c'mon the Behringer?
c'mon really?

He's 12 man, and that behringer is a million times better than anything I had when I was a kid. The way I used to get distortion was to put headphones around my acoustic, plug that into the cassette recorder input, and then jack the recording levels to high heaven.

RP155
99 bucks and comes with recording software

those RP things aren't half bad. I use one (an older RP80) as a headphone "amp" or into computer speakers if it's 3:30 am and I feel the urge to rock.

I know that, I'm in 7th grade, but I don't think it was necessary to say that.

so

prs-like
Ibanez-of a sort?

pointy?
traditional?

what ya thinking?

hard core deathcore fuzz?

smoky jazz?

something bluesy?

what ?

SX telecaster
These get good reviews, usually at least as good as the $229 squier stds.
I think this is the kind I6 has?
I hear their strats are not as good.

Something like this would put you slightly over budget but it'd be worth it IMO.

PS> AMP FIRST then worry about the guitar.
In fact if you could devote all your budget to the amp right now, I'd do it. Even a piece of crap will sound better thru something like a 5W blackheart, rather than than thru a MG10.

+1 Either a used Squire or new and either seperate or as a combo is a good start. Pawn shop, Ebay or MF or GC.

More or less, Ibanez, probably traditional, I hate fuzz, but LOADS of distortion, yeah. I also like a Classic Rock tone, sometimes. Like 15%. I wouldn't mind an LP Junior, but they're pretty weighty. Good Enuff?

I present to you the Rondo version of the Ibanez


and at 115 it aint bad
probably won't be as good as a real Ibanez but in the ball park

the Gio series from Ibanez is like the Epiphones of Gibson ( just not as good )
at 149 it is abit much for your budget



step into the real RG series with the RG120
wizard II neck they got this red one used for 143



don't know how you feel bout whammy bars
but you will want at least one in the house with one
why not something like this SA260FM


I just had to post a second image of that one as they have it on sale used fairly cheap
and it is just beautiful


EDIT
and the pictures are the links to MF and Rondo

Not really. They don't weigh any more than a Strat really.

[ehdwuld]

If you're looking at an RG-type guitar, see what you can find in the way of a used Japanese Ibanez. I got my RG520 at Guitar Center for $199; it was mislabeled as an inferior RG470. Those older Japanese guitars absolutely slaughter anything new you can buy for that kind of money.

yep yep
what he said
yep

Did you find a guitar yet bro. I have one that I am going to list for sale tomorrow that you may be interested in.
