To be honest I tested an ibanez gio kit a few days ago and it blew my mind. The guitar was really comfortable and light, the neck was butter smooth and the little amp sounded ok(ok cleans, ok crunch, meh high gain). For your budget a kit like that with a well set up on the guitar is really great ;)

One of my guitarists, when I was still at school, played a Yamaha Pacifica. She was a skinny welsh girl, family troubles, lived in a caravan on their driveway. Had a fucking attitude, and we loved her. About five or six years ago, maybe more, I'd heard she'd died by suicide. I cannot see a Yamaha Pacifica without immediately seeing her busted jeans, purple tshirt, and chunky beanie. I recently found an old photograph of her, myself, and our bassist, sitting in my living room with our shitty practice amps.

I would weigh in and say that in my experience, an expensive guitar makes it easier to learn, easier to move your fingers around, easier to fret and barre, so you spend more time actually learning to play rather than just learning to place your fingers, which comes naturally as you learn anyway. So if we're coming from the beginner angle, an expensive guitar would mean you can learn and progress much faster from the start, and since you're learning, you're not going to be gigging for a while anyway. Then once you feel you're gig ready and start looking for a band, you've had long enough to put some money aside to finally get a better amp for the sound. That's my 2 cent anyway :)

Wolf Predator: both, one can't exist without the other. unless you buy an acoustic guitar which you don't need an amp for because it produces clean sounds on it own, although there are acoustic guitars that you can plug into an amp, but those are only necessary if your playing in front of a gig. if your only playing fun at home like i do, then an acoustic guitar will do just fine. if however your looking to buy an electric guitar, then you need an amp. it doesn't have to be an expensive amp, but for an electric guitar the amp is the second most important thing your gonna buy. just like on a computer, the CPU is the most important thing your gonna buy. so even if your gamer and play guitar in your spare time, the CPU is still most important piece in your computer. now you might say what about a cheap CPU but with a more expensive graphics card, and i would say not to do that. to me if your only willing spend $100 bucks on a Dual Core CPU, then you have no business buying a $400 dollar graphics card. so what happens when you spend $200 dollars on a CPU and you also buy an Nvidia or Radeon graphics card with a similar price and what happens, you get a nice balance. the graphics card won't have to work as hard, and the CPU won't feel like it's bottlenecking. so it works the same way with an electric guitar and a amp. i have one acoustic guitar, and i have two electric guitars. my first guitar was a Yamaha Pacifica. i got that guitar in 2005 when i was about 13, and i still have that guitar today. the amp i picked out wasn't cheap, but it wasn't $500 dollars expensive. it was a Fender amp for about $250 dollars, but it was only like 30 watts, which is much better than the 15 watt cheap amps they sell out there. my parents didn't mind me practicing, but my amp was a little too loud at night even for just clean at low volume, so the following year my dad got me this Fender acoustic guitar for $299 around Christmas time. around 2010 the year i graduated is when i bought a second guitar, which was a Gibson Les Paul Studio. similar to the one Lee showed in the video, but mine was white with some black highlights here and there.

Really cheap sounding amps can be demotivating for a beginner. A bonus of starting with a cheap guitar is gaining experience setting it up yourself without fear. This is my favorite Anderton's video(the editing is just unbelievably brilliant). I was budgeting $300ish for my beginner rig and was trying to decide on what to buy. After seeing this comparison I decided on a Squier Strat Affinity ($50 used at a pawn shop) and a nice Blackstar HT5 tube amp with reverb ($250 used on Craig's List w/Celestion speaker upgrade). The Squier needed the frets dressed and I replaced the plastic nut with bone and I hard-tailed the tremelo. The Blackstar sounded amazing from the moment I plugged it into the wall! This combo has been great for my first year or two. Eventually, I will resell the Affinity and move up to a nice second-hand American Strat but I'll be able to keep playing that great amp expanding it's sound with pedal effects. There are literally tons and tons of gear on the second-hand market that rock dads bought and never played! Most of it is in the mid-level price range too.

+JoeyRockerTV The les paul's bridge pickup squealed like crazy with higher gain/volume. Not sure why so many les pauls have this problem. I've encountered many that do. Maybe there's some tweak you can do to fix the squeal, but if not, then it needs a pickup swap. And for a guitar already many hundreds of dollars more expensive than the Yamaha, this is unacceptable. The Yamaha already has a great bridge pickup sound. All you'd really have to do is swap the neck pickup, sand the frets a little, and swap the nut to get an EXCELLENT combo. Based on these factors, Rob's setup is definitely the winner. The damn thing even has a coil tap. If Rob takes out the middle single coil, there's even room to put the bridge pickup in parallel within the wiring.

Perhaps not a full blown newbie rig, but... yeah, it just seems a lot. Half or even 2/3 of the budget would make far more sense I feel. I get that they don't want to go budget, but it doesn't seem like they really compromised anywhere, and I feel like this video would make far more sense as a "You have to actually compromise somewhere: so if you can buy a mid range Amp OR Guitar and a compromised version of the other, which gets you the end result?" approach...

Guitars are very simple technology. It's pretty easy to find an affordable guitar that's well-made. Amplifiers, on the other hand, are much more complex. It's more difficult to find a good amp that's inexpensive. Plus, most of your overall tone comes from your amp and speakers anyway, so it makes sense to spend more money on those things and less on the guitar.

Kinda agree with this - maybe not that it's so simple, but that it's all in the math(s). In the 50's and 60's when things were cut and shaped by hand, it was really important. Now you can 3D model a classic guitar and turn them out by the 100's using a CNC machine. That's why one of my favorite things is as Chappers talked about at the beginning. Find a cheap guitar that sets up well, like a used PRS SE, Squier or Epiphone for a little money - something that intonates and that you can get the fret buzz out with good low action, enjoy it for a while and then drop some really nice pickups into it and get so much more for your money. I drool over a Dragon, and spent nearly $2000 on a PRS Custom 24, but I have almost as much fun playing a guitar that I built myself for $150 with P90's. My latest project is dropping a Seymour Duncan humbucker sized p90 into the old Epiphone Les Paul Goth that I learned on 10 years ago. I loved it and kept it, but it stopped making it into the rotation because the others were better and/or more fun. Now for $90 and some time with a soldering iron, I think it's going to see a lot more use again.

The answer is so obvious, a quality amp will carry you very far even with a cheap guitar. That being said a super expensive guitar wont sound as good as its worth with a low quality amp. A 1000 dollar guitar wont sound like a 1000 dollar guitar on a 100 dollar amp

If you can buy used you can get a sick rig for that price A used good quality guitar can easily be had for under 300. I've seen mexican strats PRS, Ibanez, danelectro, epiphones all for under 300.00. And you can get a used blackstar, fenders blues Jr, bugera or Marshall valvetronic combo. Hell even a used vox for under 3-400. So with 500-600 you can get a gig ready setup easily.

that is a good way to go strictly for jamming in your room, but once you start building up a collection of high end pedals with a really nice tube amp nothing else can really compare. Use to love those multi effects when I first started playing, but now I wouldn't use one outside of practicing alone.

Not necessarily true... there are still some limited run guitars that gain in value over time. Some of the Fender Pawn Shop stuff, for instance, is already going for more on eBay used than they originally listed for. I have a Marauder that I paid $300 for new and I just saw one go on Kijiji for 450 really quickly. I also have an Excelsior Pro amp and I've had people offer me nearly TWICE what I paid for it new just 4 years ago.
