really, it shouldn't matter what name is on the guitar, its what it sounds like, and how it plays that counts. gibson les paul is a good all around guitar, while fender, paul reed smith, gretsch and Rickenbaker all make excellent blues/slow rock guitars. If its hard rock/metal he likes than B.C rich, Ibanez, Jackson or ESP make a mean sounding guitar thats sure to please

For a beginners guitar, dont really matter what brand you buy really because that player will so awful no matter what =D. It's just that fender seems to be the most popular because its prevalently used. What you need to buy is a beginners package like this \nhttp://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Squier-SE100-Electric-Pack?sku=511681\n\nBecause if you just buy an electric guitar itself, then you would have to buy a combo amp(you will need an amp to amplify your guitar) which is going to be like 80-150 + a instrument cable which is like 20 bucks + picks + a guitar tuner. If you buy one of these beginning packages you get the whole deal for a good price. You dont worry about pedals until later on. Only until the player is good enough then he should upgrade. It's much more effiecient that way. If you really want to save money they buy it online. They offer free shipping + no tax on the website that I listed above. You also save time because you won't have to look around much + drive your heavy guitar package back from the store. I learned all this from the hard way and just wished someone would of told me but hey im telling you so spread the help!

schecter makes a good 5 or 6 string, but if you are just starting out 4 string would be much more practical. In that instance, I recommend getting a Fender J bass.

Jimi Hendrix, hands down.  Eric Clapton is also great, and I also really like Zeppelin's Jimmy Page and Queen's Brian May, but Hendrix is definitely the all-time best.

The Fender Squier Mini is an excellent choice. Made by Fender in Japan. Sounds and looks like a Statocaster. $99.00\n\nhttp://www.music123.com/Squier-Mini-i21360.music

Best guitarist ever is Jimi Hendrix.  He wrote the rule book on rock guitar and produced music that was years ahead of it's time.  Listen to 'Electric Ladyland' and tell yourself that this was recorded in 1968....

Get a Taylor or a Martin, those are the best acoustic guitars, go to http://www.musiciansfriend.com/ and look for acoustic guitars, they have a ton.

For a beginner I wouldn't go out and buy "the best" or most expensive. Get to learn it and make sure you like doing it before you spend any big money on it. Check your local guitar shops....they usually always have package deals for beginners (guitar and amp). I personally am a big fan of Jackson guitars and Peavey amps.

I own 3 Ibanez guitars, RG370DX,Jem77VWH and the JS 1200. The RG comes highly recommended, especially if you're into playing rock or metal. Since you're just starting out, try the RG321, it's a fixed bridge,basswood body, H-H PU config. If you want a floating bridge, you can try the RG320 or RG 350/370. If you want something other than the RG, the SZ series comes highly recommended, esp the SZ520.

I've played one, and I agree, for as cheap as the artcore series is, they are some very good guitars, anyone looking for a good guitar definately needs to look at these. I currently have a carvin dc400 with active electronics and a air norton in the neck and a duncan sh10 full shred  in the bridge. it's an awesome combination. I'm currently looking into a new acoustic, but if I didn't have the carvin, I'd definately look into it more

Hands down it's the Stratocaster. The Precision bass is truly a fine instrument. The Telecaster is also a very good guitar, but across the board the Strat takes the cake. It is a tremendously versatile instrument even at the cheaper levels. And I know this may sound funny, but with the contouring it is also very easy to play. Plus, why do you think so many other guitar manufacturers have designs that resemble a Strat? The Strat has been in existence since 1954, and will certainly remain as one of if not the most popular guitars in history.

I think I would go with the Ibanez Tube Screamer. My cousin has one and it sounds really awesome.

I use the green Dunlops (I think they're .80 mm). They're so cheap, just buy a mixed handful and see what you like. I started out using very thin picks and have slowly worked my way up. Brain picks are great as well, they have a nice grip so you don't lose them while you're playing.
