<------- Get Eddie's guitar!! lol. The guitar you want to get really depends on your style. I'm a heavy duty lead guitarist who is into classic rock and the like, so I've got an Ibanez JEM7V. For a standard, beginner guitarist, stick with a Fender Squier or Epiphone Les Paul. This is my guitar:
I have a white Custom Les Paul by Epiphone and it works like a beaut... I love it but yeah I would recommend anything by Epiphone because my brother has an Epiphone that he loves too.
