You are probably up a creek on this one. Your best bet for something a little cheaper than $2000 is to look into Godin guitars. I can't remember ever having seen a guitar like the one youe are describing, but I have seen some that have a more compact body and on- board electronics. Try contacting local music stores for more info. Good luck on this one..... if you can find one I think that would be a fairly interesting guitar!

Go to Guitar Center or your local guitar shop and ask them what they would sell it for. I would choose your local place first, cuz GC might short-change ya.

You sound like you are after a beginner's guiitar, do the following:\n\n1)Take a guitar lesson (anywhere between £15-£25 an hour usually, depending on where you live) and look on the net to find how to play the major choards, but in particular a G major, F major, any major barre chord, and a B minor.\n2) Have another few lessons and learn the pentatonic blues scale 1st position (sound difficult, but it isn't and your instructor should make it clear) + play the chords again.\n3) Go into a guitar shop and try playing what you've learnt on - A Stratocastor, a Les Paul, an SG, an Ibenez and then any other you like the look of or they recommend.\n4) Spend a good chunck of time playing each until you find one that feels comfortable.\n\nYou should have a good idea of whick one to buy now, the other major consideration is the sound you're after though. Basically Humbuckers = Rock/Metal, Single Coil pickups = better for softer, cleaner sounds.\n\nDiscuss this with them at the shop and mail me or ask on here again if in any doubt.\n\nPeople band names about like Fender and Gibson, and to some degree they are right, but I'd never buy a guitar I'd not played. I owned a modified Gibson Studio worth £700 but traded it in for an Epiphone Les Paul standard that I now gig with and to me it is better.\n\nRemember, Slash's main guitar is a hand built one by a now dead guitar maker, he bought around 50 odd £1000+ guitars and still never found one he liked as much.

Depends on what style of music you play.Since you say you play acoustic now i would think you dont play a whole lot of metal so,A fender is a guitar for playing classic rock or clean(no distortion.Gibson is nice but very expensive epiphone is a good choice.If you like metal like me a Jackson is awesome or ibanez.

Ibanez  is a well known guitar manufacturer based in Nagoya, Aichi, Japan, the company was started by Hoshino Gakki.\n \n\n\nHistory\nThe Hoshino Gakki company began in 1900 as a musical instrument sales division of the Hoshino Shoten bookstore company. In 1935 they began manufacturing their own stringed instruments. The company had little presence in the Western world until the mid-1960s.\n\nBy 1965 Rosenbloom had decided to stop manufacturing guitars and chose to become the exclusive North American distributor for Hoshino Gakki instruments. At the time, the phrase "made in Japan" was considered to have negative connotations of low quality, so Hoshino Gakki and Rosenbloom wanted to distribute the instruments under a "non-Japanese" name. Hoshino had recently acquired a small Spanish guitar company named Ibanez, and it was decided to market the instruments under this brand name. In 1971 Hoshino purchased Elger Guitars, renaming the company "Ibanez U.S.A." and retaining the company headquarters in Bensalem, Pennsylvania as a distribution and quality-control center.\n\nIn the early 1970s Ibanez began making guitars that were almost exact copies of popular models by Gibson, Fender and Rickenbacker. Using somewhat cheaper materials and greater automation in manufacturing, they were able to sell these guitars for a significantly lower price than the originals. The low price combined with the relatively high quality of the guitars made these models very popular. Many guitar aficionados feel that the early- and mid-70s mark a low point in the quality of guitars from the major manufacturers, which helped contribute to the popularity of the Ibanez copies. These guitars have become known as "lawsuit" guitars and have become somewhat collectible.\n\nThe actual lawsuit referred to was brought by the Norlin Corporation, the parent company of Gibson guitars, in 1977, and was based on an Ibanez headstock design that had been discontinued by 1976. Ibanez settled out of court, and by 1978 had begun making guitars from their own designs.\n\nAbandoning the strategy of copying "classic" electric guitar designs, the newer models began incorporating more modern elements into their design, such as radical body shapes, slimmer necks and flatter fingerboards (which allowed for faster playing), higher-output electronics and colorful finishes. This led to an increasing popularity with heavy metal musicians. The company also began an extensive program of consulting with well-known guitar players, such as Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and George Benson, and creating signature models made to the players' specifications.

If you want, send me all the info you have on it and I will see what I can come up with. What are you trying to do? I may be able to help I build guitars on my spare time.

Ibanez comes from factory. You might be able to find parts from Ibanez factory, then put it together yourself, but it wouldn't be called an Ibanez, you'd call it a custom built, put your own brand name if you can get a license from Ibanez.

I have been VERY happy with my Ibanez Artwood.  You'll spend around 300 bucks and get a quality reliable guitar that would be awesome for a beginner.  And good on ya for trying to do this for him.  Any chick that gets her fella a guitar is a keeper.  Good Luck!

I say get a Fender Standard Strat because they are cheaper and to me they sound just as good.  But for like a hundred or so dollars more you could get the Buddy Guy Strat.  I love Buddy Guy by the way so that might have been biased.  haha...but definately consider the standard.
