Hi! Please answer by January or so, because I'll be off to guitar center by then. I've got a little over 500 and I want to spend it on an electric guitar with good sound quality. Any good suggestions?
I would look at the epiphone knockoffs of the les paul and sg. Also I would look at the Fender standards, both the telecaster and the stratocaster. Find which guitar plays better, feels more comfortable and sounds the best.
I just joined and missed your link.. it doesnt work now.
I recommend a Hamer guitar. Something from the XT series you can easily find in the sub $500 range, but do not let the price fool you. Personally i prefer them over a Gibson. I know i might get flamed for that but its just my preference. They are MUCH lighter, the action is alot faster, and they sound amazing (when i play it correctly! im still a beginner).

I've found that quality doesn't really vary with guitars. Just go with the cheapest one. Of course, you have to get one that looks cool, but aside from that they are basically the same.
Lately, the best guitars seem to be made in China.
I dont know if I would agree on the price over quality. I mean a FirstAct guitar or one of those walmart brand starter package guitars is just NOT NOT NOT NOT the same as a cheap schecter, hamer, or epi. I know each of those brands have some Pricey custom shop and pricey signature models, but their bottom and midrange guitars are awesome. But that is not because of their price, its because of their construction, action, quality. A flashy guitar doesnt have anything to do with skill or sound or ability. For instance EVH's guitar or Steve Vai's guitar both look like utter crap to me but they sound amazing -- although most of that is due to the gods playing them and not the guitar.
still i would say you just have to pick a guitar that fits your style, skill, and ability. I would never plunk down 2-3 grand for a gibson custom until i was either A. ) signed. or 7.) Zakk Wyldes protige` (sp). Neither of which are gonna happen in the near lifetime, therefore i probably will not own one. lol.
That's wht I was trying to explain, sys2matk. I hate cheap guitars from those unknown brands that produce badly. I always look for better sound quality, then, style.
