Bastid!
Perhaps - but I've hung out with you.
Here is something to think about.
It is a good idea, according to many players, to plan to spend as much on an amp as you do on your guitar.
With this in mind, you might want to consider getting a very decent amp, maybe a tube amp, as an upgrade from the one you now have if it is not an awesome amp.
An awesome really half way decent amp will make your guitars sound super great compared to a mediocre less than half way decent amp. By half way decent I mean that when considering amps a lot is relative. There are affordable but costly amps and there are super expensive amps. A half way decent one is probably not going to be cheap, in all probability. Maybe not too expensive, but not cheap.
Just something to think about. Do your guitar a favor unless you already have an awesome amp.
Duffy,
What I have now is about as far from an awesome amp as you can get.
Any suggestions for a decent, very small sub $300 or sub $500 amp. I stopped by GC today (bought a new black Tremonti on clearance) and he recommended a small Bad Cat amp they had on clearance for $300.
Thanks

You can buy all the guitars in the store, and if you can't play them, what's the point?
I thought the more guitars you had the better you could play......no??
Mbanks850.....Is that a Vintage Sunburst?

Seriously, I wanted a less expensive guitar to bang on but was closer in feel to the Custom 24 and besides they had it on clearance for what I believe was a great price. I have not even seen any used ones for $300 on eBay, let alone a brand new one.
As far as amps go, he also recommended the Fender SuperChamp X2. He said it was a 15 watt tube amp but was also a modeling amp so I could fart around with endless tones. Would that be a good starter amp? I think I can buy that one for around $300. I definitely want something small and portable.
I'm also looking at the Vox VT20PLUS 20-Watt 1x8 Guitar Combo Amplifier ( http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0043UKJ4K ) this one seems to be exactly what I'm looking for???

Duffy....That Peavey looks very nice but in a perfect world I'd rather get something a little smaller and less expensive if possible.
Thanks again for all this advice....this is a great forum with a lot of knowledgeable and helpful guys....thanx.
Instead of buying another guitar, find a good teacher and take lessons. It's the best, fastest way to learn, and the teacher will be able to work with your skill set, because every student is different. Besides, it's fun.
I can't play worth a lick but I sure have one pretty guitar. Even if I never learn how to play I can see a wall full of these things in my future.
YUP! Been taking lessons for 3 and a half years and just got rid of my cheap ole Fender Frontman AMP.
I kind used it as a reward for myself to get a decent amp..
Scales, open and power chords, pentatonics...Some fun sonsg to keep a pleasure/work mix..play play PLAY...practice practice...
I am NOT bored with any of it becuase I know it will pay off and all come together...I am just now starting to reach out to other musicians and possibly taking a harder look at my Torero..But a low E string is a Low E string..
As a beginning sudent, I dont care if that string sits on a 10,000 dollar guitar or a 100 guitar..the mechanics are the same. And any time screwing around shopping for the 'next' guitar means I am not playing.
Shop less, play more.
At the end of the day do you want to be a guitar collector or a guitar PLAYER?
