What is he best beginner electric guitar that can be bought?

I have been playing guitar for 2 years and now I have going to buy an electric guitar I have decided on the Ibenez GRX20 is good or notWhat is he best beginner electric guitar that can be bought?
All details are on their home pageWhat is he best beginner electric guitar that can be bought?
It's fine for a beginner on electric guitar but i'll rather throw in a bit more to get a better Ibanez beginner guitar; which is the RG:

With an Edge III, 24 jumbo frets, thin neck and versatile pickups, it's the ebst beginner electirc guitar one can find.





Versatile guitars are what you need when you're get starting out on electric.
To be honest with you, there are a lot of factors that go into purchasing a guitar. Acoustics and electrics are VERY different. I know this is going to take a while but.





First, for me, is the sound. Does it sound the way you want for the type of music that you play? Can you get the tone and style of sound that you want from the pickups that it has on it? try going to your local music store and see if they have one that you can try (they should) and plug it in and see what it sounds like, try every knob and switch on it to see what it sounds like in every setting you can think of, but don鈥檛 just plug it in to some random amp and then go ';ok I like it';, try different amps, me I at least try 2 or 3, and do the same for each amp, you should also be sure to look at the amps settings too and play around with those.





Next is durability, do you think it will last for what you鈥檙e going to use it for? usually you can just ask the clerk if there have been any one that has had problems with that certain model or type of guitar, like string breaks, faulty wiring/electronics, equipment failure (had a strap knob break on me once... eesh), and things of that nature, seeing as how your a still a beginner I don鈥檛 think you would be banging it against the floor or smashing amps with it any time soon so this really shouldn鈥檛 be a problem for you.





Next is the fit. Can you hold it right? Do the frets fit your hands? Can you play it well? Or is it hard to hold steady. If you like to stand and use a strap ask the clerk for a strap and see how it fits on you. If you plan on standing a lot I would also suggest looking into some strap locks, (seeing as how you鈥檙e a beginner I don鈥檛 think this is big issue ether)





Then you look at the price. Can you afford it? Is it worth what you鈥檙e paying? You could go out and spend $2000 on a guitar with all these bits and bobs and cool electronic thingers on there that you will never use, when a $150 - $200 guitar works and fits you ten times better. If you can鈥檛 afford it then try finding a price range that you can afford and start from there. There might be a guitar that has the same stuff on it for cheaper.





Finally after every thing... sounds good, feels good, plays good.... does it look good? (My favorite) do you like the color? Does it fit your style and personality that you would like to convey? it really doesn鈥檛 matter what it looks like but you don鈥檛 want to be banging out cowboys from hell on a Barbie guitar or Spiderman guitar... or maybe you do I don鈥檛 know, just ask the clerk, they may have that same guitar in a different style or color.





I know it鈥檚 a little long (sorry) but if you want to know what the best beginner guitar is that鈥檚 what I would look for in a beginner or any guitar. This list isn鈥檛 exactly what you should be looking for down the T, but I think it鈥檚 a good set of guidelines as you buy your first electric guitar. As for the Ibanez GRX20 I hear mixed comments, some it is a very good beginner guitar, others say it鈥檚 not so good. (that鈥檚 going to happen a lot) I don鈥檛 know I don鈥檛 have one myself but, if you like it and it fits all the stuff above, I would say go for it. All I鈥檓 really trying to say is try it out first and don鈥檛 be afraid to ask questions. Happy strumming.
My main concern with a guitar is a set neck b/c I find its easyer to hit notes on the 22 fret and good stable desighn (tuners, bridge ect...) so that your guitar stays in tune. The pickups are more preference. Try out many guitars with different amps to see the sound you like. Also think about pedals if you like rock/metal music. My Line6 Uber Metal is the best pedal I've ever owned or used for that matter. As for Ibanez I have one cheaper Ibenez guitar (model?) and overall it is decent to play. If I were you I would go with an epiphone if your not going to spend to much money. Other than the wood used and the price my epiphone SG ($400) and my Gibson SG ($1300) are almost identical.
for a beginner, dont overspend...get a fender squire strat (around $125.00)...I have used one on stage and they play great!
For my money, its a Fender Squire Telecaster, or one of those Fender '52 (Something or another)... In my day, we started out with Guitars that were virtually unplayable by todays standards. Its a wonder that we stuck with it...
Any guitar can be good or not. Go to a guitar shop and try it out, take into account the play-age tremolo tuning all that stuff and see if you like it.
um married to a music man. He always says start slow and don't buy a guitar bigger than you are, but start from the bottom and build up. (smiles) great luck. Music men make the world go round.
Good Guitar. Not as good as Epiphone Les Paul or SG's. They are reliable with a lovely sound. Great guitars. I would suggest one of these.





Hope I Helped :)
go to your local music store and ask for their clearance or wholesale section. That's probably the best idea.
its ok but best beginner guitar either has to be yamaha nrg or fender stratocaster
