Heya Folks, I'm new to playing guitar (4 months) but I seem to have picked it up quite well. At the moment, I just have a cheapo acoustic but I already have the urge to buy an electric. I'm not sure what to get, as I don't know much about electric guitars at all. At the moment, I've got my eye on this Fender (that colour too). I think it's a mexican made, but I've heard US made are better. Will a novice notice the difference? Is it worth me worrying about? I can get it for $795 from Billy Hyde. Before I go spending any hard earned on an electric, I thought I'd seek some advice from a community of guitarists. So, if you have any thoughts/feedback, I'd appreciate reading them. Oh, one last thing. I'm a left hander so, from what I've seen so far, my options are somewhat limited.

when buying a guitar, i usually go for what feels right to me and what sounds right. when you pick up a guitar, you know if it feels good - it's easy to play, balance is nice etc. sounds right - play some chords high up on the neck - is each note still in perfect pitch? if not, try something else, if so and it feels right and you can afford it, go for it

OK, in case anyone is interested, I decided on: This Fender Strat. ...and this Marshall AmpThe amp came in a pack, with chords, guitar carry bag, instructional DVD (very good), picks, strap. Got the lot from Billy Hydes for $1,070. Jimmy is a happy fook Now, just gotta learn how to play the bloody thing
