What guitar should I buy?

Name: Anonymous 2010-11-07 5:42

Hey /mu/, I've been playing Acoustic Guitar for 2 years now and I think I've gotten sufficiently good to move up to an electric guitar, got any opinions on what guitar I should buy? (I also play more grunge orientated songs if that helps)

Try out a bunch of different guitars on a bunch of different amps, first of all.  Personally I avoid Gibson and Fender instruments (though Fender amps are just fine) because I find them to be overpriced for the quality of what you get in return.  Look into Schecter for a good inexpensiveish guitar.  For grunge style playing (unless you consider bands like Nirvana to be grunge) you'll want some thick, sludgy distortion.  Big Muff rules (it's a fuzz box), but test it out first.  It's too much muff for some! 
If, instead of sludgy grunge sound, you want a sharper honking tone like Kurt Cobain often used, look at guitars with single coil pickups.  Most Fenders use single coil pickups.
Have fun shopping and good luck!
