to go into a guitar shop and try them out.

and for a cheap amp look for a fender frontman 15g. its what i use, but really, what do i know?

Xeros606

I like the look of the guitar but I worry about the sound. But the amp seems very good.

First of all I am looking for a guitar in the 300 - 450$ price range. I have a acoustic and my guitar teacher thinks I should get an electric so I really can do some things I could never learn on an acoustic and he says I will learn faster on an electric

Here are some of my ideas for some guitars.

By the way, I like to play classic rock and bit of other genres too. My favorite bands or artists are Allman Brothers, Tom Petty, Rolling Stones, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, and others like that.

P.S. If you know any CHEAP amps that would go with one of these guitars or one you suggest please let me know.

Heart of Gold- NeilYoung

Forever Young- Youth Group

Knockin on Heavens Door - Bob Dylan

Against The Wind- Bob Segar

Dust in the Wind- Kansas

many more... If you like these let me know I have tons more of these type of songs.

Nice uncle...

Anyways, I would go with the second one it just got "class" to it. While, the first seems like someone is trying to hard to look cool.
