    Please don't take me otherwise!!!

    cooldude, please don't take me otherwise....But you sound like a child...

    You said you are a beginner.... right? I've been playing guitar for 2 and a half years now... I know I am still young... but I'd definitely be honest with you... Guitar is definitely about the style... But style does not come first... First comes skill... Improve your skills with an accaustic guitar... then switch to electric...

    I think you are fascinated by the kewl looks of those rock stars but tell you what.... they don't look so much rocking because they use 2M dollar guitars...but because they've given their souls to the music...

    Les Paul looks good... I agree... But it sounds BETTER!!!

    I might sound really bad to you.... and you are perhaps fired at me... but tell you what, you are gonna throw away that 30k guitar after a month or two when you find out that its equally hard to play as a 3k accaustic!!!

    I didn't tell you these cause I can't afford a 30k guitar... but I told you these cause these might help you be a good guitarist one day...

    If it sounds too hursh.... Dump it...hehe

    Bye,

    Coold00d, cool down.

    Man investing 30K on guitar at intial stage is just rushing to things.

    You may be very enthusiastic, may be very proficient, but you never know when all those thigns may go away.
    Its been just three months. All Ppl initially have lotsa josh.

    If this josh continues for one year without any break. Then I would say by all means buy you favorite electric guitar which may cost 30 or 50K.

    Since you are investing such a lot of money into this, I suggest you do some serious reasearch before buyin...Guitars and associated equipment (amps, pedals etc) are things where personal preference matters a lot. A lot of these things are very subjective, what one person likes may not be what you like. Try reading up on equipment... Harmony Central (www.harmony-central.com) is a great website containg reviews of a lot of equipment. Use this and the manufacturers website to get an idea of the ups and downs of the stuff you are going to buy.

    I dont believe in buying a crappy guitar first and then later buyin a good one... If youre sure you are goin to stick with playni the guitar, then go ahead and buy the best you can afford.

    Considering your budget.. you could try the

    Epiphone Toni Iommi Signature
    Ibanez RG1570
    Fender Stratocaster (MIM)


    However things dont end with the guitar alone.. you also need pedals/processors, amps etc. If you want more info on this, ask away.

    Yes those guitars are in the 20K price range. If you want a good pedal + amp setup, 10-15k is not going to cut it...I dont know much about pedals and amps...you could try askin the gearheads around here like ronnie and abhijith for advice on all that.
