ive only got about 300$ to spend for a guitar my dads a pretty cheap guy and i have no time for a job ive got an older peavey and a fender strat should i sell or not, i cant afford a real music man i know for sure
What is it that you like/dislike about your current guitar and amp ?
Maybe your guitar just needs a few adjustments.
Do you have any other equipment ?(pedals)
How well and how long have you been playing guitar ?
Are you going to school at the moment ? School can be quite busy this time of year. What are you doing this summer ? Maybe you can get a part time job when school is done if your too busy at the moment.
My first guitar I bought was from my first paycheque from my first real part-time job. My parents couldn't really afford an instrument for me. They were mad at first but they then saw how much I loved guitars and music after they would see me practice everyday.
Give us a little more info then we can help you better.
yeah im goin to school right now, ive got the junky peavey and pretty nice fender strat a radio shack amp, a great peddle i just feel like im fallin behind and need a new look and sounding guitar im tired of the style and the bland sound that its putting out
If I had $300 I'd try and score a G+L tribute off ebay.
Still, if you have a strat and a radio shack amp, I'd think the amp would be the thing to be replaced. You could get a Vox Pathfinder amp for under $100 and have a nice little amp.
Are you playing with other people yet? What sort of stuff do you play?
Don't fret about "falling behind" or looking uncool. Just keep practicing!
