    I love the look of the new Striker and I was able to try a couple of them! Didn't buy it though because the model I wanted had mistakenly had a 3-way switch installed instead of a 5-way. I also would love to try the Revstar since my Pacifica 612 is an excellent guitar. However, Yamaha electric guitars are almost impossible to find in Texas right now...

    Yamaha Revstar Element w- satin neck is calling to me. It has a Rickenbacker-ish look which I like. It's striking but I REALLY wish Yamaha had extended the pickguard down to the selector switch in the style of a Strat or Jazzmaster. That one looks a bit quirky but I guess it works. It sounds great as well. Woah... okay, just saw the price. Anyway, gotta say -- that was some fantastic playing throughout. 🤘

    question: A guitar that doesn't suck for beginners plugged into an entry-level amplifier (that probably does) will not sound as well as it sounds in the video. So, my question is, for a beginner (no pedal, no gate noise, no fancy stuff), is it better to spend less on a cheap guitar but a little more on an amplifier? I said that because I find it difficult to hear in your videos the difference between an entry-level guitar and one a "little more expensive". Maybe it's me, as a beginner. Or maybe is the camera mic. I don't know. Anyway, good video as always, and good affordable guitars from what I can tell. Ps. I bought myself an Eko Aire Lite (Italian brand, I think you know it) and a marshall MG15 (non FX, unfortunately). I will upgrade to something better, but for now, I need to practice with it.

    I would say as a beginner your main goal should be a decent guitar to play on, and more important learn on. You might not get the perfect sound on a smaller cheaper amp, but Amps especially used, are cheaper in my experience than a solid guitar. So probably best to buy a solid guitar to learn on, then worry about the better amp and accessories later down the road.

    It’s a good question. When I first picked up a guitar 20 years ago, cheap guitar definitely equalled bad guitar that was difficult to play and not good for a beginner. It seems that now you can buy an inexpensive guitar that won’t be horrible to play but many really cheap amps continue to sound bad. I’m no expert, maybe others will disagree, but that’s my current thinking

    I had an cheap guitar and an ever cheaper amp at the beginning (back in 1983) my way was first a slightly better guitar, than an better amp, and so on. The better you get, the better the guitar should be. When you can play that guitar, get an slightly better amp. So the tone gets better. And if you have one guitar or amp that you think is the best for you, get the other one better.
